Memories
A little bit about the special dogs that are no longer with us but are not forgotten
No matter how many Golden Retrievers I own, they all have there own distinct personalities………….as for Solo, she was truly my soul mate.
Born from a litter of ‘one’ , hence the name Solo, and hand raised by me, she crawled a little deeper into my heart. I truly believe that I was her reason for living. She had little interest in other people or dogs and seemed to keep a watchful eye on me her whole life. She formed her own bond with me from the day she was born. There was the ‘silly Solo’, playfully grabbing at my pant legs after completing our performance in obedience, running in circles was her forte in life, she could run in circles faster then any dog I have ever seen, even winging her ball on a rope in circles as she ran or running in circles inside her crate. She was content to let the other dogs be the leader of the pack and only cared for me and about where I was.
It is never easy to say Good Bye to any of my Golden’s, but for Solo, my last granddaughter of my original Golden, Abbey, saying Good Bye was truly a heart wrenching decision.

This peaceful departure was the last gift I could give you, when you gave me so many over your 13 years - Obedience High in Trials, Hunt Tests, Master National, Amateur Field Trial Champion, and all with attitude, grace, and dignity. You taught me so much and, although we love you all, some are just "more special" than others, and you were my "more special " boy. Thank you, Renee, for Joker.

Capo lived every day to the fullest. He was a happy boy and knew he was the king. His greatest joy was playing ball and going for long walks with his mamma..... I've never known a dog to have a more loving and beautiful spirit.... Capo shall live in my heart forever.... October 20, 1999 to October 4th, 2007, but with me always, just around the bend.
Loved and greatly missed by Darcy
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven
is a place called
Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially
close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends
so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
