Dakota is always smooshing cousin Dude! Dude doesn't seem to appreciate it. Must be a retriever thing...

You're a great smoosher...they also like it when you can curl your tongue like a tube and stick it in their ear. You're so lucky to live in Portland! Have you been to the Lucky Labrador? That place was pawsome!

I just cant get over how much we have in common Chuckles. Theres nothing as effective as a nice wet doggie sneeze in the face at point blank range is there :-)

and you bet nothing like a good sneeze in the face or a burp too.

Hello Charlie

I think smooching is something us Gundogs just do naturally, especially us boys.

Love from your friend, Hammer

Charlie -

Somehow I missed this post. I laughed out loud when I read about the close quarters sneeze. Our golden Lucy used to do that all the time and I could never figure out why.

Dory and I really like your blogs and your videos alway give us a chuckle too. Good blogging!
