124 | Birmy: Denver's Newest Goldendoodle

When the girlfriend arrived back in Denver after a nine-month exodus to the great state of Alabama, I of course was extremely elated. But when she brought back this guy, I nearly lost it:





His name is Birmy, and he's my new best friend - a best friend that I actually don't mind waking up at 6am every morning just so he can proudly mark his territory. While growing up, I had the pleasure of being around three and a half golden retrievers (I say "half" because one of them wasn't all there ... nor did he ever get there), but Birmy is a golden retriever-poodle mix (goldendoodle if you will) so this is all new to me. For now, he's more golden than poodle and hopefully that remains as he grows older. As far as personality goes, Birmy has a wonderful way of innocently behaving while being mischievous all at the same time. Perhaps that is expected of puppies, but like most new dog owners, I like to think mine is different.
