Vinnie (Nikko 10-251) [1]

August 28,2010

I have had Nikko for about a week; he came to us as a stray but he was for sure raised by some lucky family as he is very clam, well adjusted and affectionate. He is quite overweight; he needs to lose about 30#. He has a low thyroid and is on meds for that now so we will surely see the weight start to drop. He is getting walked every day with my other 2 goldens. He will put his paw on your leg when he wants to be petted; he is quite the sweetie. The vet says he could be anywhere from 8 to 12 years old. He has an ear infection & allergies we are treating and will need some dental work.

If you are looking to sponsor this sweet dog, it would be so appreciated. We hope to attend a Senior Golden event coming up on Sept. 12th.

What I know so far about him in addition to the above is that he loves all people, adult dogs of any size, loves to ride in the car, loves his walks, easy to give meds to, is housetrained, and gentle. He did give a warning growl to the neighbor lab puppy who was climbing all over him, but that was it. He seems to have an excellent temperament. More later...
