Maverick is Patiently Waiting to be Sprung!

 

Our 7 month old golden retriever Maverick has quite the personality.  Since he is still a pup, he doesn’t always have the run of the house.  Sometimes he is simply penned up.

 

Yesterday, as I was coming down the stairs, he just glared at me from behind the bars as if to say “Spring Me”.

One thing is for sure, Maverick keeps me laughing. 

 

He really is a good boy other than his obsession with chewing on furniture when I’m not looking.  So far I have had to throw out two bar stools and one end table.  There are other pieces that will need to be replaced, but I am waiting until he is done with this destructive behavior.  Hopefully it will be soon!

He looks so sweet! I hope he is through his "terrible twos" soon!

Hi Guys.  He is a sweet boy and quite energetic.  I buy lots of toys and chew things, but sometimes, furniture just taste better I guess.

Hi Belinda --- the guilty always try to look innocent in front of the judge --- but that cute face is pretty hard to resist.   Let him out on parole but only with a paw monitoring system.

Belinda Spillman Well you see; this is one of the many reasons why women like having dogs in the house; another reason to go shopping for new furniture!

Tom's son in Colorado has a Golden Retriever. Dublin's first year he chewed the baseboards in the entire house. They all had to be replaced. Consider yourself fortunate that he's chewing on pieces that can easily be put in the trash.

Belinda, oh, how I remember the "gate days"! Even bought a beautiful wood one from Orvis I think. We spent a year with our Golden, Kasa, who had serious diarrhea for her whole young life, that and throwing up and having to constantly go to the bathroom...so we had to keep her on hardwood flooring--gosh I used to get the same look! 

She ended up having emergency surgery last Thanksgiving (2013) and it turned out that she had some bizarre benign tumor that the vet had never seen before and how she's the got the run of the house! (And US)!

Belinda- I couldn't say no to that face!  My brittany chewed up two antique pistol grips, a hottub cover, and I could go on but we loved her.

What a cutie Maverick is Belinda Spillman!

My dog Frisco strikes that same cross foot pose when he's trying to work it in his favor too!
