My Golden is named Sandy. My best buddy that I just had to put down was Chloe. She was also a Golden. They are really great family dogs. Smart, great with kids but shed like no animal I have ever seen.
That brings back memories… I had a lab named jasper 35 yrs ago. Best dog ever. Ran the creek by my house with him for my entire formative years (9 or 10 all the way to college) with that dog before having to put him down my second year of college. Longest walk I’ve ever taken taken, going with him out for his last walk because he was so arthritic.
