The colors this Autumn are quite vibrant, and since puppy ZuZu (golden retriever) has been learning the sit command we thought we'd try and get her to sit where some of the colors would be in the background.

ZuZu puppy was jumping up and down on a couch in an upstairs room on a sunny fall day, and when I grabbed the camera to attempt a couple of shots, she stopped and stared at me for a brief moment. Long enough to capture a couple of golden retriever puppy portraits.

This image is ZuZu posing with her sisters Daisy and Paczki. A little creative license was taken to make everything black and white except for the goldens . . .

ZuZu the golden retriever puppy found her way up the stairs, which evidently was the easy part. At the top she turned around looked like she was lost trying to figure out what to do next. So here she is in deep contemplation trying to figure out these darn stairs.

Once again ZuZu slid down onto the floor, but this time in the flying V formation, and took a power nap next to her sister Daisy. Sweet dreams Zuzu . . .

Being a new puppy with bursts of energy and a general good-fer-nuttin, she tires quickly and easily and drops for naps.

On the day we brought ZuZu home, her new sisters Daisy and Paczki were not quite sure what to make of this little munchkin walking and running around the yard, nipping at their heels. It was quite precious . . .

We welcome puppy ZuZu (golden retriever) as the newest member of the Trog's Dogs pack . . . play your heart out ZuZu, and try not to torture your sisters too much! #goldenretrieverpuppy
