Sasha is a 3 yr old golden retriever, 63 pounds, with a lovely personality. Went to the Vet's the same day she came to my home and she was very well behaved, she greeted everyone with tail wagging.

The wellness check went good - the only thing is she has tapeworm so she is on medication to get that cleared up.

Sasha has been good with everyone she meets from adults to kids. I introduced her to my dogs and cat with no issues.

Learning to share the toys.

A puppy came to visit for a couple of days and they had allot of fun playing. She does like to get all the attention, she pushes her way in between you and another pet. Also likes to take all the toys. She is learning fast you have to share and is showing no aggression, sometimes she lets out a playful grunt - a real character. She likes to steal shoes but she does not destroy them she just walks around with it in her mouth it is pretty cute.

We have spent allot of time in the fenced yard, she can hear people talking and kids playing but she is not a big barker she just listens.

She eats two meals a day. The first day she came Sasha got on her hind legs when I was getting the food ready and stole some out of the dish. That is the only time I caught her counter surfing. I was just surprised she felt at home that fast.

• She sleeps in my room at night on a doggie pillow.
• Sasha is crate trained.
• House trained.
• Good on a leash.
• Likes car rides.
• I tested her with dog gates and she wants to jump them.
• I have had her loose in the house and she has been fine, no chewing on things other than her dog toys but I will try it this week for longer periods to see how she does.
• Also sounds like we might get a storm so I will let you know she handles that.

Check back on her updates - she is a wonderful dog.
