Harper - Ina/Silas 2014

Hi Rhonda,

Mr. Brown and I went to the vet today here in Cedar Rapids - the same vet I used for my other Golden (for most of his life).  Anyway, it was great - they said he is very solid, good knees, no heart murmur and the stool sample was negative.   He slept through the whole thing and they just loved him to pieces. He even slept through the checkout process - lol!!  They said he was probably the calmest pup they'd ever seen and soooooo handsome.

Couldn't resist sharing the pics!  He's too funny.

Best,
Sara

AND NOW. . . . a NAME for Mr. Brown! . . . . .  

Hi Rhonda,

Mr. Brown has a name - finally!  It's Harper.  Named after my favorite musician, Ben Harper, and really the only name that seemed to fit him from my short list.

We've been in Chicago for a few days now and he's doing so well.  I live just north of the city and near the lake...we took our first walk on the beach last night.  He did well - explored the feeling of the sand and sat for a minute and couldn't figure out the waves ;). He was on his leash and just took in the whole thing.

Most of the time, he's pretty calm, but he does love to bring me my shoes over and over, and just about anything he can drag around.  Still the sweetest boy and everyone we meet wants to take him home!!

Hope you are enjoying a somewhat calmer week now that most of the pups are gone.  Take good care! Thank you as always....I was thinking the other night....is it too early to ask to be on the list for Ina's 2015 litter??!! LOL!!

Best,
Sara
