This last week we went on vacation. My sister Nancy and her family came to visit from Utah. We went to the beach and a lake and we came home with a new family member - Jake.
This was totally unexpected.
While visiting with family we learned about Jake and that he needed a home. He is a 6 year old Golden Retriever. He comes from a very loving home where he was raised so well. He is very well behaved, great with the kids and loves to please, which I guess is very typical of Golden's. He is HUGE and call me silly but it feels like we have another person in the house.
We weren't currently looking for a new dog. (Grace and I learned that we are allergic to Sunny our Yorky-Poo. We are already on meds for that and other allergies so one more dog won't affect that) We love our Yorky-Poo and we tried taking her on trips. She throws up the second she gets in the car and doesn't stop until 30 mins. after shes been out of the car. When we walk her more than 10 minutes she has to be carried. She a wonderful fuzz ball of love but we have wanted a dog we could take on trips. We are so glad to have Jake with us and take him on trips to the lake and on hikes. I am also so glad that he was raised with love and comes pre-trained!
Frederick is a very dog friendly place with many dog parks.
