Teddy, our 11-month-old Adolescent Superhero

Teddy, my handsome little boy, is eleven months old now, and a rebellious adolescent. He likes to push his limits. But I am still in control. Right?? According to Surviving A Canine’s Adolescence  by Jacque Lynn Schultz, C.P.D.T., Companion Animal Programs Adviser. National Outreach, I’ll survive this period if I provide plenty of exercise, and hang on to my sense of humor. Teddy will outgrow adolescence!

Instant love!
The arrival home.

I remember the moment my family and I first laid eyes on Teddy. Laura Finco, my friend and the breeder/owner of Argus Golden Retrievers, carried in Teddy into the room to meet us, and we were immediately and utterly in love!

Cuteness overload!
"It is useless to resist!"

Even though Teddy was small and floppy, just like a toy Teddy bear, he was already honing his superpower skills. His plan for total domination was in full swing, and those sweet little innocent puppy eyes had everyone under his hypnotic control!

Mastering snorkeling and bubble blowing!
Apprentice training

I worried about Teddy the first few months because of the lack of stability. While repairs were occurring on our home in Tracy, we were moving between the Extended Stay America Hotel in Tracy and the home in Arnold. But Teddy’s happy disposition helped him to make friends everywhere, and each new friend seemed to provide growth and socialization. Teddy was learning how to handle new experiences, people, places, and things. He was a superhero!

Master Co-pilot
Teddy loves his new and bigger pool!

Teddy loved all of the road trips, and quickly assumed the co-pilot position. After such responsibility, even superheroes enjoy a dip in the pool.

"What are you doing? Is that for me?"
"Are you going to share?"

At 11 months, Teddy is in perpetual motion, and when not in superhero canine mode, he is a power chewing machine. I have learned that even after losing his baby teeth, he still needs to chew on something constantly. I’ve tried to intercept the inappropriate item/items he wants to chew on, but my success rate sucks!

The remote thief!
The Superhero protector!

This lovable happy little Golden Retriever puppy is in total control! Just yesterday, Teddy was a sweet little puppy in our arms, and today he is our fearless canine superhero.

    I definitely liked every bit of it and I

  52. Hey! I understand this is sort of off-topic but I needed to ask.
    Does operating a well-established website such as yours take a massive amount
    work? I am completely new to writing a blog but I do write in my journal on a daily basis.
    I’d like to start a blog so I can share my experience
    and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.
    Thankyou!

    1. I encourage you to explore the world of blogging! Managing and nurturing your website requires dedication, time, and a lot of work. It did not, in my case, require coding. I am using BlueHost and WordPress. Because I’ve received questions about blogging, I recently posted a blog titled “Answering your Questions.” You’ll find it under the “Thoughts” category tab.

  53. scoliosis
    I’ve been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website
    owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.

  55. Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!

  56. Superb site you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any discussion boards that cover the same topics discussed here? I’d really like to be a part of community where I can get feedback from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!

    1. I am sorry but I am not aware of any discussion boards focusing on adolescent dogs or Golden Retrievers in general. Thank you for the question.
