When I got him in July, he was dirty, had a leg infection and no fur, claws for nails and didn't know how to BE a dog. And he had that biting thing....ya know, where he went after everyone.
Well, here he is now. I stopped trimming his fur to look like a Labrador, now that I know what a Golden is supposed to look like.

I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day, tomorrow doesn't look good either.

I love how he has the "Golden gait", now that his legs are stronger and he is proud to strut around with that tail held high and flowing in the breeze. I watch the Goldens at the dog shows and he is definitely "one of them"!
He gets along much better with Harleybird, too.
I guess you were all right in that it would take more than a week for him to fit in. We Virgos are a bit annoying with time frames.
