Earlier this week we shared a video from 2016 of Asa and myself playing on the beach. As we watched, we were reminded of a valuable life lesson we learned that day that wasn’t readily apparent in our video. We learned the importance of helping a stranger in need and paying it forward. In fact, […]
As 2019 draws to a close, we’d like to pause and reflect on the lives of dear friends who crossed Rainbow Bridge this year. Some we knew since they were a puppy, while others we were just starting to know. Some we never met in person, but through their tweets and posts, they became dear […]
It’s not every day that one can surround themselves with joy, love, hope, healing, mischief, fun and 159 Golden Retrievers.

This week Mom and Dad’s trainer invited us to join him for a special class at the beach. The students were specially selected because we each had unique skills that we needed to work on with our humans. One dog, nicknamed “Cujo” by the trainer, is aggressive towards little dogs.

Now that we’re finally getting a hint of spring in Maine, it’s time to take Mom and Dad’s training outside. Let’s face it, we’ve been working really hard all winter, but we’ve been cooped up practicing at the same old dog friendly stores and in our neighborhood. Mom and Dad know what we expect of […]

Now we’re going to focus on training Mom and Dad on the polite greeting of dogs. However, it seems that Mom and Dad’s trainer and […]
As everyone knows, my motto is “Fetch is Life!” Now most may assume I learned how to play the best game ever from my big brother, Lemmy. However that is far from the truth. You see Lemmy took a different approach and enjoyed playing “Har, Har, I have the Ball and You Don’t.” Those rules […]
Charles Dickens once wrote, “And can it be that in a world so full and busy, the loss of one creature makes a void so wide and deep that nothing but the width and depth of eternity can fill it up.” This year we had to say goodbye to many dear friends and family who […]
On May 19, 2018, 120 Golden Retrievers from across New England and beyond gathered at Dog Mountain in St. Johnsbury, Vermont with a purpose; to support the critical research of the Morris Animal Foundation Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, to honor the important mission of Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue, to remember special Golden angels, and to […]

It all began on Friday afternoon when Mom and Dad loaded us up for a long car ride to St. Johnsbury, Vermont. Silly […]
