Hi there beautiful Bear! I just love that gorgeous, "golden" smile of yours, sweetheart! And you have every reason TO smile, don't you Bear? What a much love and cherished pup you are! I have to admit, my heart belongs to you Retrievers and you Bear personify all that is cherished in your beloved breed; your guardian is truly blessed to have a best friend in you! I'm sorry to hear you no longer enjoy the water, (those grooming sessions can be traumatic) but hopefully after some time and a little gentle coaxing, you'll be back, swimming your heart out! Until then, plenty of fun to be had with that hoola hoop! And don't forget, not long before the first snowfall!

Congratulations to our most beautiful, most deserving honoree, Bear! I hope you and your proud people are enjoying a very happy Dog of the Day celebration! Hopefully too, your Mom will give you a big hug and kiss for me!
Love and Labbie butt wiggles to you Bear from me and my girl, Star!
