Meet Ollie

So when we were in Washington we went to thefamous 'canal' which is a tradition of Joel's Mom's side of the family. It's awesome, almost all of the family (aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents) get together and with their numerous golden retrievers to sit by the water and have fun, talking, laughing and eating together. Each couple seems to have at least one golden retriever if not more, so there ends up being around (but not limiting to) 10 at any given time. These dogs are awesome, they are hiper and so excited to see eachother... it's like watching little kids, jumping up and down and barking rapidly whenever a new dog arrives.
By the end of the day the dogs start getting a little less 'excited' and a little more 'relaxed', one of Joel's aunts had taken them to the water and played fetch with them for at least an hour, she would throw the 'stick' out in the water and the dogs would hurridly jump in and swim to catch it, bring it back and wait until she threw 'their' stick back out in the water again. It was funny to watch.
This is Ollie though- he's quite the dog, and his children have actually been seen in movies. Yep. He's the pappa of Airbud 3's puppies. Cool huh?

Here's another shot of Ollie- (he's kinda pooped.)


Well I have rambled enough at the moment... many more posts and pictures to come
God is GOOD
