My Golden boys for my Golden Years

Wonderful companions indeed, beautiful dogs there and great photo of the three of you! :cool2: What are their names?
 
They are beautiful dogs, and all the Golden Retrievers I've ever met have been wonderful, joyful, affectionate dogs. My friend used to have one that was so happy to see you he would just about knock you down if you didn't see him coming and have time to brace.

Do they sleep up in bed with you? My friend's dog did, and she said he always hogged the bed -- she even got a bigger bed because of him.
 
Thanks everybody! Their names are Kasey..on the left, and Sammy on the right. Yeah.. when my wife gets up out of bed at 6:30 to get ready for work, both these big dogs and our cat Quigley get up on the bed and sleep with me. They really enjoy the closeness that we have for each other. Kasey, the older dog follows me wherever I go in the house and yard and I enjoy his company. I just so wish that they could talk to me!
 
I stopped having pets when my cat died about 3 years ago. I have had many cats and dogs over the years and each time when one of them died, it took me a long time to get over the loss, so I decided enough was enough. But, when I go to my relatives and friend's homes that still have pets, I give them all the attention that they can handle. My daughter has a Golden retriever or a Yellow Lab, I forget. And my son has a bunch of cats and one dog. Then, I have several friends with all kinds of animals that I love to play with. I have a friend in the country that owns a small hobby farm. He has two Pygmy Goats and two Alpacas. I go to visit them, but my friend thinks that I am there to see him.

You have two beautiful dogs.

I think Kasey and Sammy love each other as much as they love you, it's great when they get up in bed and sleep with you, or just hang out in bed with you during the day, my pets have always done that too. I see a lot of Goldens at the park and they are all well behaved and even tempered. Yours look very well groomed too, very well cared for. It would be great if they could talk to us, I often wish that especially if one on them is acting like their a little bit under the weather.
 
Beautiful golden Labs...beautifully groomed, and healthy looking dogs, and you can tell in their eyes they are very happy too... It's a lot of hard work, but it's so worth it in the love and devotion they give back...
 
Ruth n Jersey - Thanks for asking to see our beloved cat Quigley. We rescued him as a kitten from a feral mother. He didn't have siblings for very long, so he had a wild streak in him that gradually went away. And boy, is he a talker! You can ask him things, and he will answer with his crazy meows. He's now 8 years old.

They are beautiful, but every dog is beautiful.

I know what you feel. It gets harder with every loss. However, there is a dog, a cat as well, who wants to be your dog and your cat. They're siting frightened and lonely at a pound or humane society, or maybe on the street. They don't care whether you're rich or poor, young or old, fat or thin; they don't care if you smell bad; they only want to love you.

Here's another beautiful dog.

Fishmounter ,great photo of Quigley. He is one contented looking cat although he looks a bit annoyed because you took his picture. Nice that you rescued him. All our cats and dogs were rescued.
 
Fishmounter, I'm late to the thread. Those are two beautiful Goldens and cat, and the Daddy isn't bad looking either. Came looking for yellow cats and found your thread instead.

I love all animals, especially cats. I am 75 now and have decided when the ones I have pass on I will not replace them. As of now, the youngest will be 16 when I am 90 and that is cutting it too close. I don't want my daughter to be stuck with them or having to put to sleep. I don't want them adopted out because many people treat pets like expendables and get rid of them (I'm moving, new partner doesn't like, lost my job etc etc). And the no-kill shelters don't have time to give them lots of loving.
