Sorry I didn't respond yesterday, as I was gone most of the day until late. Thank you for all the wonderful compliments to my sweet boy (and to me :o).
Staci, I used to struggle with Tommy on feet clipping/nail clipping too. He wasn't aggressive of course, just a kicker and wiggler. I started keeping my treat pouch with me. I'd pick up his foot, and as soon as he would stay still and just let me hold it a moment, he got a treat. Then worked up to clipping one nail, got a treat. After awhile he got a treat after each foot was done. Now he lays there perfectly still and relaxed and gets a treat after we are all done :). It's amazing how fast treats can work on a very food-motivated dog ;).
Robin, I remember when Mom came up to visit me for the first time since Tasha was an adult and we had gotten Tommy. She had only seen her in pictures for a couple years and her first words at seeing her again were "Wow she is taller than I thought." I think Tommy makes her appear smaller than she is :D. It's very hard to buy sweaters and that kind of thing for her because she is such an in-between size. The medium stuff is too small and the large stuff is just a bit too big. She seems somewhere between a medium and large dog. She has very slim legs and small feet too. I generally have to get large sizes on sweaters and small sizes on booties.
LabradorLover, I used a Sony Cybershot (DSC-S75).
Dixieland Dancer, Tommy is 4 and the past couple months are the first time I have noticed the white flecks here and there, around his eyes mostly. I imagine in the next year or two they will get more prominent. Though I know it's not really a sign of old age in a golden, it still made me sad the first time I saw them.
Sandra, Tommy is very happy to give you some smiles. If he could he'd send you big wet golden kisses :).
Thank you everyone!

I think Tommy is one of the most gorgeous dogs I have ever known!!! Beautiful pictures! He has such soulful eyes. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed them. :)

He is so cute. I love that first pic. I didn't realise how big he was(or how tiny you are?) Maybe a bit of both. I like the first one of him in the sun and of course I love the Tasha one. You've got yourself some very special dogs.

Awww! They're both adorable. I love the one of Tasha in the sun and the 'accidental' picture of Tommy. Also his eye pictures are incredibly good, I WANT YOUR CAMERA. Lol. :p

i love tommy and sweet tasha

Thank you to those who have recently replied :). I have always thought he was a beautiful boy but I'm admittedly biased too ;). I am not really a tiny person, I'm about 5'5" tall. He's a pretty big boy, I believe larger than average for a golden.
I'm glad everyone enjoyed the pics so much!
