She is a ten week old golden labrador called Harper.
Full of mischief and joy, but settling in well.
We did get some sleep last night (til 5.30am) but very early days  ;D

Hats off to you, so much work, yet  so much love.  Can't wait to see photo's.  I am a serious dog (animal lover) and actually moved into a condo where I can't get another one, my health doesn't allow me to care for one properly, so I figured it best to live threw others' animals, really happy for you!  Ted

She looks very intelligent. You're in trouble now!  :rofl;

I have a smart dog and found out smart dogs are much more work than dumb dogs. Lucky you! She'll be tons of fun and she's also very cute. I know you'll love her to pieces.

Congrats on your new dog.  My wife is a cat person so no dogs for me but I love all animals so it works out.  There is no better dog in my mind then a golden lab, my mother had one for the last 10 years of her life,  the best part was she got godly in the winter and lived in the adirondack mountains, lots of snow.  Goldy got use to doing her business on the son that spring it was hilarious watching the dog run around look for the last snow piles to use.  It was a mournful day for Goldy when the lst pile was gone.  She adapted but I think she only felt comfortable the next winter when her world again included snow.  twenty years later and I still get a smile remembering that dog she was special.  I hope you have as much fun with your lab as my family had with goody.
