We VISITED puppies.
Or, at least, that was the intention. Well no, the intention was to visit dogs. We'd been missing the feeling of petting and hugging a big, golden dog. Luckily we know a great breeder that was nice enough to tell us that we could come out and pet dogs to our hearts content...and that's what we did.
It was very satisfying to pet a bunch of happy dogs. They were so excited to see us but so well behaved that we never heard a bark the entire time we were there. Just a bunch of wriggling golden bodies with the occasional kiss.
And, of course, there were puppies although we didn't really get to play with them because they were too little. Golden retriever puppies have got to be one of the cutest things on Earth and you can't help but want to take one home.
So we went home and really thought about putting our name in for one of the upcoming litters. Really thought long and hard. It was oh so tempting.
But in the end we knew we weren't ready yet. The minute we admitted that to each other, we knew it was the right decision...for now.
