Dakota is now 1! He celebrated his 1st birthday on January 9! We got passed the eating poop stage, getting up at 2am and 4am stage, peeing in the house stage and puppy biting stage. However, he still likes to get socks, my underwear, shoes, tissues, dryer sheets, pantyhose and probably 9 million other things I missed. He's still a handful but has gotten much better. We are working on getting out of the crate while we are gone. Baby steps! Since he likes to chew so much, I'm really afraid that I'll come home to chewed kitchen cabinets and couches so we are gradually weaning him from his crate.
Just wanted to let everyone know that I made it this far with him and never thought I would. After having another golden for 14 years and then getting a puppy it was really tough! You forget what it's like and boy did we ever. It was like having another baby.
Here's another of him too:

Here is what he used to look like:

He's cute and handsome alright but ohhhhhhh so much work as a puppy! I know what you mean though, Golden's are the best. He's my third one! They are very hyper though and usually don't calm down until they are much older but they really are so loving and wonderful with kids. If I hadn't gotten him I seriously would have looked into a Golden Doodle. They are adorable and their temperment is much calmer. If you are thinking of getting a dog, look into that breed.

Aw, what a cutie pie!!  I am glad to hear that things are going a bit better. Have you heard of bitter apple spray? You can get it at most pet stores, its a spray bottle of bitter apple tasting stuff that the dogs hate. If you spray it on something, they will not chew it!
I was having a heck of a time getting Oliver to stop pulling out Harley's ponytail. He ate 4 bungee rubber bands the other day! I sprayed some of this stuff on his pony tail holder and Oliver won't even get close to it now!!

I know I have a special place in my heart for Golden's. I keep going back to them. I say I'm gonna try another breed and I end up with a Golden!!!
