Willow adjusted perfectly to our family dynamic.  She plays and plays and sleeps for hours.  Still working on sleeping through the night...  She is a talker and counter surfer (ice cubes are her favorite) and hole digger and swimmer and can eat her meal out of a 'slow feeder' in record time... she is 100% golden retriever and 100% family.  We love her and love her zeal and excitement for everything.  She is perfect.
