Oh be still my Retriever loving heart! Happy Dog of the Day to you Eli, you gorgeous Golden guy! What wonderful shots of you enjoying the snow, romping through those mounds with your beloved ball in your mouth! This is definitely your season, Eli, and what a snowy season it's been there in CT! My Lab Star has often lost her ball in the snow too, and while 9/10 times she can find it no matter how deeply it's buried, some years it's taken a major meltdown before she finds it!

You're the consummate Golden, Eli, embodying everything we Golden lovers cherish in your most beloved breed! My heart melted as your Mommy described you loving on your young girls, seeing them off to school, and caring so gently for your little kitty sibs! Your heart, along with your gorgeous coat, is pure gold!!! Your family is one lucky bunch, having you as a full fledged member of the family, their loyal and devoted companion and best furkid (though we know you're really human)

Thanks for warming my cold and gray day with your beautiful self, Eli! I hope you and your human family, and all of the furry ones, enjoy a very happy Dog of the Day, and many, many more wonderful years together...you're the best!

Big hugs and kisses, woofs and wags, purrs and wheeks to you beautiful Eli, from me and my crew...Star the Lab, kitties Oliver and Tigg, and Ruby the guinea pig!
