For those of you that don't hang around with golden retrievers regularly, take it from me - they have the habit of sitting on your foot, pinning you to the spot while they lean against you. There you are, totally immobilized and ready to pet, scratch and dote on them until such time as they feel fit to let you go. God help you if you're running late for a bus.
Someone at the dog park the other day asked what we should call a group of golden retrievers - given that we have a "murder of crows" and a "parliament of owls", etc. I suggested we call them a "lean of golden retrievers". The idea was well received.
