My new best friend
I don't think I introduced you to my avatar. Meet Goldie. She is a 3 yr old boxer mix and joined our family two weeks ago. My plan was to get a Bird and we ended up with a dog?! Go figure.
Regardless of how that happened, I'm sure glad it did. She is the sweetest. She has adopted me as her favorite and I'm fine with that cause I'm pretty fond of her too.
I never had a dog as a child and this is my first experience. I once thought that dog lovers were crazy, but now I get it. She is exactly what I have been missing.

Awww....she's adorable! Dogs are the best! Congratulations on your new addition.

Goldie is beautiful! I have a boxer, Petey. Boxers are very loyal. They follow their caretaker everywhere. Having a dog is a blessing. Enjoy!

She is a rescue and is trained. She does exactly as I command every-time! She is so smart and gentle I can't believe someone could give her up. She follows me every step I take but if I tell her no she stops.

Yes I'm hooked and have every intention of becoming one of those crazy dog people.
