A bad day at the dog house!

I have not been blogging for a few days. I am in mourning. They covered the swimming pool for the winter. Where once there was joy and fun, now there is only a large black canvass cover. Life as we know it is over. No more splashes before breakfast. No more running inside wet and shaking the water off in the living room. No more getting yelled at and being locked outside when I am wet. The humans told me they would open up the pool again when spring comes. How long does winter last? I mean how long in dog years?

The human did not think it was funny, when he cleaned out the pool filter he dug out a large matt of dog hair that look like one of the carpets you clean your feet on at the door. He could knit a new retriever from all the hair if he had saved it.

My three cousins went back home, not only did I lose my swimming pool, but I lost my playmates as well. Life has been very boring, Bella and I went to the pet store and swiped some treats off of the counter, but it is just not the same as it is when five of us are playing.

I had my portrait taken today. I also practiced giving product endorsements. If anyone would like to pay me to chew up their product, I am ready.

My human has a birthday, he has asked people to make a donation to their favorite rescue organization instead of buying him stuff he does not need. The links on the left of the blog will take you to Golden Retriever rescue, or All Breeds Rescue, where you can find a rescue for any breed of dog or cat. They take credit cards on line. In these days of tight finances, dogs are always the first ones that are thrown out on the streets.

Do you like my new portrait?
