Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

On my doorstep this morning.....
....and I'm not just saying that this time. Got home from work this morning, and as I pull in, I see this guy laying on my front steps. I get out of the car, and he meanders over, sits at my feet, and waits for me to scratch him. He has a collar but no tags....called or stopped by all of the neighbors, called the local vets and shelters....no one knows where he came from or seems to be missing him. A little skinny, but seems in good health overall. He's very well mannered, knows sit, down, kennel.....and loves to have his belly scratched. He tried to jump into the back of my truck and "go for a ride" when my son was leaving for school this morning.....I asked Josh if he recognized him and he said no, but something woke him up during the night last night, he thinks it may have been someone leaving the yard after dumping him off. The only Golden that I (or the vets) know about within a few miles of here only has 3 legs, so it's obviously not him, lol.
Gonna take him in to the vet's tomorrow and have him scanned for a microchip if he's still here....he's been right by the front steps all day, I finally took him out a big bowl of dinner about an hour ago, and he's sleeping peacefully on the lawn right next to the front door.

Well....he's still here.
I was going to kennel him overnight in the big outdoor kennel my Bloodhound used to use (it's 20' X 10' chain link run outside, then has a doggie door to a 8' X 8' chain link pen inside a building, with a doghouse and bed), but fell asleep on the couch about 6 pm. I got up awhile ago, and went to look out and see if he was still around....and there he is, sleeping right next to the steps still. I think I'm going to go out in a bit and kennel him anyway, it'd be a lot warmer for him, even though I'm pretty sure he isn't going to run off anytime soon.
My ol man ( known affectionately around here as Mr. NOWAYISTHATANIMALSTAYINGWEHAVETOOMANYALREADY) came in the house this afternoon, and says, "He IS an awful nice dog....".
My son came in and announced that he had fed him dinner.....I told him that I had already done so....he just said, "That's OK, he's skinny anyway, he needs more food." He's his mother's son, lol.
If someone isn't missing this dog.....well, I can't believe it.

Yeah, I've emailed the folks, it isn't him Brandi. I actually have gotten several emails as well, none of which match this guy. It kind of shocks me how many people have missing Golden Retrievers......or I guess one was some folks missing a yellow lab, didn't know the difference between a Golden Retriever and a yellow Labrador Retriever. I guess when your pooch is missing (uh, that's what I've been calling him, "Big Pooch")....perhaps they were hoping I didn't know what I was talking about. So sad.
But he is still here. I forgot they were having the big "exotic sale" on Saturday, I spent all day there (and the vets were there as well checking animals, so know they would be really busy) yesterday so am going to take him to have him checked for microchips on Monday.
Dammit, I'm getting attached to the big slobbering goober. I keep reminding myself that someone might be looking for him.....
