Description
Taken with a professional Canon camera that can be rented out of our school.This is my golden retriever Bonnie. She's eight years old and will be nine in November. She enjoys marshmallows, whipped cream, her couch, belly rubs,hamsters, spending long hours outside and everyone who walks in her eyesight. She is scared of feather dusters, little white poofy dogs, vacuums, hoses, and of not going on trips.
I love her to death! She can be sort of a spaz but most of the time she's pretty laid back. She thinks she's a tough cookie and can be a bit bossy. She hits you with her paws when you stop petting her.

What a pretty dog! 
We have two Goldens right next door.. But they are kept INSIDE ALL DAY. IN CAGES... Because their owners think that they might get 'dog napped'... No joke. It is ridiculously funny.... They will get them the good dog food, for active dogs. Those things will go nuts. And get this, they won't let the dogs off leash in their fenced in yard! He walks them on a LEASH in his fenced in yard! And also, he just got like a six foot fence up around him.. It is soo sad...

It really is. So stupid and ridiculous. They got like a eight foot wooden fence. What is the person gonna do? Jump over the fence, grab the frickin dog, lug it over the fence, and run away with the dog. lol And, their not even like a super high class show dog either! Their pure bred, but I mean, their are several dogs in the neighborhood that are purebred AKC. Worth 'much more to people' (honestly, I don't think that is right. All dogs are awesome. In all dogs, their is other dog in them. No dog on the planet can be a pure bred. All dogs are equal to me anyways.) why would they go for two really highper dogs? Its super sad. The idiot pet owners (we call the Mr. Nick and Mrs. Sandy) say they 'love their dogs' but really? That's stupid. If they really did love their dogs, they would understand fully that they arrived from wolves, and wolves would have miles of territory that they live in, and guess what? Keeping them locked up in cages in their basement ain't enough for them. They don't take them for walks, or whatsoever any exercise then going pee or crap. You can see it affects the dogs too, they seem mentally unstable, (I know that sounds funny lol) and whenever they get out, they kinda move their hips funny, and their three and five year old dogs, that are getting white around their muzzles! The last two dogs he had, they only lived till six, and seven. He claims that 'he can't control the dogs' and literally just because they pull a little, they don't go for walks. If that man would only give me the leash for once, I bet I could train those dogs to walk very good. But the dogs also don't get fed treats. They get fed dog food. That's their diet. Just dog food. So they would go nuts if their dogs were trained by treats. And honestly, I have trained a couple of dogs how to jump over polls, walk on a leash right, and a number of tricks. Using quite a lot of treats. And none of them are plump or unhealthy.
And you work at an animal shelter! I am soooo gonna work at an animal shelter when I am fifteen!!!! I am going to be a veterinarian, so I need to work around animals a lot to earn credits for collage. Tell me, what do you do at the animal shelter? Do you like clean the cages and whatever they have their, feed the animals and do what? I wanna know! It sounds like heaven!
And Ima drive to Canada so I can touch da whittle doggy!! (I call all dogs puppies. No matter how old they are. XD)

Well I don't "work" there now, I volunteer there but I'm pretty sure I've got a job there for the summer so then I will be working there.
What do I do? Lots of stuff, I take lotsa dogs for walks, usually two a day each for half an hour. Gives me lots of exercise! Yeah, I clean cages, make sure their beds are made and they've got fresh water. And I have to play with the cats so they can be sociable, which isn't always a basket of roses. I've gotten scratched on the face before. OW.
When the job comes along this summer, I'll be doing more important things if I get it. I'll be giving them shots and vaccines, microchipping them, overseeing adoptions, stuff like that. But I'll still be able to walk dogs and play with the kitties.

Oh. Lol, I have animal shelter like five minutes away from my house. I could pry even walk there, or ride my bike. It would be awesome to volunteer/work.
And ouch. I have a bunch of feral cats around my house. Sadly, I like playing with them. I've gotten chased by them all the time. Their like the boss of the neighborhoods. Literally. Their also quite a few stray dogs around my house, and they are all scratched up and really really beat up basically. I've seen several cats against like five dogs. The cats always win. Always. I've never seen the cats lose. However, I've seen dogs with little kittens, eating them 
Shots and vaccines would be awesome!

Dude those cats are bad ass!

They really are. Every once in a while, (not to be psycho or anything) we might see a doggy that got hit....
The cats, they are mostly tuxedo's, tabby's, silver tabby's, Tortoiseshell, and (like our cat) Tabby white's! The mass majority are tabby and silver tabby's. People try to catch the Tortoiseshell cats a lot, so they can breed them. Instead, they beat the humans up. XD They scratch and bite. They have even mastered the skill to avoid getting trapped in those animal traps. XD And I swear, I've seen them finish the cat food in the trap and then set it off with there back foot. I swear!!!
Although, aside from being feral, they are pretty nice cats. I hand feed them at our local park (it is literally five minutes from my house) a lot. I'll just give them a few treats though. I even taught Rusty (a Tortoiseshell) to give me his paw. Funny, he is still a little 'rusty' on it though.

She still acts like a puppy though!

yes, which is good. one is only as old as they feel. so if bonnie feels like a puppy, she must be pretty young.

She looks like my old golden retriever! Gawd, I miss that bugger so much! He was similar in manner and personality, and goldens are such great dogs forboth families and self proclaimed loners lol Beautiful picture and beautiful dog- I love her already!

My dad's one used to shake hands with you, and when you stopped he'd keep putting his paw up on yours. Smartest dogs on the effing planet

I taught my dog to high five...which is essentially just smacking her paw into your palm. But it's so cute because you go "give me five!" and she keeps slapping your hand relentlessly.

I have no idea why, but I'm having a hard time picking a pose with you reading the book. Are you both reading the book or just you?
