We're getting a cairn terrier in the spring, but for a few minutes on Sunday, I was seriously swaying in the direction of a golden. I went to Pet Smart to do some browsing and the woman that teaches puppy obedience class there had brought in her 6 year old golden "Misty"...well I just couldn't keep away from her! She was gentle and well behaved...she stared straight ahead while I pet her while occassionally glancing up at her owner as if to say "Is it OK that she's petting me?" LOL! I had tears in my eyes..such a perfect, clean beautiful, gentle dog! I hated to leaver her!!
