Tuesday: After having to give up puppies for years due to renting.. I decided years ago I wouldn't get another dog till I bought my own house.. and I always said it would be a golden retriever .. I was given Iggy on New Years Day in 2006.. I have had her in my life for 3 years.. and I am so glad someone opened my eyes up to the smaller breed dog.. (Not as messy, and doesn't tear up the back yard) She also misses me when I am gone and greets me when I first get home.. it's awesome..
