The Holidays are all about making memories with family, and here at Living with a Golden, dogs are definitely family! It is a tradition in our household to make salt dough paw prints to as a lasting keepsake. You can make them as ornaments to hang on the tree, or put them in a shadow […]
Asa here. As you are probably well aware, my Imaginary Friend and I are inseparable. However, he tends to be a bit shy and only appears in the most random of places, usually behind glass. However, it has always been my dream that someday he would finally come out of the shadows and talk to […]
