This is how living with my gorgeous golden retriever can be.

My oldest, Thing 1, would like me to make mention of the thematic irony of the photo: the lighter side of the image is the truth, the darker side is the guilt. Do you see him hiding behind the chair? He did not want to stop.

Funny, that 83-pound ball of fur. We do love him so.

Happy weekend!

Thank you.
