I'd tell you exactly where she sleeps...but that would only ensue more jealousy.

Morry does'nt sleep with me, but I give him lotsa hugs!
I understand that. My family used to have this golden retriever, Molly, that was so sweet--she'd sleep on my bed every night and if I read late, I'd cover her head up with a blanket. After she died (from some bizarre sudden heart failure), we got another golden retriever, Tobey, from the same breeder. But something happened with the overbreeding of this group and his wires were crossed differently. Like, he didn't have a friendly disposition as all other goldens have. He'd snap at us and would lash out--act crazy! He was getting better as we tried to train him, but then he started getting really angry again. He was on drugs and those weren't working anymore so we took him to get blood tests as a "last resort" before getting rid of him. It came back and we went to get x-rays--he had lymphoma. The tumors were all over his body and up into his brain which explained the terrible behavior returning.Broken Kid wrote:Probably...but he's rather ... destructive.

Aww, doesn't Morry get cold at night?
Aw, that's so sad. Morry is nicest doggie in the world. His thing is, though, that he likes to chew. I can't get him any squeaky toys or anything besides really tough bones, because he'll just sit and chew. Outside, he eats sticks. He's really smart...don't know why he's destructive though. *sighs* It's frustrating!Flautapantera wrote:I understand that.

Anyway, he never slept on my bed because he'd rip everything up.
Wow. I didn't mean to go on and on!
How old is Morry again--2? That's kinda in the puppy stage still, so chewing is allowed.Broken Kid wrote: Aw, that's so sad. Morry is nicest doggie in the world.

Yeah, he has LOADS of puppy in him...He's about 15 months...got a long way to go before he calms down.Flautapantera wrote:How old is Morry again--2? That's kinda in the puppy stage still, so chewing is allowed.
They do love sticks, don't they? Tobey would pick up these massive branches (probably 6 or 7 feet) and drag them around the yard. What weird dogs we have. But I guess that's actually pretty natural.
Aww. Morry is so adorable with his stick! Have you named it yet? Because I know if my dog had a favorite stick, it'd already have a name and a place in the Christmas family picture.Broken Kid wrote: Yeah, he has LOADS of puppy in him...He's about 15 months...got a long way to go before he calms down.
Here's Morry and his summertime favorite stick.
Ha...no, his stick is long gone. He eats them and chews away at them until there's nothing left. Then he tears a new one off the bushes in my backyard. *sighs*Flautapantera wrote:Aww.

Aww, that's cute! How ignorant of me to believe a stick would last a month or so with Morry!Broken Kid wrote:
