This image was put together for one of the national dog days or golden retriever day, not sure which one as there are quite a few. But anyway, around here, every day is a Golden Day!

This is a pretty good summation of each of our golden angels: Paczki is Comfort (therapy dog), ZuZu is pure Joy, Daisy is all Love, and little Ginger is Happiness with lots of celebrations. It's a rough life, indeed!

At nine weeks old, and still a little munchkin, it was time to get Ginger used to posing with the pack. She was getting the sit and stay okay, but there was not a lot of sitting or staying at this age . . .

When you approach Paczki and she sees you coming, sometimes she doesn't give you the standard golden smile right away. What happens is that her eyes get all squinty . . .

There's nothing like a beautiful Spring day after a long, cold winter. Grass is green and skies are blue, the flowers are blooming and birds are singing, and the goldens are in full smile mode. What a wonderful, glorious day!

Thanks to a cutout from their uncle (little Trog), the girls were able to get fitted for their own beard. We present to you that little ol' band from the land of goldens, ZZ DOG!!
