Jerry - Friend to Everyone

I’m Jerry, the baby.  I’m three.  I’m the youngest dog in the house. 

My dad rescued me from the animal shelter in Murphreesboro, Tennessee.  He read about me in Petfinders.com. 

I am a red Golden Retriever.  I ended up at the shelter because I was the product of a divorce.  My first dad spoke Spanish and my first mom spoke English.  So I am bilingual.  I love it here in Hickory Flat, Georgia. 

I love toys.  I carry a “baby” nearly everywhere I go.  I help my mom with the laundry by picking up dirty clothes.  I often try to wash them with my tongue, but they smell and taste so darn good that next thing you know, WHOOP, they’re in my tummy.  It surprises me too. 

I also like to eat the fringe off my mom’s oriental rug in the foyer…(don’t tell her).  Oh yeah, I also like to swim in the pool….even in the winter.  My mom thinks I’ll catch a cold. 

My best friend is QD.  We play tug of war with pantyhose, dirty clothes and rope.  I especially love to decorate the house with the stuffing from my mom’s oven mitts when they have a little bit of muffin-cake batter or sugar on them.  She now buys those dumb rubber kind.  They’re no fun.
