Abby (Golden Retriever)

Abby (aka Big Mama) is a 9 year old Golden Retriever. We got her 9 years ago

She's getting old now but she loves to swim and snuggle...and she's kind of a house marm so she likes to take care of the other pets by snuggling with them and grooming them! She is the sweetest thing and wouldn't hurt a flea (literally!) but is absolutely TERRIFIED of thunderstorms! She climbs up onto the couch and sticks her head in the cushions!

We have a 4 year old lab/retriever mix and he has a very similar smile. I've never had a dog that smiles like this. It's awesome! Thanks for sharing your picture.

Oh, I fell in love with your Abby! What a sweet face, love that expression. You can tell she is happy and smiling, and what an adorable doggie with cute ears too! Kiss and hug her for me.

Oh, what a pretty girl! Looks like she is smiling with her eyes closed, hamming it up for the camera!

PS. Kato is a 97# 11 yr old GSD and he's also terrified of thunderstorms. We give him a benadryl tab per instructions from our vet and it eases his anxiety during a storm.

OMG, that dog is soooo cute! Looks like spaniel ears on a retriever?

Abby is absolutely adorable. Love the krimping of her ears. Hope you enjoy her for at least another 9 years. All the best!

Oh my! What an adorable dog and picture. Love those permed ears! My Goldilocks is horrified of thunderstorms too. She gets behind the recliner and won't come out even when the storm has long past!
