GOLDEN RETRIEVER! Squee!!!! I love those kind of dogs. Them and Labradors are my favorite. They have such a sweet temperament and lots of fun to be around.
When I get a dog, I'm intent on it being a golden retriever. I ACCEPT NO COMPROMISES! Golden Retrievers are awesome. Cute, awesome, and just fun.
I never had a golden retriever in my life, then in 2004 (when I was 17) we got Piper from a lady at our church whose Golden had puppies. Well, when Piper was 3, she needed a husband, so we met Westley and after a brief courtship, Piper became the mama of three fat golden retriever puppies. Dexter went to live with his daddy and his daddy's family, but we fell in love with Jenny and Willie so they got to stay here. They're really, really amazing dogs. They're sweet and sooooo loyal, plus they simply adore being around their people. If one of us is outside getting the mail or something, all three of them will stand at the window and cry until whoever gets back inside. And they're goofy! They're big furry doofuses.
