I love golden retrievers, they are such gentle dogs.
One dog, you don't know how easy you have it, or maybe you do.
We've also played host to friend's dogs so have had three at one time. And we know people with more than one.
And yes, we've been fortunate in our choice of 4-legged companions over the years - 2 goldens, 1 part golden and 1 part lab.
