I love this 💕🐾

When a Cherokee County family asked for help finding a place where their beloved golden retriever could swim one last time, the community didn’t hesitate.

Their dog, Mason, had just been diagnosed with a critical illness. In their heartbreak, they posted a simple request, hoping someone might have a pool or a quiet creek where he could feel peace again. What they received in return was overwhelming.

Dozens of people from across Cherokee County opened their hearts and their homes. They offered pools, lakes, creeks, and ponds. Strangers sent prayers. Neighbors reached out. The family was deeply moved by the outpouring of compassion.

On Friday, Mason got his last swim. He was calm, happy, and surrounded by love.

He spent that evening with grilled nuggets and ice cream from Chick-fil-A, just off Riverstone Parkway. On Saturday, as his energy began to fade, he rested at home with his favorite people. He had a grilled steak, more ice cream topped with whipped cream, all his favorite treats, and even a beer with his dad.

He spent time with his Grammy and Papa, and with a neighbor who often chatted with him over the fence. That night, his mom held him close, talking to him through the dark.

By Sunday morning, they knew it was time. Mason had eggs and a full pound of bacon, followed by one last indulgence, two peanut butter Reese’s Cups, before saying goodbye, wrapped in the arms of the family who adored him.

Mason was so much more than a pet. He was a road trip buddy, a conversation starter, a joy-spreader. From the mountains of Colorado to the beaches of Florida, he never met a stranger. And if Mason couldn’t go, they didn’t go. That’s the kind of love he inspired.

His family wanted to thank Cherokee County, for reminding them that even in the middle of heartbreak, kindness still shows up. They are heartbroken, but forever grateful.

Thank you for loving Mason ❤️

McKenna, Matilda, Loulou, Gator, and their mom came over to swim today and they all had a great time enjoying the perfect weather. The shallow water in the bay was the perfect depth for baby Gator to splash around in with his big sisters.

Today we welcomed Lucy, a disabled goose, and Tiger, a pupper, and their family.
Lucy cannot walk but he (yes, he) can swim! A little water therapy did him good, he looked happy to be swimming, which relieves his burdens. He even met some wild ducks that caught his interest.
This was the perfect place for him to get his feet wet and spread his wings, nice shallow water in a safe atmosphere.

Foster pup Brownie caught his first fish and he is very proud. It was a zombie crappie, half dead, easy to catch, proud nonetheless. Good job, Brownie.

It still feels and looks like winter here but we're hopeful that warmer weather is in the near future!
