Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day

 

 Two of my grand-dogs that crossed the rainbow bridge, Chewy and Nibbles. They are missed! Hubby and I watched our grand-dogs many times, they loved their walks on the fire roads.  

These are all the dogs, hubby and I have owned since we've been together 1989.

Link up your post and share your critters, join in with my critter party ! You can share any kind of critters the real ones, pretend ones, statues and paintings, a new or old post!


Surprise, no birdies photos today. Gone but not forgotten, hubby and I will always remember good times with the first dogs we owned together. This was way before our sweet Goldie Girl. Sunshine was first, she was a pretty yellow Labrador. Daisy came 6 months later , she was a sweet Golden Retriever.  I scanned some of my favorite photos of Sunshine and Daisy.  Some old film photos were taken around 1990, scanned recently into my computer. 

Sunshine on the left and Daisy on the right. 

 Both Daisy and Sunshine loved swimming in the nearby lake. 

 Fetching sticks and swimming were their favorite activities.

 Sunshine, she look like she has a fly on her face. 

 Daisy found this mud puddle to be refreshing..

 During these stay at home times hubby and I worked on some old photo albums.  Happy times and happy memories!

Saturday's Critters #41


Happy weekend and welcome to Saturday's Critters! I am sorry I will not be around till later in the day..  I do hope to catch up as soon as possible.. I hope everyone enjoys today's critters.


This is the hardest post I have ever done..it is a tribute my Goldie Girl.. We said our final goodbyes to Goldie on Labor Day weekend..I am just about able to talk about her. At first, I would  tear up and have a lump in my throat.. She had many illnesses and we just felt it was better for her comfort to let her go. The vet said the Golden Retrievers find a way to tolerate and hide their pain.  I know she is in doggie heaven with our other dogs Sunshine, Daisy and Maui. Maybe they are playing together now.

Sweet Goldie Girl...I miss you!  I know many of my followers have gone thru the loss of their dear pets, they are family..It was over 12 years ago we said goodbye to our other dogs and I still miss them too.

Above are Daisy, Maui , Sunshine and way in the rear Sierra.

Above are my favorite dogs, Goldie Girl and the bottom row Daisy our first Golden, Maui a chocolate Lab and in the rear Sunshine our Yellow Lab.  Bottom right another shot of Daisy.. I miss them all right now!! 

I saved this post until today because I need some time  before I could talk about Goldie's passing. It also helped we had our Colorado vacation planned and I was not at home in what felt like an empty home without Goldie Girl.
