Five years ago today, Grandma lost her best friend and husband for 51 years; Mom and our Uncle lost their biggest cheerleader and confidante; and Asa and I lost the BEST Grandpa a dog could ever wish for. Mom still remembers that sad and stormy October night, as they drove home from the hospice for […]
Yesterday I shared with you how my brother, angel Lemmy, failed at getting a summer job. However, my friend Monte was quick to remind me that Lemmy did have a successful career as a model. Lemmy had the honor of being in not one but three juried art shows. Alright, so I probably should give […]
Seven years ago, on April 18, 2014, our brother, Lemmy, crossed Rainbow Bridge, at the age of 7 years old. Before he joined our family, Mom and Dad spent 7 years planning for Lemmy. So today we are reflecting on 7 years of preparation, 7 years of love, and 7 years of reflection. Longtime Coming: […]
Nine years ago on this date, I spent my last day in the whelping box with my siblings, before setting out on my grand adventure! I’m not sure if it is due to National Puppy Day being earlier this week, or my gotcha day anniversary tomorrow, but I’m feeling rather nostalgic. So today I thought […]
Asa sure gave us quite the surprise yesterday! Mom and Dad stopped at our favorite pet supplies store to pick up more kibble, and who should be smiling back at them from the flyer posted on the door, but ASA! Seriously, there was Asa posing as happy as could be with his friend the Easter […]
Recently someone asked me what was the first song parody Asa wrote. That distinction goes to “I Want a Rock,” originally shared on February 26, 2016. Technically this was more of a situation of Asa mishearing the lyrics to Twisted Sister’s iconic rock anthem, “I Wanna Rock,” than an actual song parody. Like all adolescent […]
Six years ago this month I started this blog with a few goals in mind. I was excited about the impending arrival of my little brother Asa, and wanted to share our adventures. Hence the name of the blog, “Living with a Golden.” I also promised my older brother Lemmy that I would keep his […]
Yesterday would have been our brother Lemmy’s 14th birthday. I was just a puppy, barely 2 years old, when my big brother Lemmy crossed Rainbow Bridge at the tender age of 7 years old. But boy did my quirky brother leave a lasting impression! Sadly, Asa never got to meet him. Therefore, today I’d like […]
Happy Birthday, Asa! In your six years I don’t think you’ve ever had a bad day, even when you are having a bad day! Your happy-go-lucky personality always comes shining through. You purr when you’re happy, can’t resist prancing on walks, and always have perfect comedic timing. Yet you somehow know when someone just needs […]
