Undici (11)...
Where does the time go? I remember her picking her out of the pack from her nail polish (yes, my friend had painted each puppy's paw in order to distinguish them). It was identical to what I had on my toes. She had this little, uncertain face when I put her down on the front lawn. She kept looking around for her brothers and sisters...
I sat down and waited patiently until she finally made her way up onto my lap and devoured me with puppy kisses.
It was true love and we've been partners ever since.
For dogs lovers and beyond, there is a "must read" out there. It is a love story, a friendship spanning time and above all, made me realize we humans may not the smartest species out there. I enthusiastically recommend "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein. "Marley and Me" was cute. This book is genius.

What a beautiful animal. I'm not generally a dog person. (I share my life with a 7 kilo feline tyrant.) but I make a ginormous exception for golden retrievers.
Happy Birthday Beauty.
