Reagan- Our 8 year old Golden Retriever.
Reagan is now known as The Old Man but he used to be known as "AAAAARGH!!!' Reagan was a challenging puppy who even gave his trainer at Doggy Bootcamp a run for his money. But Reagan decided to reward our patience in his golden years by finally maturing into an easy going, pleasant family dog- unless there is food involved. Then he is a drooling, panting, annoying beggar. But no one is perfect, right?
Update: Reagan went to doggy heaven on 12/13/2013. You can read about our goodbye in the post "Imperfectly Perfect".
Rooney- Our 6 year old Labradoodle
Rooney came into our lives in February of 2012 after years of my declarations that you should only get a puppy in the late spring or summer when you live in the Pacific NW. As usual, I was right. If only I had listened to myself. But this little pup has been such a great little guy that I can concede it was worth it to break my own rule (although I might have said otherwise while working on housetraining in the pouring rain). Rooney is smart as a whip and a people-pleaser at heart, two excellent traits in a dog. With his teddy bear coat and ever-wagging tail, this guy brings daily smiles to our faces!
Zuzu- Our 2 year old Labradoodle
Well, it's official. Apparently every time one of our kids leaves for college, mom needs a puppy. We got Zuzu just before Timothy left for college because we have lost our minds. Luckily, she was the easiest puppy ever and is so endearingly sweet we all can't imagine life without her. She really is our angel and it truly is A WONDERFUL LIFE!
