Premium Member Beau my new Golden Retriever Puppy
I have always wanted a golden retriever puppy. This year I decided to gift myself one; he is Beau. Thirty-five pounds of sheer puppy-chewing fun. Sophie, our thirteen -pound persnickety cocker was horrified. She is doing her best to pretend that Beau does not exist. Buddy, a mutt who was dumped on us two years ago likes Beau. They are both...

Golden retriever energy
Golden retriever energy from a human marshmallow Squidgy, and layers of softness So sickly, it’s yellow Push me and shape me Gelatine-free and never fully set I long for warmth and comfort Never opaque Vulnerable, in my mellow My eyes, a book to be read Transparent, in my lack of mystery Terrified by streams of novels On each day’s invisible stage If they could see my elements As I transmit,...

Such a shame Genny our doggie pet Our family golden retriever's life span is so short They become loving members of the family In fact she never asks for anything more Than two meals a day which we strictly follow And a bathroom break when needed She is an absolute sweetie! True sweet love!...

Premium Member Smokey and the Golden Retriever
Once when I was just a kid my mom thought t'would be nice, If I'd invite some friends to play and we could swing outside. I had a swing set in the yard where I would play for hours. My daddy built it just for me away from Mommy's flowers. It stood beneath a large Oak tree and even...

Sad Shiloh
Sad Shiloh trots nervously across the frozen ground, Hesitantly, then decidedly, sidling up to a new lady. At long last has he a loving mistress found? Will she rescue him from this place, so penned in and shady? This golden canine, with body thin and coat lackluster, Places his heart in her hand, Hoping she’ll see the unrequited love he...

Fiona Bonnie Heather Nairne
Fiona, fair beauty, fleet footed and fancy free, Flits over the field, Full of life and fun, a joy to see. She’s my Bonnie canine, sweet and good, Loving and loyal, a regal golden, Her tail held high, 'til coursing the woods. Wild is my Heather as her namesake flower on the hill, Pursuing bunnies, squirrels and birds, Though only for...

Mighty Heart of a Golden Retriever
Almost two weeks since I closed your weary eyes, some say dogs don’t go to Heaven, but I’m a believer- Deep in my heart I’d have to say that phrase never applies, when you’ve lost the mighty heart of a Golden Retriever. October 28, 2016...
