Two weeks after my brother-in-law bought a pure-bred Golden Retriever, he found out his apartment changed their rules and pets are no longer allowed.

So now I'll be foster-parenting Kobe for the next eight months, until his current lease runs out and he can move to a more pet-friendly place. He's currently just over three months old, and those giant paws mean he's going to get huge.







Kobe seems very bright - he's already very good at sitting, he's working on staying, he is completely housebroken, and it took all of 24 hours for us to train him to ring a bell when he wants to go outside.

We'll see if we're ready to give him up in eight months...

How does he ring a bell? Does he put it in his mouth and shake his head?

Laminar: I think it would be a good prank on your brother-in-law to secretly change his name to "besson3c"

It would be kind of hard for Laminar to change his brother-in-law's name without him knowing about it....

As long as the dog doesn't inherit its namesake's incontinence.

Oh, I'm *excellent* with my bodily functions SpaceMonkey. My semen is wonderfully rich and I can hit targets when I shoot it out. My paint matter is rich and luxurious, and my urine usually doesn't smell bad at all. Vampires always want my blood, and my saliva is really good at breaking down food. I have full control over everything, you can take that to the bank.

Yippee Kayee mother****er!

We considered changing his name to Snicklefritz or Twinkle Toes.

Twinkle Toes would be an excellent name for a (soon to be) 80+ pound dog!
