Goldens

This was the beginning… Meet Poco! He was our first; the one responsible for the love we have for Golden Retrievers. He was our best friend, our therapist, our teacher and so much more. We had to say goodbye right after Christmas in 2005. We were forced with the dreadful decision of putting him through painful treatments for cancer or say goodbye. As you can see from his picture, he was a Golden Oldie and we did not want him to suffer… Saying goodbye was one of the saddest days of our lives…It wasn’t long after his death that the ‘dog food scare’ hit and we realized, though we had been feeding him one of the “best” foods out there according to the professionals; when the whistle was blown, we realized it was probably what killed our sweet Poco. Needless to say, we learned not to trust anyone and do our own research regarding the food and healthcare for our sweet Goldens. We will share what works for them in this section.

Golden Love…Retrievers, That Is!

Golden Love…Retrievers, That Is!

Since I was talking about an inexpensive form of therapy yesterday (crocheting) I felt compelled to share another one today…our Goldens!

Now,  I have had dogs and, yes, in my younger days…those apartment years… I even had cats.  As I have said before I love all animals but there is one breed that stole my heart about sixteen years ago…Golden Retrievers!

Just look at these babies!!!

Bailey, on the left, is our girl and answers to Bailey, Bailey-Boo, Boo, Bailey-Marie, Bay, Boo-Boo…believe it or not I could go on…  Gabriel, on the right, is our boy who answers to Gabe, Gabey-Baby, Goob, Ba-Donk-A-Donk…    😉 Everyone in our family has  a multitude of nicknames, dependent upon the situation, and our four-legged family members are no different.

These two are by my side every single day.  If I am in my office working, they work with me.  Most days, Gabe actually gets under my desk and Bailey sleeps in my office doorway…no coming or going without them knowing it.

If I am working in the garden or yard, they are out there helping me.  Gabe is always intrigued by the good bugs crawling around in the garden.

When we are happy, they are right there with us, smiling and in a playful mood.

If we don’t feel well, they stay right by our side sharing their positive energy and trying to make us feel better.  Gabe is especially good at this!

When we are down we get right in the middle of them and soak up their love – feeling better in no time!

There is no limit to their dedication or love of our family members.  It is for this reason that they are THE BEST form of therapy there is…

Dog really is GOD spelled backwards.  They are the purest form of love and connection to Source  in this realm.  Humans, take note!!!

Dear me, I need to go smooch some puppy noses!!!  Here’s to a lovely day~
