And just like that, there are no more little puppy feet in the house.

That’s right…

Today we celebrate a long awaited day…

Happy Gotcha Day to our Tiny Tim - now named… Ti t Tim - and his new mom and dad Anna and Ty! Tiny is on his way to Pennsylvania, and it’s only the first of many adventures to come for Tiny. We knew that we wanted a very special home for him and he definitely found one. I can’t wait to watch him grow. Thanks to Anna and Ty for trusting and choosing us, and thank you to everyone who has shared posts, and recommended us. We couldn’t do it without you! Welcome to the Smiling Acre Family!

I tried… I really tried to get all of these beautiful goldens to pose together but then they saw a cat across the street or had other better things to do than pose for mom. I just wanted to be outside with good lighting 😂

None the less Happy National Golden Retriever Day!!!!

Today was the day!

We are wishing a very Happy Gotcha Day to Mr. Gingerbread and the Johnson Family! Big boy Gingie is getting a human big brother and is going not too far away to Sampson County! We got to watch him grow a little longer than the rest of the litter and it is definitely bittersweet to see him go. I know he is going to be so very loved in his new home, and spoiled rotten! We are so thankful you chose us and Mr. Gingerbread! Welcome to the Smiling Acre family!

Hey y’all! You may have noticed a name change. The reason for this is purely for visibility. We are still the same family full of animal love with puppies, rescued dogs and cats, rotten pure bred Golden Retrievers, hand gathered eggs, and chickens too. I found that our previous page name was too broad and not bringing the audience needed to help us be seen.
Thank you all for being here and invite your friends to join us!

Rescue chihuahua Fifinella wouldn’t have this going any other way.

Tiny couldn’t not have photos in the rain coat! 🧥 ☔️

Our 2nd gorgeous boy Mr. Gingerbread!

He is ready for this gloomy, rainy day with his raincoat, but if he is honest - he would rather get wet ☔️

He was the darkest of this group and I anticipate he will be just as dark as his mom Fern when he is fully grown. He has a boxy stature and infamous eyebrows like his dad Fawkes. He is a happy boy who is all about playing. In comparison to Tiny, he is a little bit more stubborn, but he learns new things quickly. He loves ice and comes running when he hears the ice dispenser. He knows to sit when he wants something, but also can’t contain his joy sometimes. As with all 12 week old puppies he is a work in progress, but oh so worth it. He sleeps through the nights most nights in his crate, as well as naps throughout the day.

He was dewormed at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. Fully vetted and cleared. First and second rounds of vaccines and current on flea medication. Gingie has grown up with cats, small and large dogs, and kids in the comfort of our chaotic but loving home.

I truly don’t know how this sweet boy is still with us.
- I mean don’t get me wrong - I love seeing this sweet face everyday, but I know there is someone out there that would love to see it too!

Mr. Tiny Tim is a beautiful medium golden with light undertones. He looks so much like his daddy Fawkes, but he has the gorgeous lighter colored eyes of his mama Fern! He loves playing tug and he loves treats. He is a master at “sit” and doing well with “down”. He sleeps through the night in his crate most nights.

Tiny has been raised with small and large dogs, kids, cats, and in the comfort of our chaotic but loving home.

Tiny had regular deworming at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks old. Vet Exam and clear. First and Second round of vaccines and is current on flea prevention.

“Are they cat friendly?”

Well….depends on the cat 🐈

Our resident orange cat Fenix takes an active role in raising the puppies and is very tolerant as you can see here with Mr. Tiny Tim
