Hi everyone! My name is Bixby and I am a 6-week-old PB Golden Retriever! I joined the RAGOM family on Saturday, November 9, 2013, along with my momma Nicole 13-351 and my 5 brothers (Chester, Oliver, Sawyer, Ryder, Winston) and 2 sisters (JJ and Samantha).

We all came from a breeder that was retiring due to health issues and he wanted all of us to find great forever homes.

At 4.5 weeks old, I weighed a healthy 7.4 pounds, tied with my brother Chester for the Biggest Bruiser title, and I am a goofy, cuddly, fluffy ball of fur! At 6 weeks, I am 9.9 pounds and growing strong like a weed! Here I am at our first vet appointment. I am totally asleep, propped up inside the chair frame--until I slid down to the floor without waking up.

 

Actually, I fall asleep in the silliest positions. Here I am sleeping inside our play area.

 

We are on a good schedule for playing and sleeping, with different people coming in 2 times during the day and some at night to help socialize us with people. It is incredible how many super nice people are out there, both from RAGOM and outside, that are willing to spend time bathing, playing, and even cleaning up our messes.

Saturday morning was D-Day, as in Denied-Day, so no more milk from momma Nicole. I am already missing that special time. But I know we have to grow up sometime.

As for my medical stuff, we have all been dewormed and will have our first vaccinations on Thursday, 11/21. The vet said none of us have any heart murmurs. We do have giardia, so we are being treated for that now. Thankfully, the diarrhea has stopped today (for six of us), so FM is SUPER HAPPY about that. I think 11 days of that was making her go crazy from lack of sleep, trying to keep us as clean as possible.

All of us will go see the Dr. for a “procedure” on December 10 so none of us will be moms or dads. We will be available for adoption starting December 12. It would be great to be in my forever home in time for me to send in my change of address card to Santa before Christmas two weeks later.

Remember, even though I am small, cute, and cuddly now, I will grow up to be a full-size dog in a very short time and I will need lots and lots of love, patience, exercise, obedience training, and adventures in my life. I would totally love to have a brother or sister or two in my new home, but it is not required. We are available to meet potential families now, so if you would like to meet me, please contact your placement advisor and ask for “Big Bixby”!

Saturday, December 28, 2013

Bixby has officially been adopted and spent his first Christmas with his new family. He will be living in the Twin Cities area and he hopes to keep in contact with his littermates. FM will surely miss this sweet, loveable, goofy guy as he loved to sleep with his head in the water bowl.

Congratulations to Bixby and the T Family!
