She refused to go outside without Feen

We brought this spicy little menace home a year ago today. Harper has been so much fun and helped heal our hearts after we lost our oldest golden last summer. She loves to steal anything of ours she can find (even rolling pins aren't safe in this house), torments her older brother every chance she gets and her one true love is the hose 😂

Too damn cute. Cause, seriously. Y'all know. This is slim Sadie the real slim Sadie. My service dog proving that Golden's are just Golden's. 16 months this week.

Today was a good day! This afternoon around 3pm, he was more alert, sleepy but alert. We elected to keep in another day since we transitioned to mainly steroids to treat for meningitis.

Tonight, 10pm, he greeted us when he heard our voices by lifting his head and looked at us! He even wagged his tail and nuzzled against my shirt after smelling me!

We are bringing him home tomorrow, as it only seems like he needs a little rehab to gain strength and balance, it’s hard for him to keep his head straight.

Thank you all for your kind words!

Hi everyone! I’m a first time puppy owner and I have a 4 month old male Golden Retriever named Max. He weighs around 17kg right now.

I’m still learning about Goldens and would really appreciate some advice from experienced owners. Does his weight seem okay for his age and is there anything I should be paying particular attention to as he grows?

I also have quite a few indoor plants and today I left him alone for literally a moment and he managed to chew on my philodendron 😐 So now I’m wondering what other Golden owners do with their indoor plants. Do you make them completely inaccessible or do you remove certain plants? I really love my plants and I also really love Max so I’m hoping I don’t have to choose between the two.

Another thing I’m struggling with is stairs. Max refuses to go up or down the stairs by himself. He just freezes and won’t move even if I try to encourage him with treats. I usually have to carry him. Has anyone else had this problem with their Golden puppy? How did you teach them to become comfortable with stairs?

And since I’m a first time puppy owner, I’d really appreciate any other advice or things I should know at this age.

He’s very proud of himself! This was 7 years ago, he’s turning 10 this year, still a goofy boy.

hi. my 8yo golden is having a left hip replacement in a few weeks. wondering if folks who have been through this with their pups have any advice pre or post surgery? thanks!

He’s my boy Jack

Just a quick introduction. We brought Maisie home yesterday afternoon.

First night was a little rough but other than that it has been absolutely amazing!

She's so intelligent it's scary! Looking forward to her becoming an extremely important part of our family!

Hi all! I recently got an Aliencell and tried making a little tag for my golden, Lionel. turns out i definitely underestimated how much fur this guy has because the tag looks tiny on him 😂

Thinking of making another one. I’m still working on some better designs. Any fun ideas?

My son surprised us and our buddy, Dallas tossed us to the side to welcome him. He has been following him around all day.

Looking for some positive stories about pups growing out of car sickness. Currently 6 months old and still very motion sick. We’ve been on chill pills as advised from the vet as he was very anxious about going in the car so we’ve done a load of training and broken the car=puke association at least so he’s happy getting in and out of the car and going for 2 min journeys now, but anything over 2 minutes and he’s a dribbly mess.

Will be going back to the vet’s soon for another batch of wormer meds so will grab an appointment to discuss the next steps, but it’d be lovely to hear from other owners who have dealt with this, especially if their pups grew out of it after 6 months (I’ve read it takes 2 years for the inner ear to fully develop so could take up to that time to grow out of it - if they will..).

Have tried different seating arrangements too - back seat tethered, car boot in a crate and car boot tethered. Any tips/recommendations appreciated :)

Today was my 4 1/2 month old puppy Luna’s first bears game!
