Norman's Busy May

May has been another exciting month for little Norman... who is not so little anymore. While we were in Ireland, Norm went to "camp" back at the breeder where he was born. He came back exhausted from playing with other Goldens non-stop for 12 days, and seemed to have no trouble getting back to his normal routine at home. In addition to his BFF Cooper, Norman has made lots of other friends in the neighborhood. Most notable is his first girlfriend, Maggie the Irish Terrier! I'll try to get a picture of them together soon, but they absolutley love each other (she's quite the tease, chasing him everywhere and wearing him out... classic female tactic, no?) All in all, our little guy is growing fast and getting sweeter each day!

His favorite things this month= chasing his own tail, swimming, jumping up on our bed, and chewing Melisss'a slippers (which are holding up well... those are some well made slippers!)


"My mom and dad went to Ireland, and all I got was this stuffed sheep. But I really like it! "


Norman got a new bed for his crate that he seems to like (despite this pathetic little face in the picture).


He also got a cute new collar with Golden Retreivers on it that you can kinda see in this pic. There he is going after Melissa's indestructible slippers.


He loves to sit at the glass door and look out, so this is what people usually see when they walk by our house.


Sometimes he and his best friend Cooper sit there together. Lots of people stop and point when they see both of them like this. They are truly best buds.


He finally stood still and let me take his picture sitting down. Check out how big he's gotten! He weighed 52 lbs. when he went to the vet in mid-May.


Such a handsome little profile!


His latest move is climbing in the driver's seat when he goes in the car.


Norm loves his daddy!
