"With love from your sister, Fancy (Pants)"

Happy Valentine's Day. Sweetie, in honor of Loki, our beautiful Golden girl that we lost one year ago today. We miss her soft white face and sweet spirit, and think of her when we see you! We can't wait to hear you've found a wonderful furr-ever home.

 In memory of my first PM girl, Gracie. From Cheerie

Whoever named this girl, picked the right name, she is the sweetest girl. Sweet Sweetie loves everyone. She met the other six dogs here (big and small) without a grumble. She wants only to be by your side and if you wanted to scratch her head all day long, she’d be more than happy to accommodate you.

Sweetie lived with her sister, Fancy 11-174, in a barn where she whelped a litter or two of puppies. She is thoroughly enjoying her new life as an indoor housepet. Sweetie visited the vet and other than an ear infection, urinary tract infection and being in season, she is a very healthy girl. We ran a CBC and Chem Panel (which is something we do for all dogs 8 years old and up) and everything came back in the normal range, which means that her bloodwork and internal organs are all normal and healthy. Sweetie is short in stature for a purebred Golden Retriever and could lose a few pounds. She weighed in at only 62 pounds, but 55 might be a more ideal weight for her. Due to her having a UTI and being in season, I am crating her when I go to work. She’s not excited to go into a kennel, but will follow treats in. Once in, she’ll lie down quietly after a few minutes. She does enjoy treats and we will find her first in line when we get the treats out.

Don’t let this girl’s age fool you. She has plenty of energy. I even found her jumped up on our kitchen bench enjoying the view out the window. Where is my camera when I need it? She was so cute. I don’t have cats, but Sweetie is such a gentle girl, I don’t think she would bother a cat. I also would trust her with kids since she doesn’t seem to have an aggressive bone in her body. I don’t think she needs another dog in her home, but would get along with any dog if you do have one. She also doesn’t run away. Someone came to our door and Sweetie had to say, hi, so quickly scooted out to meet them, but then came right back in when asked. Sweetie’s biggest priority for her new family will be people that love her and that want to give her all the attention that she so enjoys and deserves. I’d love to see her broaden her horizons getting to go on errands and walks and to explore the world. Sweetie may be a good candidate as a therapy dog since she is so sweet and gentle.
