Day 149: Emily and Friends
Day 149: Emily, originally uploaded by Craig is shooting.
Emily is now about 8 months old, and weights in at over 32kg. She still manages to have that really cute puppy-dog expression on her face “it is such hard work being so cute”.
Here are two of her siblings:

Eccles is Lois’ guide dog. She is a cross between a Labrador and a Golden Retriever. She has always had the gray on the muzzle, but it is starting to get a little more profound.

Cassius is the old boy of the house. Even though he is not a boxer, he is named after Cassius Clay (the boxer). He is starting to feel the cold in his bones, but he is such a lovely dog.

And since today’s pic is of Emily, we will finish off with another pic of her.









I’am thinking of buying a golden Retriever as a puppy for my daughter. Is this a right choice? Is a Golden Retriever good with young children? My daughter is 6 years old.
Yes, both Labradors and Golden Retrievers are excellent with children. Here is a pic of ours playing with a four year old.
Eccles looks sweet. I bet she’s a terrific helper. I’m so glad your wife has her.
Yes SRQ, she is an amazing dog. The difference she makes is remarkable.
Where is Calvin!! Beautiful pics
Thanks, he was probably chasing a cat or something at the time.
Great dog pics, Craig. And beautiful dogs too.
Thanks Alan, the black dog is Eccles. She is Lois’ guide dog; and that photo is HDR:-)
