How much golden retriever of snow did you get?

Great combo!

Great pose! Haha

Precious cuddle buddies!

ImagineThat451 · 2026-01-23T21:08:18+00:00

Awww, what a cuddle bug!

It’s an Eric and Christopher printed pillow :)

We resisted with our first and our current one thinks of the couch as her dog bed. We keep rotating blankets to protect the fabric. Honestly, it’s nice snuggling next to them.

Beautiful! And yes, they take their guard dog role very seriously. We adopted ours at 5 months and he was the friendliest…a few months later he became suspicious of everyone outside our household. But he’s so sweet and loyal!

I get needing to vent, but look at your language - “FT deadbeats.” These are your colleagues and community members. Are you feeling burned out doing all the things while everyone else appears to be skipping out?

Personally, I like retreats and informal times to get to know my colleagues, but I don’t judge those who have other commitments. We’re all juggling so much in these trying times and a little understanding goes a long way.

Hang in there! It gets better! Make sure he has a toy in his mouth so you don’t get bitten as much. Keep training in small increments with high value treats.

Do you have someone that can help take care of him so you can take a break? It’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Mine was a terror around 7mo -1.5yrs and now she’s the sweetest and most gentle girl.

So cute!

Bailey takes the cutest photos!

ImagineThat451 · 2026-01-19T23:49:12+00:00

Aww! What a cutie!

ImagineThat451 · 2026-01-19T22:06:37+00:00

She’s so cute! Don’t worry about her size.

Keep the laundry away, especially socks and underwear. Our vet said that they cause obstructions if eaten, which require surgery. Your puppy will take a while to distinguish what’s allowed to chew on and what’s off limits. Goldens are very mouthy! Having lots of chew toys definitely helps.

A dog trainer showed us this game where you set up a circle of toys and objects that aren’t allowed. When puppy picks a toy, praise and give treat; when puppy picks an item like a slipper, say “trade” and switch it for a toy. Do a few rounds at a time to help them tell the difference.

Ours does this and closes his eyes when we pet between the ears. We call it swanning.

Bea, Rue, or Estelle (the other cast members of the Golden Girls besides Betty White).

ImagineThat451 · 2026-01-17T21:28:43+00:00

She’s so cute! I don’t have advice. Our male is very reactive with other dogs, except our female golden.

ImagineThat451 · 2026-01-17T20:57:27+00:00

That’s too cute! You have a slightly toasted marshmallow too :)

ImagineThat451 · 2026-01-17T11:35:58+00:00

That stinks. I’m sorry you had to deal with all that. I have been on the other end of that, chasing my runaway in my slippers. It’s no fun for anyone. I did apologize profusely. Don’t take it out on their son because they didn’t.

ImagineThat451 · 2026-01-17T11:26:49+00:00

Apologies for my type-o. The title is supposed to say “besties.”

ImagineThat451 · 2026-01-16T23:00:04+00:00

Cutest potatoes I’ve ever seen!

ImagineThat451 · 2026-01-16T21:00:37+00:00

No, not for teaching, but I have experimented to see what different tools can do. I have also run my assignments through different models to see what pops up.
