Little Ben

      A friend on a forum I frequent suggested I name my new Golden Retriever Ben, and I think that fits him pretty good.  Kat said she would like to see some more pictures of Ben, so I took some more today. 
      The first thing I attempted to do was take some pictures of Ben with a roll of toilet paper, the idea was to emulate the Charmin commercial with the Golden puppy.  Well, let me tell you, that is easier said than done.  I set Ben on a blanket with a roll of TP and started snapping pictures.  That little booger went off on the Charmin and tore it to shreds!  I took over 25 pictures, but he was moving around so fast most of them came out blurry. LOL.  Up until then I could have used his picture as a definition of "Laid Back."
      So then I took him outside.  He ran through the grass, jumped over landscape timbers, tried to dig up an ants nest under a stump, "attacked" Cody's tail (my German Shepherd), and chewed up some flowers.  He did all this in about 30 seconds.  Then he did it all again!  I got a few good pictures of him during this time of which I put a couple below.
      Ben is plumb tuckered out after all that play, and he is laying between my feet which he has been doing since I brought him home.  I like the little feller.  :)

That sure is a cute little fellow you have there. From the first picture you posted, little did I think he would be that inquisitive. Gentle Ben, I like that. Dee

Thanks Dee! I am happy to see you checked out my blog. Yeah, I was wondering if he was going to have a typical puppy personality myself. But he is beginning to show his rambunctious side now. I get a kick out of watching him assault the grass. :)
