It is hard to believe a year ago, today, we lost Kona to cancer. Not a day goes by that I don’t remember him in some little way and with a smile. A lot of people ask us why we haven’t adopted another dog into our lives yet. Healing takes time. Some heal quickly, or …

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 …
Remembering Spencer.
Its hard to believe that it was one year ago today that Spencer passed away from cancer. A lot has happened in that time…we’ve fostered numerous Golden Retrievers for rescue and last September we adopted a special boy named Kona, but not a day goes by that I don’t think of Spencer. Although we both …
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 …
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-adjusting
Titus is adjusting to his foster life and revealing his true personality. Every foster dog takes some time to adjust and we respect that (except Jake… he was at home from day one… he was the only foster we had that slept a whole night through the first night!) . You never know what these dogs have lived through and can only speculate as to what as …
Jake-adopted-the new fresh prince of Bel Air
Jake found his forever family today! He is now the new fresh prince of Bel Air, where he is going to live with his new family. We’re sure he’s going to be spoiled like a king and have a great time exploring his new domain. Jake will have plenty of room to run and even …
Jake-focused
Jake loves to watch the world go by outside the window. I saw he was extra interested in something. The enemy on his lunch break. This squirrel was doing back flips for about 5 minutes. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a good shot of that. but he kept Jake entertained for a little over an hour. …
Jake-update
Jake is really enjoying having us all to himself and loves to play. He has so much energy we have dubbed him “the Red Rocket”. I have a feeling this guy would be really good at agility. After a big walk, in the mornings, we have a high energy play. Jake loves the Westpaw ball. …
Sky & Jake
Sky & Jake are a good example of the different shades Golden Retrievers come in. We’ve had reds and golds and they are both very pretty or handsome in the case of these 2 fellows. Sky is trying to entice Jake to play but they have very different styles of playing. Sky likes to wrestle …
Jake-update
Jake is settling in to our home and we are finding out new things about him as he does. Goldens are hunting dogs and Jake has the nose of a keen hunter. He puts his nose to the ground and sniffs every tiny scent. Jake is very keen on moving things so he would not …
Candy-adopted!
It’s true… Candy found her forever home today! We knew she would find a home quickly because she was a super special girl. Candy had a very long journey even though she was only 2 years old…she was found on the streets in Taiwan, spent almost a year in rescue there, flew 12 hours to …
Thank You-update.
Hello everyone, Spencer’s humans here. We just wanted to say very big, heartfelt “Thank You” for the outpouring of love and support we have received from so many during our time of mourning. All your cards, messages and e-mails have brought us so many smiles and have helped heal our hearts. Not a day goes …

We had lost our last Golden angel, Raja, seven months earlier to bone cancer. After some time to heal, we decided to foster …
Lovely Weekend.
I hope everyone had a very nice Valentine’s Day, full of love. Mine had lots of hugs and kisses. We spent some time out in the yard gardening. Well, the humans did the gardening while I just watched. I approved the choice of flowers. I even sniffed them all, BOL! In the afternoon we had …
Energizer Puppy.
That’s what my HM calls me now because I keep going and going and going. Two weeks ago today they gave me two weeks to live when they diagnosed my cancer, hemangiosarcoma. Well, I guess they got that wrong, BOL! I decided to celebrate with a small game of catch. Throw it, throw it, throw …
The Mighty Spencer.
Hi everyone! I thought I’d give you an update on me…I’m still doing mostly well. I have times when I feel just like my normal self and times when I slow down a little. But it’s still pretty good and I am a happy dog. It’s been raining in Los Angeles this weekend so I …
Super Spencer.
I am still fighting my cancer and winning more good days than bad for now. My humans say even though I look like an old softy, I proved I am tougher than I look. This bag is a message for breast cancer but I think it could be for any cancer… it’s all bad stuff. …
