I am a senior citizen who enjoys writing and other forms of communication. I enjoy designing cards for all occasions. Dogs have always been a major part of my life. I have published my own dog magazine, written dog columns for a local newspaper's web site and major TV station web site, and conducted informational classes about dogs through the library system for over 25 years. I write poems about each one of my dogs. My biggest achievement was becoming a member of Mensa. Music makes me happy. I love to dance. Skating was my life when I was young. Adopting a rescue dog has given me a new start in life. He has taught me so much.

LITTLE GOLDEN NUGGETS


Goldwood puppies captured my heart and soul. These are only a few of the pictures I have left but they speak volumes. My poetry is very amateurish but I hope it presents some idea of how wonderful these little balls of golden fluff are and how they change your life forever.




















SAMANTHA'S GOLDEN COMET

You've come of age - a glorious golden three.
Behold this lovely young lady of 21 -
just like a bright, shiny penny!
We've shared so much in such a short time -
a myriad of tears and laughter.

What a team we are in the obedience ring
What fun we have tracking

You've taught me so much -
about life - patience - forgiveness.

What monumental heights we've achieved together -
one unbelievable new frontier after another!

How have I managed nearly four decades without you?
I love you, Samantha
My Golden Girl!
May your golden glow last forever.




















SAMANTHA

Like rare vintage wine, you become more precious each year.
You are the calm eye in the middle of the storm.
You are the light at the end of the tunnel.
You are faith and hope when all seems lost.

Just as the sands of time flow too swiftly through the hour glass of life
our bond becomes stronger
our understanding more compassionate
and only when we are together are we at peace with the world.

"Samantha" - Asked of God
You have answered my prayers.
Happy Birthday
