Interesting Facts: She barks at animals on the TV; she still whips her toys around at twelve and a half; she cheers along with us for our favorite sports teams by barking enthusiastically for touchdowns or three-pointers; and for some unknown reason our kids call her Geoff sometimes.

That’s a beautiful golden
