Loki, formerly Turbo Our family has re-named Turbo in honor of the Norse god of mischief- Loki, and he has been hard at work living up to it! What a hand-full he has become. We have a two hour period first thing-The Morning Crazies, then some relative calm of just misbehaving till The Midnight Madness kicks in. I can understand why the owner decided to give him up before her world got very complicated. He's a sweetheart, but closely resembles a Whirling Dervish on speed. We try to keep him worn out from exercise and play. They say a tired dog is a good dog. It took him no time at all to master the doggie door off the porch, and he blasts out of it to the back yard, running like a maniac. He delights in dragging in palm fronds, sticks, rocks, and anything else he can lug. The squirrels are his nemesis-always taunting, but never to be caught. We've "baby proofed" the house. No sense in having temptation around, and liberally supply him with toys, chew bones, and balls. He loves his toys. It takes him only two or three days to destroy one, but he hasn't damaged anything else-yet. Well worth the investment. We haven't been able to catch up to Judy or Merlin for a close-by vet recommendation yet, so we're taking him to your old vet-Nova. Actually it was meeting Judy and Merlin walking their Goldens at the park that we learned about your organization. Funny how things turn out. He loves the Life's Abundance food. We're slowly switching him over to it. He'll pick the kibbles of that food out first before eating his old food. We ordered it on line and were surprised to get it two days later, and during the holidays no less. He has settled in wonderfully. The first week he was rather calm, but now the honeymoon seems to be over. We remember these zany times from when our departed Golden was this age. It's good to know that this is probably the peak of his puppy energy crazies, but also, for a Golden, that the puppy phase will last in some form for the next ten years. I can't attach photos to this so I'll have to send them separately. Sorry about that. Hope to see you at the reunion. Thanks so much, Barb
