National Day for the National Dog, one day late.

[BrentD]

Yesterday was a sort of surreal day. It was the first day of my retirement and my wife put me to work all day. I'm still exhausted.

But in the aftermath of that, I learned that yesterday was National Golden Retriever day. I have had goldens almost all of my life, but this is the first I heard about that. I guess I think every day should be National Golden Retriever Day. And so does Gus.

Here is Gus just last week on his last day of work before he too retired - but just until 1 September when the Early Teal Season opens. We bagged a few quail in Nebraska.

I realize that a few of you may quibble about the breed for National Dog. That's okay. I'm good with more than one breed of the National Dog, but those of you blessed with a Golden, post a few picts!

Buck is looking awesome! Man, I need one of those little ones around here. The smell of puppy breath has been absent in my home for over a decade.

Brent, congratulations on retirement, and your excellent taste in canine companionship. May we all be the people our dogs think we are.

I think 90% of my pictures are of Sunny....and like half of those are of him sleeping. Best companion I could have asked for.

My Myah was the best. Such a sweetheart. I sure miss her.
