A gentle morning with the golden girls brings a familiar song and a reason to slow down.

Golden retrievers have a special talent for gathering treasures, and Ginger was already well on her way.

Young Ginger watches her sisters play, patiently waiting for her chance to join in.

Paczki celebrates her seventh birthday with the gentle smile that makes her such a wonderful therapy dog.

After getting wet, ZuZu shakes from head to tail, building toward a vigorous full-body finish that always brings a few laughs.

Shadow was about three and Daisy just over one when they posed together late in the afternoon on a beautiful autumn day.

On a misty autumn morning, Paczki and ZuZu pause their chase, rise onto their hind legs, and share a playful dance in the yard: the Tennessee Waltz.

ZuZu, our athletic golden retriever, loves chasing Frisbees almost as much as surprising the squirrels in the yard.

On Memorial Day, we remember the fallen heroes and families whose sacrifices deserve our gratitude.

Sweet ZuZu has always held a special place in my heart, and she always will.
