This is a British blue shorthair. Had one of these when I was younger. One of my favorite cat breeds, I love their yellow tinged eyes and the their thick dense coats.
I think it really depends on the breed of dog. I think for many dogs it's somewhere between 18-months and 2 years old when they fill out their bone structure completely.
Someone else might be able to get more specific with regards to your golden retriever.
Don't forget to discipline them with a firm "NO" everytime they start biting anything like that. That's the most obvious thing. The sprays are quite effective from what I've heard. As Suzie said though it's natural for them to chew things, and you have to accept there's going to be some damaging incidents until they are fully matured and trained.
Must be a bummer being a uni student in the states if you can't drink until you reach 21. We have a legal drinking age of 18 here in Australia, but some are putting forth the idea of raising it to 21 to curb binge drinking.
I hardly think this is going to change anything, given so many teenagers still take up drinking before they are 18 anyway.

It looks like a good one alright, I think you need to get it professionally appraised and your are right get it insured, it is a lovely and I would think valuable original piece, Im just not sure that the top and trestle legs were made for one and other. Thanks for sharing."
I checked the top and it appears to be a veneer of walnut on top of some other dark wood. I can see joins around the edge where the veneered curved pieces come together.
You could be right about the legs not being part of the original top. Its hard to be sure, the wood underneath the table top looks very similar to the wood the legs are made from so I guess it's possible they match.

Cool! Thanks for the response Kiwimuncher. I took this photo in New South Wales, Australia.
You're right about the bees, It certainly had plenty of them working on it.
Yep Acai berry products seem to be the latest and greatest thing that the diet and weight loss industry has jumped on. I've had it in a juice mix and it tastes ok.
It's mainly marketed as a weight loss supplement and "detox" product. Although many people seem to think that its anti oxident benefits are no elevated than in say cranberries or blueberries. Indeed I have read that blueberries have higher levels of anti-oxidant compunds than the acai berry.
Still, having said all this...like any of these fruits, it's probably better than snacking on junk food :) Everything in moderation I say.
Yep I wouldn't worry about putting weight on from eating watermelon, there are fruits like cherries and grapes which have far higher levels of sugar. Even they won't make you put on weight unless you are gorging on them!
Stay out of the sun! It's the best thing you can do to keep your skin looking young. Of course you need a little sun each day for good health and Vitamin production, but baking out there for a tan is the worst idea ever.
