Crowd stoppers

[lynn wise]

Yesterday, we went into Ilkley for a jaunt. Needless to say the dogs went also. We were walking along The Grove ( the posh bit !!!) when outside Betties, we met another couple with their Golden---Sydney. It was grand, lots of waggy tails and smiles, fussys all round. People were stopping to ask if they could stroke them all, oohs and ahs from all quarters. A family group came along, french I think, and Papa got out the camera and merrily clicked away. It never ceases to amaze me what an impression this breed makes on people. Boy, don't you feel proud ?
We then went into Otley, same thing again, please may we stroke your dogs.? David and I were once again proud as Punch. What a joy these dogs are.

Agree with what you say Lynn, when I take my two out almost always someone makes a fuss of them. Infact if no one makes a fuss of them I dont know whos the most dissapointed me or them.

Yep we get the same response and always stop for a natter, much to Brad disappointment
He is always impatient and went to get moving again...
They are the best breed ever Well we would say that lol...

Hi Hope,
So very sorry to read about Krusoe, and that Solo is missing his friend. It definately isn't easy loosing a dear friend, I feel for you. I'm sure this situation doesn't get any better the older we get, we are still terribly sad about Timber. Having said that, without that happening, we wouldn't have met our wonderful Woody. For us. getting him so soon afterwards really helped to heal a gaping wound. Also, it gave Woody the home and love that he deserved, as with all these Rescue dogs.

We can't thank Jan enough for ringing when she did, think we must add Heart Mender to her many virtues.

Our two usually have people asking to stroke them, whilst on holiday we went to the local supermarket to get some shopping, when I came out I found crowd round our car all stroking Paddy & Lucy lapping up all the attention...

Hi Hope, and welcome

So sorry to hear of your loss of Krusoe. Most of us on hear know the heartbreak of losing a beloved friend. The kindest and most loving thing we can do, is to let them go with dignity and love, free from pain and knowing that they will live on in our hearts.
