Golden Retriever Rescue does great work. Chris and I decided we’d do our part and foster a newly rescued golden named Buddy.
He’s in the process of finding his forever home, but needed a temporary loving family to look after him in the interim. So, we picked up this one year old golden galoot and have [...]

I know I haven’t posted lately, but it’s not like there isn’t alot going on – au contraire! But, more on all that later. I did receive these lovely canine thoughts from my friend and fellow dog lover, Nancy.
