Sam here...
 |
| Photo of me, just if you forgot what me look like... |
Sam taking over his blog. Again. Is my blog after all...
Sam seriously considering firing his secretary. Again. She not updating my blog like she should. Something about taxes and being tired and site visits to parks. Which me and brother Monty have not been able to go to. Sam keeping notes of this.
Yes, we have been lagging behind in blogging. ...and we have stories to share with you and updates that need to be put together. Let's start with Monty's big day!
What was Monty's big day? A walk at Tempe Town Lake with our friends from
AZGRC!
We also had some friends join us - Samantha and Avalon came up to walk
with us. Thank you, Miche and Bill, for making the drive!
To be honest, we weren't sure if Monty would be joining us for his day. He had trouble waking up!
 |
| Five more minutes, Mom? |
Of course, when you get this many Golden's together you know this has to be the happiest place on earth!
 |
| Samanth and Avalon are in the front, and yes - we had a few guests with us! |
Are you ready? Here we go!
 |
| Monty.... |
 |
| Heading out - thank you Miche for letting me use some of your photos! |
It was a beautiful day to walk by the lake. We weren't the only ones out enjoying the day!
 |
| I wonder if Monty would like one of these? |
 |
| I think Avalon wanted to swim with them! |
Monty had a little accident....
 |
| Ooof! |
Okay, I'm just kidding - he is demonstrating his weird way of walking in grass. Partly to get his Halti leader off and partly because he likes grass. Which, by the way, we don't have in our back yard anymore because of this... He'd walk the whole way like this if I'd let him.
 |
| Schmooorrrff.... |
It was great to see our friends again!
 |
| Sam and Avalon wrestling. |
 |
| CJ in pink and Simon in blue... |
...and a few new friends...
 |
| ...and yes, we were having a party! |
 |
| Big smiles! |
Some of the dogs even got to wet their toes in the lake!
 |
| Walk and water? These Golden's were happy! |
I'm also very proud of Monty! He can be a bit silly around other dogs, but he behaved himself well!
 |
| Monty and me! |
We had such a wonderful day! We can't wait for the next "Cruise the Valley" event with AZGRC!
 |
| What a wonderful group of pups and people! |
Wow...looks like a great time was had by all.
ReplyDeletePeeS...If you find a new secretary, please ask if she has a furiend. I think I need a new secretary too.
:)
Well that looks like a super great time. So much Golden Fun! Glad to see ya all again.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Goose
Tell your Mom I know exactly how she feels--I think if I weren't the cook in this house, I think our crew WOULD have fired me!!! I'm glad you're finding time to have some fun though, that always makes up for it!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Saturday!!
What a great time you all had. Yikes you mentioned the Halti! NOOOOOO! I used to have one but likewise kept trying to rub it off. Peeps gave up. She now has long arms. Have a super Saturday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Sorry to hear about the workers slacking off Sam! Make sure you tell your secretary to enter you in the TWO contests we have going on right now! One is for Mom, One is for You!
ReplyDeleteSeems like a lot of us anipals are having staff problems...my momz was AWOL for a week but we woofed about it and I've got her back on track now..Looks like a fun pawty...was it mardi paws?
ReplyDeleteHi Sam and Monty!! Secretary??? What's that?!? We'd LOVE to walk with a pack of goldens - or at least Bart would - They are his favorite breed to play with!
ReplyDeleteNice to see you! Have a fun weekend!
-Bart, Ruby and Otto
Don't be too hard on your secretary, Sam. It's a tough job.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your blog to tell us about Monty's big day.
That was ... ALMOST.. too much fun!
ReplyDeleteSam, good secretaries are hard to find! I feel your pain. Still, I think you might want to keep the one you've got and hire an assistant.
ReplyDeleteMonty, your big day out looks like tons of fun! I'm glad you woke up in time to go out and enjoy your big day! It's good to see Sammie and Avalon, too!

Looks like you guys had a good time! We know all about slacking secretaries - we are LUCKY if Mom posts once a week. Something a "work" and "having to make dinner" and (can you get this excuse?!?) "taking you on walkies". Really. Our Mom needs to get her priorities straight. We have yet to go to a funballs dog party.

Wowza that looks like one fantastic day!!
ReplyDeleteLove Milo :)
Looks such a great time AND brilliant weather...lucky you. Love all the photos especially the final Group one...so lovely to see you all together like that.
ReplyDeleteThat was a fantastic day out! Love the Grass Walking.
ReplyDeleteWe understand the secretary bit, it's so hard to get good help.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
I've been wondering where you got to. Taxes will sap the energy out of anyone.
ReplyDeleteLove that Monty walks like that! Georgia does it sometimes too, but not all the way LOL. Itchy cheeks. Looks like Spring has arrived in your part of the world. All that sunshine. Sure could do with some here x
How fun how fun!!! I know exactly where you were because I went to ASU. I can't remember if I shared that with you once or 8 million times or what not. How beautiful to see it again. What a wonderful time you guys must have had! Sometimes the secretaries need some time off, mine took off for like 3 months. IMPOSSIBLE PEEPS.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, guys, don't feel lonesome, we got that same problem here, Moms soooooo busy at wotk because of tax time and Dad's job has him working like 87 hours a week, so we need a new typest also!

If you want a job done right, Sam, you just have to do it yourself!
ReplyDeleteMonty and my sister walk the same way. Never seen anyone else do that till now. As long as your having fun that's all that matters.
ReplyDeleteWe love that picture of you having a hard time waking up, Monty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great time you had with Sammie and Avalon!
Love ya lots,
Mitch and Molly
Looks like a great day indeed!
ReplyDeleteIt's difficult keeping up with the blog at times and it seems we've been busier than ever in January and February. I'm sure when the summer heat sets in we'll have more inside time to blog.
Sure looks like a lot of fun. I need to find a new secretary as well.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteNola
Great post! Don't get rid of your secretary just yet.
ReplyDeleteAll those obedient GOLDENS in one spot -

ReplyDeleteOH so many goldens in one post. My Vicke's heart was so happy.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found my new site, but it seems that it didn't solve the problem. We are still ending up in some bloggers spam.

ReplyDeleteMollie and Alfie
I'm glad Monty woke up sufficiently enough to participate. Perhaps you might try clicker training your secretary, I've heard they're quick learners. :-)
ReplyDeleteI sympathize with you Sam, I need a new secretary too:) That looks like it was a GReat meet up.
ReplyDeleteHi guys,
