Profile

Please welcome Jasiek to the RAGOM family. He is 6 months old and very adorable. I would guess him at 50lbs or so, and I think he is going to get pretty big. He is 100% Golden Retriever, light brown/reddish with the “block head” style look. He has the cutest expressions I’ve ever seen. He was given to RAGOM because his owners could not give him the one-on-one attention he deserved and their lifestyle was too busy for a puppy. We are happy to have him at our house, especially resident dog Winston (new playmate!). He met my dogs very well and appears to be one happy guy! He is up to date on shots and only needs his microchip and neutering, which will hopefully happen this week.

I took him for a short walk this morning and other than a little pulling at first, he did great. He is kennel trained, so I put him in the kennel when I left for work. He is potty trained and has had no accidents in my house. He is really goofy when he plays with his toys. He loves balls, bones, chewey’s and I heard he likes shoes and socks too. I already warned the teenagers to keep their shoes put away. He and Winston have been playing and so far seem to really enjoy each other. He also used to live with a cat, which he was fine with.

I will send another update as we get to know him and after his vet check up. I can guarantee we won’t have him very long in foster care---he’s a sweetie.

We adopted Ranger 07-237 in December of 07  - he was 17 months old.  He melted our hearts immediately and fit right into our family.  We love him very much and I do believe the feelings are mutual!  To tell you a bit about him since December of 07…He has attended 40 +  weeks of obedience school and earned his CGC (Canine Good Citizen) certificate and is currently working on hand signal commands.  He is very eager to please and we have taught him several tricks which he loves to do.  He speaks, spins, reverses, rolls over, takes a treat from your mouth without taking  your lips with him! and many more.  He is very active, loves his tennis balls, he can run like a deer and is very loyal.  He loves the boat in the summer and swimming at the lake is at the top of his list.  Ranger had hip dysplasia when he entered into the care of Ragom and had surgery on one hip.  He has had absolutely no issues since.  At the time we adopted Ranger, we also had a 9 year GR - Sam.  After several months, we realized Ranger needed a buddy that was just as active.  He was wearing poor Sam out!   So…………

We adopted Radar (formerly Jasiek 08-298) in July of 08.  Radar was 7 mos when we got him.  Once again, our hearts melted with this young boy and he too fit right in.  He followed Ranger everywhere - hence the name Radar (he always knows where his buddy is).  This boy also had hip dysplasia but showed no signs of discomfort and none since. Radar has also attended obedience school and earned his GCG (Canine Good Citizen) certificate in just a little over 8 weeks.  He too is working on hand signals and knows many tricks.  This young boy is SMART!  And PATIENT.  It's so much fun to watch him grow physically and to see how much he has matured.  He's not as fast as his brother when it comes to running at the dog park, but he continues to give it his best shot and is getting very close to catching him!. He is a very affectionate boy and loves his dad!  He will snuggle with you anytime he can - anywhere.  Many times he thinks he's a lap dog!  He's now as big if not bigger than his brother Ranger.

The two are almost inseparable.

R&R lost their big brother Sam in January of 09 to cancer, so thank goodness they have each other and we have them.  We feel very fortunate to have two such lovable, friendly, healthy good boys!  I would hope any potential adopters would not pass on any of the RAGOM dogs because of a few little medical issues that may or may not ever come up.  They give back so much to you!

A big YAHOO for Jasiek.  He's one lucky boy.  He is now officially adopted and having the time of his life.  Attached is a picture of him (on the left) and his new fur-brother Ranger.  And his new humans tell me he enjoyed cuddling in bed with them last night until he woke them both up with sloppy kisses at 4:30 in the morning.  He didn't learn that at my house, we're not up nearly that early.   Jasiek is such a super nice dog, he deserves the best, and he got it.  We love you Jasiek and are very happy for you.
