Zoey 05-415 [1]

12/6/05: This is Zoey, a wonderful, lively 11 month old. Zoey was given up by her previous family simply because she is a big, active puppy. We picked her up on 12/02/2005 and took a 90 mile car ride home. Zoey didn't present any problems at all, enjoying the car ride and bonding with whomever was in the seat next to her. She is very friendly, loves being petted and occasionally expresses her appreciation with many, rapid kisses!

When we got her home our plan to introduce her to our Goldens rapidly fell apart. With all the excitement, the strategically placed compression-fit gate between the dogs hit the floor. I have no idea which of the three dogs was responsible, but all three introduced themselves in normal dog manner (lots of end-to-end sniffing) and proceeded from there. Sharing food, treats, toys, humans, etc., doesn't seem to be a problem. Zoey has not shown any aggression at all. Everyone seems to be enjoying the new arrangement. She and our cat have met and, after a brief moment of contention, now get along fine.

Zoey is up-to-date with shots and is spayed. She was examined by her new vet today and pronounced healthy, friendly, and beautiful -- no problems were detected at all. At 71 lbs. she is larger than our other Goldens and has an elongated body, large head and feet. Her coat is very light and she is quite tall.

Zoey is crate trained, house trained, and follows simple commands like sit, stay, etc. She rarely barks, and although here previous owner said she counter surfed, we have not seen that -- although there were many opportunities. While we have not seen her with children, we are not aware of any problems. Because of here size and enthusiasm I don't think she should be placed with small children though.

This beautiful young lady deserves a forever home with lots of room for exercise and active involvement with her humans.
