Britain (Diva) just wants to say Hi to everyone at RAGOM;  We have been SO busy having an amazing new life – that we forgot all about sending pics to Happy Endings !

Happy Holidays to ALL :)

Diva goes to Goldzilla 2016!

Thank you RAGOM for being SO authentically invested in these dogs !!!! :)

Even after all this time – The Foster Families advise to have plenty of tennis balls on hand - still applies !! :)

I remember this awesome lady – I jumped up and gave her a BIG kiss during her South Dakota news show !!! :)

Loving Summer !!!    :)

Relaxing after a long hike to the park – my human sisters go to TONS of parks !!  :)

I LOVE to sit in the grass and gaze off after a long walk !! My vet is SUPER happy as I gained 4 pounds in mostly muscle from TONS of long walks every day !!! I get quite a lot of compliments :)

Ice cream for family – my favorite bone for me – after playing at the soccer fields :)

Here is Diva at her very first soccer game watching one of her new human sisters play  :)

Wow, has Diva had a busy two weeks since coming to the United States! She arrived at her new foster home a little over a week ago. She sends kisses and wags to everyone who helped her get here.

She met our two resident dogs with a little barking, but everyone worked it out after an hour, and they are now playing together. She is very playful.

Hanging out with Carly and Bella.

On her third day at our house, a local TV station came to do an interview on the dogs from Turkey. She was thrilled with all the attention. With perfect timing, she even jumped up and gave one of our volunteers big kisses when she was describing how great Golden Retrievers are. In the middle of the taping, she even brought the reporter her shoe! She really does live up to her name.

The very next day, Diva attended her first meet-and-greet. She was a rock star! We had a great turnout for the afternoon, and she met a lot of people, kids, and dogs. She did really well with all the attention, especially when meeting kids. Miss Diva also managed to find the bulk treat bucket while we weren't looking and helped herself to a few. She was very tired after all of that excitement.

Meet-and-greets are hard work.

Here is what we have learned about Miss Diva the past week. First of all, this young lady is not shy at all. She loves people and just wants attention. She has not shown any fear at all. Diva still has a LOT of puppy energy. She plays until she collapses, takes a quick nap, and gets right up and goes again. Miss Diva is also a skilled counter-surfer and truly a retriever. She will bring you anything she can find on a counter or table, like a tape measure, a plastic cup, a marker, etc. She also is on a mission to destroy as many stuffed toys as possible. She knows "sit" and is learning "stay." We are working on walking a little better on a leash. The only time she pulls is when something catches her attention and she wants to check it out.

Diva loves toys!

Diva is a great dog that needs a little work on her obedience training. She is very energetic and very sweet. She is also a big cuddlebug and snuggles really well.
