I work from home full time and have a very flexible work schedule which allows me to walk my golden retriever a few times a day and we frequent the dog park more often then not. My golden retriever is 1.5 years old and the nicest boy. There's never been a dog he didn't get along with. When it's warm enough out we like to go on lots of hikes and the lake to cool down and go for a swim. Goose is also great with cats, he has a sister (cat) named Tinkerbell. They have been together since day 1 and are the best of friends. She keeps him in line when needed. In the winter we try to get out a few times a week snowshoeing, crosscountry skiing, or going for a skin in the backcountry. I swear Goose is half dog half snow bunny.
