We love our Golden Retriever. Even though sometimes I want to kill her.

Like when she repeatedly chews through the sprinkler wires or digs up my plants or tracks mud in my kitchen. But mostly I love her.  She's a beautiful cuddle bug of a dog.

And she would prefer nothing more in life than to be just like this in the lap of someone she loves, getting petted. You can just feel her doggie bliss.  Speaking of bliss, Singer was made for this cold weather and ice. She's been bounding around our icy backyard like it's the world's most amazing, fascinating place. Clearly, this is her kind of weather.

Dorien also loves to get right down on Singer's eye level and commune with her.
