I haven’t yet met a Golden Retriever that I didn’t love. Yes, I know that they can be rambunctious and that one wag of the tail can sweep everything off the coffee table, but what joyous, smart, and happy dogs they are!

The Airedale is the largest of all terriers and was originally bred to hunt water otters. The breed was developed from the black-and-tan terrier and the otter hound and takes its name from the area where it originated – the River Aire region in Yorkshire, England. I’ve never had the privilege of personally knowing an…
One of the favorite dogs in my life was a basset hound mix owned by my parents. Photo / public domain/wikipedia They got her at a pound and named her Ima Doggie. Ima was the sweetest dog – patient, loving, and goofy. Ima liked to pick up things and carry them in her mouth. One…

When our children were small, my husband’s parents owned a wonderful black lab named Charlie. He was a patient and loving friend to our son and daughter. Whenever I think of Charlie, I remember him lying patiently while my children adorned him with daisies all down his back. What a sweet dog! Do you have…
