Golden Retrievers, The universal symbol of Love and Happiness.

Today I was greeted by one of the greatest sights I have witnessed in a while.  Two ladies that were, oh I’d say mid-forties, walking two of the biggest Golden Retrievers I have seen next to Bo.

I had been warned that they all look the same….and you know they do! 

This one in particular, was a huge specimen.   He was a dark golden color with all the fluffies around his un-groomed feet,  flopping along doing his best muppet impersonation.  His grey face was a decoration that did not give credence to his otherwise youthful actions.   I stopped my truck and complemented them both on having such wonderful dogs.  The happiness in their puppy faces were contagious as they sat at their masters command and just watched.  It is truly something I have not felt in my heart since the last time Bo looked at me.

I thanked them both for bringing them out for a walk today because it was something I really needed to see.   I know now why God makes them to resemble so closely to each other.   It’s for people like me that have lost their Golden .  

I was always taught that God gives and God takes away……. well, today I believe, God gave back.     I was given a look back in time… at how it was when my Golden Retriever looked at me with those eyes, that only a Golden has.

Once again, the whole world made just a little more sense, because of a look from someone’s faithful companion.   The owners were so proud of their dogs.  The dogs were proud of  having a home and masters. 

And me?   I was proud of Bo.  I was very proud of having been part of the Golden Retriever experience.

It was a great day and I feel very blessed.

See ya next time……………………
