Our Golden Story
We had a male golden, Chase, when our daughter Faith was born. When Faith was two, we added a female golden to our family, Goldie. Faith and Goldie were inseparable. That sweet dog would do anything for Faith. And believe me, Faith had her do some funny things: wear her sunglasses, walk with shoes on her front feet, dress up in a dress and hat, ...and the giggles of that little g
irl!!! Chase and Goldie had puppies on our farm a couple years later. We sold all but two, Rex and Rachel. Then a friend had a female golden they couldn't keep due to a move, so with Bridgette we had five goldens. When our dear Chase passed away, we wanted a new Daddy dog. That's how Gunner joined our family. Now, Faith was five years old and we gave her the responsibility of taking care of the dogs. Her older brother, Matthew, and older sister, Bethany, had pigs and calves for 4-H and Faith felt she should have a "project" too. So began this girl's "college fund", raising Golden Retrievers. Today, Faith is out of college, all paid for because of the joy of raising puppies each year. It has been a pleasure getting to know some wonderful people along the way...some complete strangers have become sweet friends through this relationship. Well, now Mom has taken over the "business" so to speak. It is in my blood. Faith left me with Gunner, Penny Belle, Bandit, Benjamin Button, and Macy Carmella. When I have had grandchildren, I have added a new puppy. Eyra Grace has Ruby, Maksim Titus has Copper, Kilian Grey has Rosebud, Leighton Audrey has Jasmine, Lainey James has Noel, and Jace Toren has Skye. We adopted Montana as well. It is fun to see the smiles and sparkle in my grandchildren's eyes when we have puppies on the farm. Puppies and Grandkids. Life just can't get any better than this! Hence April's Goldens ...
