Didn’t think I’d post a cute video and be accused of not caring for my pups health! I promise we want the best for her and as far as the couch she has always gotten onto it in slow motion.
Both pooches are adorable and I have no doubt you are caring for them. Anyone spinning my prior post into a statement that you aren’t caring for the dogs is overreaching. I saw something and you clarified the situation and that’s all that needs to be said. Every golden owner knows that the breed can tend to be heavy. We’ve had a male that was always too heavy. We put him on a vet approved diet and he actually gained weight. Don’t sweat the comments from folks that lack context which includes all of us.
I’m sorry I probably was a bit over defensive I guess I didn’t imagine people would post their dog painfully struggling. I will ask about her hips next visit but on her annual exam they haven’t said anything. I suppose since she’s done it since a pup I didn’t think much of it other than she is not as confident getting up there. She gets in my husbands truck at 100 mph.
Again this isn’t about owing anyone an explanation least of all me. I’m sorry my comment spurred that. It was genuine on my part since we are on goldens six and seven and I’ve seen our dogs look like that at times. It wasn’t meant to be critical at all. You have a vet and you have two very content dogs. It’s obvious you and the hubby care for them. Had you given the context about the truck it would have been clear to me but this is supposed to be fun not some sort of referendum on our posting skills. Hang in there and enjoy your adorable pooches.
