I have a beautiful gold retriever puppy!
OH i love dogs! We have a Boston Terrier and a Chihuahua.
We used to have a boston terrier but it died, now we have our golden retriever and our Alaskan Malamute. Retreivers love water so much.
My grandfather always had labs.  They would swim in the river with us.  My dogs do not like to go swimming though.
I am sorry for you. Both of my dogs are well suited to live in our house.
