I'm a bit behind! I've been holidaying on the Gold Coast this past week so I'll have to cheat a little because I didn't have Jess with me to get a photo for week 6... And now it's week 7 already, woah! Stunning photos from everyone! Lots of dog photos this past week

I've used City Dogs a couple times and I'm down South. http://citydogs.com.au/

He makes such a cute little fish! Love this photo :)

I can't choose this week Which do you guy prefer? 5/52 Weeks of Jess Plenty more on my flickr- I took lots of photos over the past week!

Lovely! Congrats!

Doesn't sound like a "normal procedure" to me. Very dodgey. Not sure why you went along with it and purchased the puppy? Were the litters on ground all different breeds?

Nice focus! Love the little teeth poking out! :laugh:

Thank you! She's quite used to having a camera shoved in her face :laugh: She will also do anything for cheese!

Lovely table (and dog :p )! Exciting stuff - best of luck with the business!

Very nice, huga! Your photos are always gorgeous! :) love those bubbles!

:laugh: So cool! Makes me want a GoPro!

He looks like a giant here. I can't un-see him as a giant now :laugh: awesome photo!

Love it, Terri! Very squishy indeed! :D That expression, Grumpette! :laugh: Jess does the same with yoghurt containers - who knew it was such fun! 4/52 Weeks of Jess Baker Jess! To celebrate my last week working full time at Bakers Delight. Excited and nervous to be moving onto another journey of bigger and better things :)

Well done to all involved! Congrats! :)

3/52 Weeks of Jess

Bailey is always smiling :)

I got the Olympus TG-850 for Christmas - not brave enough to put it straight underwater yet this is as close as I've gotten :laugh: .. Might give it a better go this weekend!

"My" first dog was a Golden Retriever. They are lovely dogs, apart from being absolutely gorgeous they are smart (but also a bit dopey :laugh:), super friendly with everyone, active and playful without needing hours and hours of exercise and great family dogs. They really thrive on attention and company... Because everyone in my house works/is in school full time, the dogs are home alone for a lot of time during the day, if Bailey was an only dog I think he would struggle a lot but he has the company of my Border Collie which keeps him happy. As for the walking on a leash, I got my Golden when I was 11 and was able to walk him - whilst the can be strong, mine has always been controllable on lead and walks without any pulling. Though it really does come down the training. The only real health issues I've had with my boy is he has sensitive skin and gets hot spots at least a couple times a year. They also put weight on really easily so you have to be careful with their diet. My experience with their coat is it doesn't take a huge amount of grooming to keep it free of tangles and matts but if you want it looking really nice and free of dead hair (to minimise shedding), you'll have to groom them quite regulary - pretty much every day. Not sure about other Goldens but mine is an absolute sook and cries until he gets what he wants, usually food. He also drools quite a bit (heaps when food is in sight). Food is basically his life. In short - they are great dogs, I'd reccomended them for first time dog owners providing you can put up with dog hair everywhere, are prepared for regular walks and don't mind your life revolving around a fluffy golden creature. :p Awww, Bailey sounds like an absolute sweetheart! Thanks for the info though! So, your dogs are at home alone until around 4 in the afternoon? And when did you start training him not to pull on the lead? And, how did you train him on the lead? Yep, on weekdays they're home alone until around 4 - it's not an ideal situation but they cope. Training started asap. I'd reccomended joining a obedience club of some sort as it's not only helpful for the training of your dog, but a great socialisation opportunity for puppies which is important. :)
