Photo above: Nala is keeping a close watch on the clock, waiting for Sunday morning to come! She is going on 13 years old and she intends to be the Queen of the Reunion. She has shed most of her old "Outdoor Dog" coat, she still has a heavy mane and some heavy fur on her butt and tummy that has not yet fallen to the brush. She is growing in her new "Pampered Golden" coat and she intends to celebrate her pampered life with her other rescue friends. She will be celebrating a new life, she is no longer confined to a run in the back yard, she now lives indoors and sleeps beside the bed like a real Golden Retriever should. Nala and hundreds more like her are the reason we celebrate once a year, they are the reason we work for the rescue.
It is now Friday, only two more days to struggle through before we get to go to the annual Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies Reunion Picnic. That's the annual GRRRRP, in case anyone was wondering.
Because the event had to be rescheduled, some may not be able to attend, but we still expect to see 150 of the Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies Alumni. It is our day to play, meet out old friends and celebrate our new lives. Many of us, like Nala, came from very bad circumstances, so it is wonderful to be able to enjoy our freedom and our day in the lake. It is our day to celebrate new lives, new beginnings and old friends.
Below, the start of the annual "Great Ball Toss", at 1:30 all of the participants are lined up on shore and balls with prize numbers on them are thrown, then we are all turned lose to claim our prize.

Oh Nala looks so pretty - almost like she's wearing a mink coat over her Golden coat!! (of course, we don't advocate fur, but you know what I mean!)
ReplyDeleteHave great fun at your party!! Wish I could go.
Mogley; We hope you have great weather and that you and all your Golden friends have a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteYou and your bi=peds do such a wonderful job all year that you deserve a wonderful fun filled picnic.

Mogley, I begged and pleaded with my humans to take me to the GRRR picnic, but they have a boring appointment back east here.
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to have a go at being an honorary Golden.
Remind the humans not to leave the camera behind this time! We all want pictures!
