Meet my cooking sidekick
Meet Mr. Woofy, my 6yo Golden Retriever. He was my birthday present from my family on my 18th birthday, and by far the BEST present I ever received. I still remember the day I got him - he was the runt of the litter and nobody wanted him because he’d been born with an inverted lower lid (which was operated on before I got him, but has resulted in a saggy lower left eyelid ever since, which is a bit prone to infection). I picked up his tiny, fuzzy little butt and he nuzzled my neck with his black, wet little nose and I was in love.
6 years on he is still as big a sook as when he was a baby, spoilt rotten and the kindest, most loving and forgiving soul I have ever come across, as well as always being willing to sample my cooking, no matter how horrendous the outcome! He’s my little fur-kid, my Mr. Woofy 
Yes, my fur-kid is the world’s biggest sook
Sulking induces spasms from his cuteness overwhelmed mommy, usually resulting in treaties and cuddles for him.
This is Mr. Woofy’s first time as part of the Weekend Dog Blogging (WDB), as run by Sweetnicks. Head over to her site to see the round-up for WDB #33

I’m diggin Mr. Woofy.. the pictures of him make me want to give him big hugs and cuddles! I lurve Goldies and their sunny disposition! 
oh, he would love you for life for hugs and cuddles. You’d have to beware for him trying to climb onto your lap though…I don’t know if Chloe does this to you, but an almost 30kg dog lying on your guarantees dead-leg syndrome!
Why yes! Chloe thinks she is a toy poodle! Not only does she sit her considerably fat ass on my lap WHENEVER SHE WANTS but she also runs and jumps up into hubbs arms as if she weights 2 lbs. UGH. They sleep with me as well.. and let me just tell you, while one takes up the whole upper half of Hubbs’ side of the bed, the other takes up the whole bottom half of his side PLUS the bottom half of my side.. therefore I have been sleeping in the fetal position half on/half off my rather large bed for 2.5 months now. My back and legs are NOT happy campers. teee heee! 
LOL!! What I wouldn’t give to see Chloe performing the leaping into arms trick! Hehehe! Whatta baby 
Good grief, with that much doggage when you go to sleep, how’s hubbs going to manage when he gets back? Back to their sleeping cages perhaps? They won’t be happy about giving up the bed (o_O)
Hi Swee Thanks for the lovely compliment for Mr Woofy, but we must be careful about compliments for him as his head swells so much he can’t get out the back door!
teee heee! Yeah, hubbs and I have discussed this multiple times over the phone since he’s left.. he’s trying to psyche himself for the couch or guest bedroom as he doesn’t think he’s a match for 2 extremely selfish canines. lol
Although they still love their kennel (they go there while I’m at work) I suspect you are correct that they will NOT be loving it when they realize I’m not at work and in the big comfy bed without them. hehehee
We also talked about getting a California King-size bed. rofl Nothing like shelling out thousands of dollars for a truly un-needed bed just so the kids could be even more spoiled than they already are! And something tells me that no matter how huge we go.. they’ll still end up taking up most of it!
PS - yes the insanitytheory website is where I saw all the pics of Mr. Woofy.. and some of you, you total cutie pie!
LOL!!! Friends of mine have two labradors, and they had the same exact problem…till they purchased two single (kids size) mattresses and lay them on the floor in the bedroom! Took awhile to teach the kids that the small mattresses were for them, but it worked in the end. Of course, it helped that their bedroom was big enough to cause echos
And of course the kids still jump on the bed whenever it storms, hehehe!
Of course they’ll take most of the room - the more room there is, the more they can stretch I only have a single bed (yes, the same bed since I was 14 - I stopped growing around then, how shameful!) and it’s a bit disastrous when woofy sleeps with me. For example, last night he kicked me so hard in his sleep (crazy dog-dreams!)…that he actually kicked himself right off the bed. Yes folks - he fell off the bed. It would’ve been me, except I take the wall side, which is cunning planning on my part
roflmao! Chloe has done the same thing! I’ve heard that familiar “thump” in the night on numerous occassions.. she’s such a dainty flower. lol
I woke up this morning with Nigel laying across my throat. How the HELL he decided that was a comfortable place to sleep, I have no idea. I’m only assuming when his effort to wake me up (lots of nose nuzzlin and lickin of the face) didn’t work he just dropped and fell back asleep - to lazy to get the f*ck back off me. Yep.. there’s nothing like waking up out of a dead sleep with a mouth full of dog hair and the strange feeling that you’ve developed some huge goiter on your neck in your sleep.
These crazy big dogs! I know they *want* to be dainty, but they’re just all legs! Awwww Poor chloe! Bet she’s a trooper and just jumps straight back up though!
LOL!!! Okay, that is the best story ever. Mmmm, nigel neck-scarf…deluxe warmth on those cold nights
Dude! First, incredibly adoreable dog! I miss having a dog. Our cat, just isn’t cutting it for me anymore. Secondly, I love that you also use the word “sook.” I completely thought it was a Newfoundland/Atlantic Canadian saying. Hardly anyone on the mainland knows what I’m talking about when I use it. It still baffles my boyfriend after two years.
Hi Manda
You know, I thoroughly believe that a dog person will always be a dog person - don’t get me wrong, cats are superb creatures (I’m too terrified of them to say otherwise, hehehe;)), but they just can’t make you feel as squishy and loved as woofers. Plus, the cuddles! You can cuddle dogs to your hearts content and they just lap it up!
And you know what they say about Australia - we’re just like Canada, but warmer
aw he is a cutie pants!
