Used to take the newspaper...

My first golden retriever, Penny would wake me between 5:30 and 6:00 so she could go out and get the newspaper. She would start really softly just making an air rush noise instead of barking then slowly get louder and louder until I woke up. Usually opened the door to let her out just as the paper hit the end of the driveway.

A couple of times neighbors came out to get their paper while she was getting mine and she would go take theirs to them. After only a that couple of times she started her own little paper route. She would go a couple houses down the block taking their paper from the end of their drive to the front porch, then do the same for the houses across the street. She did it on her own too. Found her doing it when I noticed her taking longer to get the paper and check to see what she was doing. None of the neighbors offered to pay her though.

Still really miss that dog.
