Ginger is growing so fast, and here's another montage showing her at 8 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. And yes, Ginger, we'll love you even more when you're not a puppy!

Daisy loves to jump up onto the back of the couch and then watch us as we go about walking around the kitchen area. And one day little Ginger decided that looked pretty cool as well . . .

They grow so fast, these golden puppies. You bring them home, you blink and next thing you know, they're in the awkward gangling phase and then fully grown . . .

When the delicious sweet corn is ready on the farms in Illinois, what a wonderful time of the year it is. And it's not only us, but our pups sure do like a bite or two of the goodness. Daisy and Ginger take their turn at nibbling a little of the cob (but not too much).

Golden retrievers love their toys and treasures, and eventually they'll end up fetching and bringing what seems like the whole pile over to you . . .

Our golden retriever puppy Ginger found her way to a bed of flowers and couldn't decide between chewing them all or giving them a smell. Fortunately, she decided to just give them a sniff . . . this time!
