Trapped inside a home attempting to jar the door open.
Trying to get fresh air and play fetch outside.
Fast, competitive, and strong on full display when performing the playful games.

Sunday afternoons spent on the couch watching football.
Sneaking food off of the table and getting into the garbage cans,
Still manage to put a smile on your face no matter how much of a mess they make.

Life full of naps, eating, and fetch outside.
They leave your face full of slobber and bad breath,
yet they will keep you happy for years to come.

This is the life of the golden retriever.
Always showing care and love,
With genuine desire to play and have fun.
