Melia, the Dog of the Day
Name: Melia
Age: Four months old
Gender: Female Breed: Golden Retriever
Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada
 
   This is Melia! Her name is the Hawaiian word for the Plumeria flower. She was named while we vacationed in Maui waiting for her to be born. We anxiously waited her arrival and the long eight weeks before we got to bring her home. She is now four months old and we can't imagine life without her. We drove 1,400 miles there and back to pick her up, and it was totally worth it. As you can see she is irresistible. We have not been on a walk yet without someone stopping to greet her and Melia would never dispute this.

    She is a very smart girl and is learning quickly. She already retrieves and started swimming within minutes of being at the waters edge, a natural retriever for sure. Something is in her mouth at all times, whether it is a toy, or something she shouldn't have, she just feels happier with a present to give!! Melia has a very exuberant puppy personality and this keeps us active at all times. Her favorite buddy is her cat brother Griffin. She knows to be careful around him as he is a senior, but sometimes can't resist chasing him. We know he likes her too as we find him sitting outside her crate watching her at night. We are looking forward to many years with Melia and are excited for all the adventures ahead.
