Boys and Dogs

Our neighbors got a new golden retriever puppy this summer, and it has proved to be a major source of entertainment around here. Although Midas is now a young teenage dog, he still has plenty of energy and is showered with love at every opportunity. If a kidlet sees Midas outside, they zip over for a few puppy snuggles, and of course throw a stick or ball for him to retrieve.

Mr. TOF and I were in the front yard the other day and Midas saw us out the window. He tricked our neighbor into letting him out to go to the bathroom, but in fact he didn’t need to go to the bathroom at all. He just made a beeline over to our yard to visit his favorite boy! Smart dog!
