Any dog lover knows that dog people are a breed apart. We love our dogs with hopefully as much as they love us back, but thats not really possible. Dogs are the prime example of unconditional love.

Grief of a Golden
Sophie is a Golden Retriever. She has unusually fuzzy front paws and a big heart. When I’m not feeling well I often wake up to find her paws around my neck and her head resting on my forehead. Any other time she will get up and move to avoid my snuggling with her.
If Gary wanted to snuggle, she would be there in a heartbeat. She was definately bonded to Gary the most and she adored him.
All the Kings Horses…
Boman, my oldest Golden, turns 14 this November 2008. He has been a constant source of joy and love for me through some of the hardest times of my life. He is one of the most special dogs I’ve ever known. Last week he had an accident that left me terrified…. but only for a short while. He is safe and sound now and acts as if nothing ever happened. This is the story of his great fall off a ledge high above the Skycomish river that flows behind my house.
Fond memories of Blackie
You can tell a lot about a civilization by how they treat their animals. “as you have done unto the least of these..”
Gary and Sophie have a bond that’s a joy to watch. She is so expressive with her eyes and ears. I swear she gets the most mischievous grin on her face sometimes…. Especially when she gets her way or pulls something over on Libby.
