Dear Tim and Barbie,
Woodrow recently turned 1 and we wanted to say hello. Woodrow has gotten so big and reminds us very much of his dad Colt, as we remember him the first time we saw Woodrow. I’ve attached a picture of him with his “Golden Meadows blanket”. He still plays with it and his tiny little toy that you sent home with him. He is the sweetest, most soulful guy. He has a pal, Marley, in our neighborhood that he has play dates with often. She is a slightly older Labra doodle, that he met right after he came home and they are best buddies. They wrestle, play and take toys from each other, then collapse and sleep together. He has lots of other pals that we meet at our neighborhood park regularly.
A Golden Retriever puppy is certainly not for the rigid, but if you can get beyond the garden and carpet destruction, he is the most loving and wonderful addition to our family!!!
By the way, he was house trained within days of coming home. He has torn up the upstairs carpet, probably because he heard me say I didn’t like it anyway. The garden destruction is slowing down and I have begun to forgive him.
Both Jim and I are over the moon about Woodrow and our family is as well. The grandchildren can’t wait to visit him and call him on the phone regularly.
Anyway, just wanted to say hello and give you an update on our big handsome boy. He is staring at me now, since I promised him a day at Camp Bow Wow. He loves going to camp, and wears himself and the other dogs out, playing non-stop.
Hope all is well with you and would love to hear the latest news from Golden Meadows.
Very Best Regards,
Susan and Jim TenBrook
