It's been two weeks since my last update on Angel?!? Wow, time flies when you're having fun :) Angel has been a wonderful and easy addition to my household. This morning, I went out to have breakfast with my folks and brought the dogs for a car-ride since it was such a lovely day. I was amazingly ten minutes early, so let the dogs out for a walk around a baseball field - when Angel spied a pond! She is such a water dog, so made a beeline right for the pond and leapt in, and Libby the Yellow Lab actually followed her lead and jumped in as well. We all returned to my car, the dogs happy and refreshed - and DIRTY! :) Good thing I have leather interior...and my Dad thinks my car "...needs a hair cut."
Angel has now taken on her new role as Lead Foster Dog, and is doing very well showing our new Bailey 06-436 the ropes this evening; the two have been inseparable. I must say she's is doing a darned good job; Libby is pretending that nothing is going on and minding her own business as usual.
It is difficult to photograph Angel Girl and all the funny things she does. Her ears remind me of Pippy Longstocking - when she's attentive and listening to something, her ears literally stick out sideways, like airplane wings. And that tail of hers is high, tall, and proud. Pretty much puts to shame our new Bailey's tail, which is about as thick at Libby's tail (no feathering at all).
She is such a good girl, with her only issue being storms. I was at work when the Rogers tornado came through, and Angel had a potty accident that she felt TERRIBLE about. Otherwise, the dogs have the run of the house when I am gone and have had no issues whatsoever. Angel is cat-friendly and does not pursue them in the least or try to visit their bathroom. She is also very good and does not try to wander; responds immediately to her name.
If you are a busy family with children and think you want a young dog or a puppy; good luck with that. Angel is a dog that would blend in with your family, not demand any attention - but soak up any you are willing to spare. She's not a trouble-maker and won't cause you to rip out your hair or wish you'd never adopted a dog....she is such a sweet gal and will give so much Golden Love you'll wonder how you lived without her. If you need any more convincing, check out our page on Senior Goldens. In fact, someone may need to pry her leash out of my own hands now... :)
