I would like to introduce my retrievers and myself. I have a few posts, but never properly introduced myself.

First of all, I would like to say big “Thank You” to all Forum members for the wealth of information available. I found this forum years ago, when I was searching for kidney disease remedies for my first GR Buddy. At that time, I was occupied with reading all the posts pertaining kidney problems. I found excellent suggestions here, which I brought up with my specialist in nephrology. Buddy passed away from kidney/heart failure 3 years later.

Now I have 4 dogs, 3 GR Gatsby, Rufus and Sheffy and 17 years old lab.
I rediscovered this forum again when searching around seizures topics recently. Again, I found wonderful advices here. Gatsby, my youngest one at the age of 4 had his first seizure this past December. It was really a long and scary to watch. The neurological assessment and MRI didn’t reveal any abnormalities. Now in June I almost forgot about the seizures, thinking it was probably one off, but yet he had another one just a week ago. This is a reminder I need to be careful around water and yet the water activities are his passion. A few pictures of my boys included.
All The Best to Everyone,

Welcome back. I am sorry that Buddy's illness was your original reason for finding GRF and sorry that it has been the reason for your return.
Our dogs become so much a part of our lives and our families that when they become ill we will search for anything which can possibly help them just as we would do for any family member.
Your fur family is simply lovely and I especially like the last photo of a very contented and happy golden drying off on a rock in the sun. Thank you for posting the photos:)

Welcome to you and your beautiful fur family.

I had teary eyes when I've read in another thread ( http://www.goldenretrieverforum.com...you-choose-goldens-why-your-breed-choice.html ) how they came into your life. Like my Buddy did to me, your Buddy opened your heart to goldens. I am glad that employ who was giving you permits issued 4 licenses even though limit is 3 there, it was employ's gift from one dog lover to another.

And Lola looks great, she doesn't even look like 17 year old. Hope you have a few more years with her.
