i can feel the fur. looks so soft

9 weeks right now. no name yet , the breeder uses the mom's name and the color of the collar. we will have a name by the time it hits my house next saturday. excited and sad together if that makes sense. it would be this weekend but with easter and family stuff i won't have time. i want to be free to hang out with the little furball

It’s been one month that he showed symptoms. Just over 2 weeks gone. We can’t take the silence. Looked for puppy, bringing this fuzzy ball of joy home next week. I know it’s soon but he’s not coming back . This way he will be ready for camping. Plus help us get through

those speed limit signs are for cars in the summer....

i got ripped up by a husky when i was a kid, then a german shephard later on. i was convinced we did not mesh well , though dogs always found me . go to a party , only dog there would find me and hangout, paw, all of it. my girlfriend wanted a dog , i was against it. went across the road to my neighbors, the kids had the dog dressed up in people clothes and all kinds of stuff. i asked how the dog tolerated it, they said she loves it. i got to know that dog and it lead me down the road i'm on. Katie across the road was a golden retriever. she got me by the heart , and we looked. got my first big happy male in 1996 . he was my first real dog, and it killed me to lose him.

we always get another. give ourselves a little time to prepare for the next chapter. somehow i always see traits of the last one in the new ones. maybe it's just goldens but each has it's own personality along with the usual behavior. big kid that refuses to grow up.

i agree that dogs make us better people. it was tough this morning without him busting in like a freight train. camping without him is gonna be tough. even loading up without his stuff. maybe by then we will have another...

Only noise in my house is my pellet stove. Once that stops being used it will be way too quiet

My best friend. And I have some good friends but he was tops.

Thank you. You wouldn’t be human if you didn’t feel anything.

Sometimes I feel they come back . When I lost my first one it was very tough . My first real dog. We had him cremated. They called a month later. Sorry there were 2 containers of ashes. When my girlfriend went to get the second container at the vets there was a woman with a female golden puppy. She became ours. Funny how it worked out but she was sweet and lived 11 years.

Well he went this morning at home. My neighbor came over with a mini backhoe and dug the hole. I sent him off with his bed, blanket, food and water dishes, a can of food and his 2 favorite toys. It’s been a hard 2 weeks. Now we have to heal which I never really do . The backhoe my neighbor used actually belonged to my brother that passed away . Funny how that happens . My boy Remy loved snow, it started to snow and flakes were going in the hole. IMG_2553.mov

you should see the 2 of us.

goldens love toys and play like a kid. huge box of toys, most with the squeaker ripped out. he knows them by name. when i come he would always be waiting, and when he saw me he ran right to the toy box. he was waiting last night for the last time. too tired for the toy routine. not gonna be easy coming home to him not there

when i lost my female i was the usual destruction. out of nowhere this female calico cat shows up. not even scared. that cat got me through some tough days and nights. she knew when i was falling apart , and would purr and rub my face over and over. as time went on she disappeared . i have 2 feral cats that have become pets. both sleeping on my bed right now. i'll be leaning on them. the mousers . no mice anywhere
