No doubt... And Goldens (and Labs) are the best at it...

Speaking of science, there is actually a reason why those two breeds may have "hyper-developed" the behaviors that have us opening the refrigerator to them (moderation, folks)... Both breeds have a gene that leads to a near-insatiable appetite, which, unfortunately, likewise predisposes them to obesity, so we have to be the "bad guys" sometimes. Those eyes, though...

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
