My retriever drools like a Saint Bernard. In all my years of owning goldens, I’ve never had one quite like my Emma. She has a slight defect in her jawline and every. single. time. she takes a drink, there is a trail of liquid that follows her. She makes puddles while standing by the counter. It is incessant.
There is really nothing that I can do to correct her issue so I have come to accept it and adjust. There are towels everywhere. Easily washable rugs abound. I’ve grown accustomed to wipe-and-release whenever she is nearby.
There are some things that you can obliterate and other things you have to accommodate. Spend your energy on those upon which you can make an impact.
