Wednesday Friendsday

Happy Wednesday Friendsday Golden lovers!

Meet Kona McCall – the four-legged child of Kristina & Brandyn McCall (who are newlyweds – congrats!).

Kona is 1 year old, and is quite active (just like his mom and dad). When he’s not swimming, he loves to go on runs with Kristina & Brandyn. His favorite toys either squeak or bounce, and he is always persistant that someone plays with him with these toys. Even if you try to ignore him, he’ll either flick you with his toy – or puts both paws up on your lap.

Kona has an older sister named Daisy (that is a 7 years old Yorkie). Even though Kona is 10 times her size, Daisy still bosses him around. So kind of Kona to be polite to his elders 🙂 He also has a cat brother named Dennis the Menace that he loves to play with. What a lucky pooch – so many friends! Love this photo of Kona cuddling with Daisy.

Kona is so handsome that he is officially a “stud” dog – female Goldens see Kona and want to have his babies! So he’s been called to a couple of houses to produce beautiful pups. What a stud, indeed!

Thanks for sharing photos and fun facts about Kona, Kristine! I hope you and Brandyn are loving married life with your family of pets 🙂

..we’re back!

Sorry it’s been nearly a month since my last post – I’ve been super busy with work and living in hotels and airplanes the past few weeks. I’m so happy to finally have a full week at home with my pups! (and husband) 🙂

Quincey does okay while I’m gone, but Roxy gets SUPER lonely. Brad sent me this pic of the dogs while I was traveling.. Roxy’s face explains it all – she missed her mama!

While I was traveling for work, I stayed a couple of nights in Denver at The Curtis Hotel. As I was walking into the hotel, they had a welcome sign with pictures and a big water bowl for dogs that were checking in that day – so cute! Although, it made me wish I had brought the pups with me. It’s an adorable hotel – if you’re looking for a pet-friendly place to stay in downtown Denver, you should check it out! A great restaurant called The Corner Office is attached to the hotel, too.

All Dogs Go To Heaven

This morning on my facebook newsfeed I saw that a friend’s dog had recently passed and it broke my heart.

The hardest part of owning a dog is having to say goodbye. Coping with the loss of a pet is extremely difficult, as the bond you share with your furry friend is unlike any relationship you will ever have with a human. Dogs offer unconditional love and companionship. For those who are dealing with the loss of a pet, I encourage you to try to see it as an opportunity to grow emotionally, and to always remember that both of your lives were richer because you had each other in it.

Here’s a photo I love that proves that all dogs really do go to heaven..

Today I’m thinking of Pepper & Dusty, the black and yellow lab I grew up with. I’m a firm believer that growing up with these dogs taught me how to trust, respect, and most importantly – love unconditionally.
