Day 1535

Day 1535. “Walking With Goldens”

This is either an ad for the Midwest Fence Company or proof that I never do things in a small way! Five Goldens…yes that is a lot of pups!

People often ask me about, or comment on, the number of furry friends at our house.

“That’s a LOT of dogs!”

“They must eat you out of house and home!”

“Why so many dogs?”

“Why do you have ALL boys?”

“Lucky YOU!”

“I need more dogs!”

“How did you talk your husband into five?”

The list goes on and on! Every question has a perfectly sane response. Every comment receives a quick, positive answer. However, five does seem to be a bit “over the top.” So, amidst all the outside comments and questions, I decided to ask myself that very thing. Why five?

In all honesty, it simply happened. There was no magic in the number ”five," but they arrived in all their glory.

Ranger was getting near retirement, so Gus joined the crew.

Gus was so “zoomy,” we decided a puppy would calm him down (after revving him up).

Sam was that puppy!

Charlie and Hank were simply the last hurrah in puppy raising, so why not get two?

My husband is a saint and loves our menagerie! I am the recipient of so much love at The Big White House (two and four-legged) and that is a blessing!

Would I do it again? In a heartbeat!
