Everlasting Love For My Dog: DJ!
It was the summer of 2007, on our way back from Bethany Beach, that we scooped up our little guy: DJ, a baby golden retriever. His breeding roots are one of show dogs, stars and celebrity owners, so he shouldn't be shy from the camera, especially having a momma like me who love, love, loves taking photo's, anyone who knows me well, knows this to be true, lol, since I was a child I would haunt people with my camera, I still do today, so watch out, I could be around the corner with my camera, lol.
Holding this little guy was a pride and joy, since I had never had a dog of my own, we knew it would be alot of work, but it was worth it, DJ was the missing void in my life, the glue which would bond it all together.
Within weeks DJ was bathroom trained, but he was a nibbler and a jumper, lol, chewing on everything, jumping up on everyone, but soon he out grew that, but didn't out grow his love for people and the ones he cares for. DJ is a party dog, he likes to be where the action is and be apart of the fun, when its too quiet he gets sad.
Playing with other dogs excites him and when he has had enough, he lets you know, I'm tired, so I'm going to lay down right here, his best buds are: Knuckles and Howie, friends dogs who love hanging out with him. When Howie stays over, DJ lets him share his bed, lol.
When you come home or visit DJ, is there to greet you, to let you know, hey I'm here, glad to see you, now lets play, eat and play some more, then I'll cuddle with you, he's a hoot, barks at people outside until you call out his name to say hi, its his way of saying hello, DJ is like the neighborhood mascot, your buddy on the hill. When he is outside, DJ can be found frolicking around on the grass, rolling down the hill, investigating the land with his nose and checking to see where the action is.
Inside DJ has his favorite spots, the mud room, the kitchen and the living room couch, aka the Livy! Where he sometimes sleeps or hangs out. DJ is a true friend, over the years he's been there for me, I taught him how to catch, play ball and key command words, we've learned he loves Vanilla Ice Cream, Peanut Butter, Pasta and Pig Ears, his fave toys are tuggies and rope toys, or someone's shoes.
DJ named after Derek Jeter, yes Yankee fans here has a new collar very sophisticated almost like a coach bag, but its his collar, very debonaire if I say so myself. The spring and summer is coming DJ's favorite time of year, means more outside time and playtime, even his baby pool.
Furry children are apart of our lives, they add joy and happiness all day and everyday, so take of your furry friends and furry children, because their love for you is un-conditional and loyal!
Have a magic filled Golden Day!

DJ is such a cutie. What a handsome fella he is. He looks so very healthy and extremely happy! He is so lucky you are his Mommy! My two guys send greetings to him. Jackson is my 1/2 husky, 1/2 German Shepherd and Thor is my full German Shepherd. Love my boys.
