Bill

Bill (aka “Wild Bill,” “Billiam,” and “Billsbury Dough Boy”) weighs in at 38 lbs and stands 17” tall to his shoulder when he’s not jumping around from his sheer love of life. From the moment we saw his picture in May of 2018, we knew this Golden Retriever/Cocker Spaniel mix had to become part of our family. We rescued him from Houston, where he was unfortunately in line for euthanasia, and he’s been making up for lost time ever since.

When Bill is not racing around the house looking for balls to play with, he can be found strutting his golden locks all over Austin on his morning walks. In a recent (and highly exclusive) interview,  Bill states “the Greenbelt, Barton Springs, and of course the food trucks are just a few of my favorite things in Austin.” He’s also something of a jetsetter, traveling everywhere from the mountains to the beach and anywhere in between.

These days, Bill’s biggest challenge isn’t cardio, it’s patience. With a very mobile toddler in the house, he’s learning the fine art of tolerance as our daughter lovingly (and persistently) “checks on him” during his naps. He is taking it all in stride.
