It's National Golden Retriever Day! ... Here's my Golden Retriever Story. 😍

Going on 11 years ago, I was introduced to my friend's friend who had lost his dalmatian friend of 15 years. After 5 years of being dogless he was ready to adopt another puppy.

He found out that I was an animal person and had many years of experience with animal behavior which included years of training simple puppy obedience to controlled protection/attack work, and also trained sport dogs.

I also fostered dogs from chihuahuas to great danes, and took in client board and trains.

There was a time in my life where I had the chance to experience owning a pack of dogs and was able to study living with pack behavior.

A text book would never be able to provide that kind of hands on experience which I'm grateful to have...

I also had the grooming shop, so when Mark asked me if I could help pick the best female puppy out of a Golden Retriever litter, the answer was automatically, yes.

The puppies were about 5 weeks old so between picking the puppy out, and picking the puppy up to bring home, we became a couple and have been ever since.

We named the puppy Daisy.

After a few years, I researched several male Golden Retriever studs and found one that we ended up traveling to meet up with, and Daisy had a litter months later.

We had the most amazing time raising the puppies together. Daisy was and still is an amazing mother and all of the puppies were spoken for before they were 8 weeks old.

The puppies also had Grandma Diva in their life at the time who was my beloved Standard Poodle.

She was basically a human that was rescued from a puppy mill type situation. I met her through being a grooming client and soon after adopted her from the lady who took her in. She came with the name
Coco, but that was changed to Diva before we even made it home, which suited her perfectly.

Mark and I wanted to keep a puppy out of Daisy's litter so I ended up picking the biggest male, but by the time the puppies were 6 1/2 weeks old, we noticed the smallest male puppy was different.

He was attentive, much faster than the other puppies, and just stood out due to his intelligence level.

I worked with the puppies multiple times a day and when I told the puppies to sit, the 9 puppies would automatically sit, however, the smallest puppy would always be the last puppy sitting while looking straight up at me, every single time.

Every morning, afternoon, and evening, the puppies would get carried outside, two at a time, and placed in a ex-pen so that I could clean their whelping box.

One day when I was cleaning and the puppies were in their outside pen, I turned around to see the smallest puppy sitting right behind me looking straight up at the back of my head.

I was startled and asked, "how did you get back in here?"

I picked him up and put him back in the pen with his siblings, turned and started to walk away, but before I could make it to the front door, the little 6 1/2 week old puppy climbed the 4 foot ex-pen like a ladder, over the top, fell to the ground and ran full blast to my foot to sit and looked straight up.

After that, we decided the smallest puppy was the one to keep, he was then named, Carlos.

The amount of journeys these dogs have been on with us are too many to count, but we do remember a lot of them.

I'll never forget when they got lost in the snowy woods, it was getting dark and the truck got stuck in the snow going up a steep hill.

Mark had to dig the truck out while I was walking around the forest in waste-deep snow while calling for the dogs.

About 20 minutes later, 5 month old Carlos ran up to me in the middle of the dark forest and had to be carried over my shoulder while I used the trucks revving sounds to make my way back safely.

We definitely needed a drink after that ordeal.

Another couple of fun stories were when Carlos and Daisy swam out in the middle of a river to swim with the otters... Daisy was fetching a stick in the bay and got chased by a seal... Carlos ran after a herd of elk, but with his amazing recall came right back ...

Also, the night I was trying to capture a owl who was stunned by getting hit by a car and right when I had a blanket around it and was bending over to pick it up, Carlos ran right up to it nose to beak, and the owl spooked and luckily flew away.

The list of memories are long. Very thankful for this Golden Retriever chapter in my life, it has been a fun ride. 💝

This doodle just got adopted and the new owners weren't sure if he was going to bite or not so they premuzzled him before entering the shop.

He was an amazing dog and super sweet so the muzzle came off soon after he arrived with no issues.

He will now be on a regular grooming schedule, every 4-5 weeks so he won't have to be shaved so short next time.

The new owners loved his haircut and couldn't believe what he looked like under all of that matted hair. 🥰

After receiving the information about how my van was found this morning, I was able to make it to the impound and get to work on time to groom these 8 marvelous dogs.

It has been a busy day today. 😅

RECOVERED!

Early AM there was a report of the police findings my van, the guy tried to leave and ended up ramming police officer vehicles.

The guy ran so officers brought in dogs and the guy is still on the run.

Mark and I went to pick it up from impound and were pleasantly surprised that there was only slight damage to the passanger side bumper, but it drives great with still a 1/2 tank of gas.

The guy started putting my stuff in garbage bags, the first thing I saw was one of my favorite pictures of me and my deceased father. I instantly felt a heavy presences and tears came to my eyes. Thanks to my guardian spirits.

I found needles, his backpack and his wallet inside which the police came out to gather the evidence.

Last night I did a full on manifestation candle ritual asking to be reunited with my van, and this morning I got my Ox back. 🥰

I am so very thankful and glad no one got hurt. Thank you all for your concern and looking out for me. 😘

Hello!

I'm working on one of my special hard to handle dogs tomorrow, so I figured I'd take a few more grooms in.

I'll still honor my special deal from Saturday for bath and nails.

If you'd like to get in on a extra calm day which will be great for pets with anxiety who don't like crowds, or other dogs, let me know!
