7th Goldieversary

I have had Goldie for 7 fun years.
RUNNING! And you can't catch me.

We have walked at least 5,000 miles together. Chased 3,000 birds. Caught 50 lizards, five gophers and one very mad rat. Been through one major and three minor surgeries. Rattlesnake bite. Foxtail in the eye and one in the ear. She has dragged me through bushes, into the ocean, over fences. She is an adventuresome dog and I am her enabler.

And as I say to her every day, I still think she is "the greatest dog in the world."

  6. I'm so jealous. I want a big lovey dovey face licking dog. I'm biding my time till I can devote myself like you do to yours. I sure wish I could see the two of you as she drags you places. That sounds funny.

  10. She looks like a happy dog. I'd say you've made her as happy as she makes you. Kisses and scratches under the chin to Goldie.

  11. Happy Birthday to your lovely furry friend! I swear dogs are just like kids. When I was reading your post I could totally relate.

    Hope you celebrate all weekend!

    Hugs!!

  12. i'm fairly sure you'd have mentioned a mutant 5th paw sticking out of her chest, so i'm probably just looking at the picture the wrong way.
