Happy Endings
This
is Maverick, our first foster dog...he was 6 years old
when we fostered him last July. He was given up by his owners of 6 years.
The last year they had him he was left outside 24/7 & pretty much
forgotten (neglected). We did not plan on adopting him, but his sweet
disposition was too much for us to resist. He became ours on Aug 1st.
We adopted Jake in March 2006, when he was 11 months
old, and despite the information about issues he had in the past, such
as chewing and being destructive, we have had an amazingly easy time training
him. He goes swimming, backpacking, and sledding with us, and is just
an all around amazing dog. (And it turns out he's also extremely photogenic!)
We adopted Tanner July 2006
when he was 8 months old. After chewing his way through several rugs,
knitting projects, and a Mariners baseball cap, he's grown up and is a
great, well-behaved dog. He turned 2 this past November and he is such
an important part of our family! This is a picture
of him ENJOYING the beach up on Whidbey Island. He loves his morning walks,
playing with his friends at the doggie park, and running full-out down
in the woods at my Dad's place in Montana. Tanner is our second EGRR dog
in about 7 years. Our first was Casey, who we got when she was 5. She
died 2 years ago from liver failure and it broke our hearts. We love goldens
and our friends and family enjoy sharing our special dogs with us.
I received a golden retriever from Rescue Jan 2006. Her name is Danni and she has been the greatest pet I've ever had. We are best buddies. She's loving, knows what she wants and how to tell me, and she's beautiful. I fell in love with her the first time I saw her. Just wanted to thank you all for making such a great match.
Posing
with our our son Owen is Elias (formerly Seamus). Elias
has been a great addition to the family and is great with Owen (now ten
months) and our cat. He's a little over energetic at times but is settling
down a bit as he now nears fours years of age.
