    Meet Russell

    Meet Russell. He is an English Cream Golden Retriever. My girlfriend's boss just moved into a new home with his new wife. The wife doesn't care much for Russell because basically she doesn't want to take care of it. They have kids from two separate marriages and the dog gets little attention. She pretty much leaves him in the backyard all of the time because she doesn't want the dog to mess up the house. Therefore, my girlfriend offered to take care of him. We kept him all weekend and he is so sweet. We will be taking care of him for the next two months. Chopper and Russell fell in love instantly. They play together wonderfully. I have a sneaky suspicion Russell will never leave our home. Hopefully, everything works out and we can keep him.

    A sad story with a happy ending. Russell is a handsome boy. Here's hoping everything works out for you to keep him & Chopper together.
    I have a sneaky suspicion this is how our next dog will find us.

    Look at those two sweet faces! From what you described I also would guess they might be making trouble together for a lot longer than 2 months.

    Russell deserves a loving home and family. Hopefully his "other" family will do what's best for him and it will work out for you as well!

    I really hope Russell becomes a permanent member of your family! I would not be able to send him back to such a sad situation either. Those 2 boys will just love having each other and thinking of their fun makes me laugh!

    What a handsome boy! I do hope it all works out. At the very least, maybe he can become a permanent visitor.

    Yep...I think Russell knows that he belongs with you. "Your" two make a good pair.
