The wait is finally over.
After years of begging and pleading, mom (me) finally gave in.
We got a dog!
He's a very mellow (so far! it was one of my requirements) and wonderful white Golden Retriever named Cole.
He just turned one, and has been trained.
My visiting teacher was over last week and I told her we were finally getting a dog and she told me about her sister-in-law who's a breeder nearby. We got in contact with her and she told us she only had dogs for $7,000 - $10,000 (gasp!). Then she found out we were referred by her family and she let us know about Cole. She wanted him placed in a loving family. A family we are, but probably more crazy according to a dog than loving at this point.
(right when we got home)
He's a bit overwhelmed at the attention and doesn't know who he should be listening to. Everyone keeps barking out commands. I think we'll spend more time training our children than we will this dog.

Oh yeah . . . she's happy.
He looks pretty happy, too.

What a beauty! I assume you got a really healthy discount... Those kids' smiles are worth a couple grand each, though.
looks like a great dog!!!!!!!
He looks perfect! Now we can all stop giving your kids the fake things!
He is beautiful. Can't wait to see him. Looks like he got Brooke hooked. Hope this runs over to other dogs as well. I doubt there is much hope for Debbie though.
It looks like Marley and Cole could be brother and sister! I have read about that breeder when we were looking for our dog. I loved their site!!!
How did you get a TRAINED dog that is a year from that breeder? That is fantastic! Marley just turned one in Jan and is the best dog. I must warn you....lots of hair! Good thing it is blonde and I love to vacuum daily....
You are brave! :)
Good for you!! He's really pretty, I mean, handsome! : )
He's a cutie. Golden retrievers are great! Looks like you have lots of fun memories coming your way- not to mention lots of work, too! Enjoy!
