I am captivated by our Golden Retrievers.  Sherman’s presence depicts a powerful, masculine viral male.  He is an adoring clown.  Pearl, has a similar striking appearance with her heavy substantial frame, but with a more refined head.  She too is a bit of a clown, very athletic and loving.  She is a 70 pound lap […]

Willow’s 6 AKC Cream Golden Retrievers were born February 26.  On March 5th, Pearl delivered 7 beautiful F1 (first generation 50% poodle, 50% golden retriever) Goldendoodles.  We are changing puppy pads, removing dew claws, weighing puppies daily, washing puppy pads, and cleaning, cleaning, cleaning!  Both moms are doing beautifully and the pups seem to be […]

The Puppies Are Coming! The Puppies Are Coming!

As an equestrian, I imagine Paul Revere’s midnight ride to begin as a tremulous mounting on a fidgety horse, swift kick to the sides, and a launched gallop into the night.  Revere, carrying news that British soldiers stationed in Boston were about to march to the countryside to arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock, must […]
