heres my 8 year old Golden Retriever Billy. He's in his 'going out in the rain' coat as he demands a walk (very vocally) at 8am and around 4:30pm, he doesn't care if its a short one to the park, as long as he can sniff some trees and do some peepin and poopin he's happy.
He sleeps wherever he see's fit and comfortable,usually the end of someones bed or his own bed (rarely tho).
He really is a good dog in every sense of the word, knows most of the basic commands and will not walk across a road until u tell him to.
