My one dog Kelley, seems bored. The three cats don't really interact with her. I have always wanted a Golden Retriever, and on Petfinder there is a 7 year old female Golden who was given up due to the owner's illness. She is already housebroken ( a good thing for me, since I'm not very good at housetraining!) My own dog is 8 years old, and still puppy playful, and lately she has been breaking out of the yard and wandering around. She was gone for two days recently, and finally returned after I called and called for her, hearing her barks in answer to me. I feel sure a neighbor had her in their yard thinking she was lost!
I fixed the gate she broke to get away, and I am feeling a "friend" might be good for both of them.
