Meet “Bliss”, Redtail’s Guilty Pleasure. Our new baby girl. Bliss is the Great-Great-Great Grandpup of our first golden “Bo.”

This was her first week with us.

Here, Mary and I just picked up Bliss from the breeder Susan Liptak.

  Thanks Leonie, I hope she lives up to it to. Right now she seem to live up to something that rhymes with Bliss. House breaking is going slowly.

Oh, how precious! My Cody is a Golden Retriever/German Shepherd mix (SPCA adoption), but she’s no longer a puppy. Your photos and video almost make me want a second puppy (notice I said “almost”). Bliss is going to have a wonderful life in her new home.

    Cody was, too. But all of a sudden at 9 months, she decided to be a “big dog” and we’ve had few problems since then.
    
    Have fun with your new puppy!

Why do puppies have to look so innocent? And adorable! Good thing they do as there is a bundle of trouble lurking. Enjoy! I am sure the house training and the late nights will end soon enough. 🙂

  That’s so nice of you to say Gunilla. Our girl that we lost last year was Blitz, very close to Bliss. I wasn’t going to use that name, because they were so much alike. Since She passed we decide to use Bliss.
