Still “Bailey’s Grandma,” and now “Marley’s Momma💙”

Feeling very blessed. Lost my two Golden’s, Gunner in 2017 and Dublin in 2019, both of whom needed to be re-homed and I was the Lucky one to adopt them. They were both wonderful for the 5 & 8 years I had them!! I enjoyed the hairless existence not vacuuming daily for 4 years until the last 6 months when I felt I was ready, longing for a dog again, but being a “Golden Snob,” I kept holding out for a Golden but was tempted by a few Husky’s.
Absolutely out of the blue, through a past co-worker and my daughter (Bailey’s Mom), the co-worker’s family member finally came to the decision they needed to re-home a Golden his grandmother gave him. She purchased the dog as a puppy, after 3 weeks was overwhelmed, and passed him on to her grandson who managed until this past Saturday. With a two-year old first child, both working full-time jobs and two dogs under one years old, they knew they were stretched too thin & Marley wasn’t getting the attention he needed. Disheartened and puzzled over “how in the world will we find anyone who wants a young Golden,” (is he crazy!!??) when his mother-from-another said “Oh, I know who!!” And she contacted my daughter. In less than 24 hours from their decision to re-home, I came to met the dog and he’s BEAUTIFUL and they were crying as “I was PERFECT!” No….I’m BLESSED!! For the 3rd time in 12 years I’ve been able to adopt for free a purebred Golden. 💙💙💙Meet Marley, 10 months old!! He’s wonderful, gentle, smart enjoys our playtime, always touching or following me and loves our daily walks. Not even my dog for 48 hours and I’ve spent $300 in supplies and toys for him! Loved, not spoiled. And his previous family will always have “visitation rights and written invites to meet us at Bark in the Park every year 💙🐾🐕🦴. Going to fight against Marley picking up bad habits from my daughter’s 18-month old Golden, Harlow, when I dog sit for a week at the end if the month!!😡😮
