farmgirl, that is one adorable puppy!

jenn, i'm glad that turbo is recovering from his little "adventure" ok.

spazz-dog aka dakotah aka koda is becoming slightly less spazz-ish. i've been trying to spend a little more time with him, i take him in the car now and then and stuff. but i cannot take that dog for a walk on a leash. he pulls so damn hard i'm afraid he's choking himself, not to mention my arms aren't strong enough to fight with nearly 60 pounds of dog for long!!

he took off the other day when my sister left the back gate open just a few seconds too long... that was fun. had to go chase the pooch through 5 different yards before we caught up to him.

lookie the first pic, "kimara", looks almost exactly like my dakotah (since i'm a dork and can't seem to figure out how to post pics off my phone!) the only difference is that his ears flop over a bit at the tips.

clover... too too too sweet!

There's a brush a friend uses on her retrievers (which have longer hair than your baby) - I've seen one called "rake" which is similar looking & does things to the undercoat, and there's another called "slicker". The slicker thing is lovely.
