About Us
Gabe, the Dog of the Day
Name: Gabe
Age: Eleven months old
Gender: Male Breed: Golden Retriever
Home: Colorado, USA
 
   This is Gabe, our eleven-month-old Golden Retriever. Gabe was born and lives in Colorado and is very much a Colorado dog. He has been on numerous hikes, and likes to swim in ponds and creeks with other dogs. He is special for so many reasons! He is incredibly affectionate and loving, and so happy to see us when we come home. His tail wags so hard his whole body wiggles. He loves to chew on toys, sticks, books, our ears -- you name it.

    Far from being a good watch dog, Gabe runs to the fence with tail wagging whenever anyone walks by our yard. He's a very smart puppy, and tilts his head inquisitively whenever he's asked a question that begins with "Do you...": "Do you want to go for a walk?" "Do you like enchiladas?" "Do you agree with Einstein's Theory of Relativity?"

    His other signature mannerism is the Gabe Nudge. He nudges things with his nose (like our fireplace tools) to investigate how they will react, and he nudges us to demand our attention. A power nudge from Gabe means it's time to play now. Gabe is the number one attraction at our house, and we have a website that can really only be referred to as Gabe's Site because of all the Gabe pictures we have there.
