Thank you for all the great remarks, I am sooo excited. If he is half as great as the last two goldens I have had, he will be an awesome companion.
As for size, I only have 2 to choose from and will be going for the one that takes to me. I will be visiting them every week as this is a good friend now. She has been one of my students in my quilt class that went on for a few months and is due with a baby in May herself so she will have her hands full.
As for a quilty name, already thought of Patches but df turned it down because all one color and Stitch was my cat and had a great black lab named bandit. So have decided it is down to Cody or if turns out to be a darker color then it will be Rusty. Either way I will be happy to have him. Thanks again for all the comments and will post again in a couple of weeks.
