Mikey

This is our dog Mikey. He doesn't get enough kuddos for just how special he is. This dog is the most loveable, patient, playful, funny dog I have ever known. As you can see from the pictures he is also very gentle with my boys. He is a "Gentle Giant". I say this because he weighs 100 lbs. which is large for a Golden Retriever. We were told his grandfather weighed 135 lbs.! He is such an obedient dog too. I give him his bath in the bath tub and it's not as hard as it sounds. It's actually quite easy, since he eagerly walks right in and jumps into the tub! How many dogs do that? Some of you may remember the pictures I posted in the summer of Caleb and Mikey playing with the water in the backyard. Caleb throws the water into the air and Mikey jumps up to catch it. This creates a lot of laughter from Caleb. At first, Elijah was a little intimidated by Mikey's size and by the fact that he was well, a dog! A very big dog! But as you can see, that has changed and Elijah climbs all over Mikey and Mikey just lays there.:)
