Dreaming Of Better Days

A day spent lounging in the sun and dreaming of better days. Thank your all for your kind support. We’re living each moment to it’s fullest.

insidious

It is with the heaviest of hearts and streaming tears that I post this. This is Kona’s bone scan. That bright white dot is a nerve sheath tumor, which means cancer is crushing the nerve sheaths in his armpit and along his spine. That little dot is insidious, as it grows all too quickly. Kona …

7/52 : Kona – For Spencer

It was 2 years ago today we lost our Spencer. He still makes me smile everyday, especially when I remember how he would pick up 3 tennis balls at the same time and “talk” to me. Kona can only do one tennis ball at a time but it makes him happy to have many. I …

Raja-Remembering The Original Red Dog

In loving memory of Raja April 7, 1997 – March 1, 2006 Raja was an amazing Golden Retriever who taught me the most important things in life: play hard, love harder and enjoy the moment, each and every one of them. I have never met anyone who lived life better than Raja. Though thick and …

Spencer-Remembering The Love.

In loving memory of Spencer March 1, 1998 – February 17, 2009 It is hard to believe it has been a year since we lost Spencer to cancer. I still laugh out loud when I think of some of his antics. He was an amazing dog who touched many other lives besides ours. An old …

Foster Updates

We thought we’d share some news we’ve recently gotten on some of our past fosters…. Sunny came to stay with us and Spencer and foster, Jessy, in March 2007. This 10 week old sweetie was full of Golden puppy energy. She and Jessy (4 months old) were a little Golden tornado whirling through the house …

Kona-Getting To Know Kona

Kona spent a nice Sunday with us as we got to know him better. We found out he loves tennis balls and he flips them around on his own if you don’t throw them for him. He’s very agile and extremely fast. He politely waits for you to throw the ball. He doesn’t mind hats. …

A Small Break

Hi everyone. Thanks for all your very nice comments on Titus’ adoption! We’ve heard report that he is doing very well and getting lots of love…no surprise there, with that cuddly bear look of his:) I’m going to take a small break from blogging to really focus and catch up on a few things at …

Titus- Adopted!

Today is one of those bittersweet days for fosters…Titus left us early this morning for his forever home up in Northern California. So while we are so very happy for him to find a family to love him, we are sad to see him leave our home. Titus holds the record of staying with us …

Honest

Thanks to Farley and his mom over at 1000Goldens.com for giving us the Honest Scrap award! The instructions are to link back to the person who gave us this award , share 10 things about myself that are true, and pass it along to 10 more bloggers. I’m going to share the questions with our …

Titus- Black & White

I’ve been studying black and white photography and thought I’d test out some shots with Titus. Titus is just as handsome in black & white as he is in color. You can’t hide true beauty.

Titus-Marrow Bones

Titus was very excited this evening. And this is why….fresh marrow bones from the butcher. Seasoned with a little olive oil and sea salt, they were ready for the grill. “Wait a minute….where’s mine?!?” The wait was worth it…. More please!

Remembering Spencer

It is  5 months today that we lost Spencer to hemangiosarcoma. There is not a day goes by that we don’t remember Spencer, sometimes with a few tears but mostly with a smile or laugh.  This week was our 13th wedding anniversary and it made me remember  the trip we took up to Carmel for …

Titus-2 months update

Today is Titus’ 2 month anniversary of being in our foster care. The search for his forever home continues and he is happily waiting for just the right family. Titus is a very gentle 2 year old and loves attention. I think he would be a very good candidate for a therapy dog. As long …

Titus-Lake Balboa

This weekend we took Titus to Sepulveda Basin Park for a hike. He was up early and eager to go. He really enjoys going places with you. Early in the morning, we could get a good walk in around the lake before it got really hot and before the crowds showed up. The lake is …

Titus & Friends

I got a new lens for my camera today (Nikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8g for you photo techies) and Titus agreed to be my model to test it out. It’s a pretty sharp lens as you can see by the drop of water on his chin. Titus posing like a super model at twilight. Titus’ …

Titus-Post Holiday Weekend

We’re back after a really big stint of crazy work schedules which always means no blogging time. We hope all our American friends had a safe and happy 4th and all our Canadian friends had a great Canada Day! Titus was ready to celebrate in style, sporting his stars and stripes bandana. It was really …
