Retriever Rescue

Yesterday was the big guy's 5th birthday.My, how time has flown. That sweet little 11 week old bundle of fluff we brought home from Jan has grown into a wise man who EVERYONE loves. Dogs, kids, guests, strangers on the street, you name it, they love him.

I had to stop people petting him in the park the other week as there were so many people stopping to chat it was getting on my nerves and Bentley's. We'd been put about two hours and only got a mile!!

Even Gordon the local American bulldog thug who hates everyone loves Bentley.

We made a lovely little birthday video for you all but I can't get it to upload to photo bucket. I'll keep trying.

On the epilepsy front, we have mostly managed to get his fits under control. Now he has about one a month and if I can catch it early enough I can sometimes stop it happening. I just wish he'd have them at five in the afternoon rather than five in the morning

Rain or shine he goes for his daily swim in the sea. Then we generally do a bit of training on the beach. We have a heel work competition coming up next week. It's only a fun show not a KC show so no pressure.

Definitely a cold weather guy, the colder the weather, the more energy he has. One day last summer a trainer suggested I get another dog to train with as Bentley wasn't doing too well. (to be fair, he wasn't up for it that night) I told her in no uncertain terms what I thought of that idea. Mr B is the one and only!!

Well folks. Thats our update. I love reading all your stories and seeing your pictures. I'll keep trying to upload the video.

How can it possibly be nearly 5 years since you took that little scrap to your heart.

Have a super day. although it sounds to me as if you have a wonderful day every day.

Happy birthday Bentley and our best wishes.

Happy Birthday Bentley,

Can't believe he is 5yrs old, where does the time go. Still a very handsome boy.

Lovely video but I should have watched it with the sound off.......Calli's head went side to side when she heard the first squeaker then she went belting downstairs to see if someone was stealing her toys.

There is something about paper that goldens love, ripping it up or stealing it....kitchen roll, tissues our Ginnie was a paper thief and trasher, and now Calli is just like Ginnie.

love from Lynda and Calli
