Honey and Butter

Our two newest fosters are settling in and getting acquainted.   Honey and Butterscotch arrived last night, much to our surprise.  When the chauffeur left with Abby, we thought Abby was just going to inspect a possible Forever Home.   Not only did Abby get her Forever Home, but we have two new house guests.  Honey is a curly coated female, about 3 years old, Butter is a smooth coated female, about 2 years old.  Both are very well behaved, both are large Golden's, 65-70 pounds, both are very well trained.  Someone has invested some time in obedience classes for these two.   They are well bonded and they will be placed as a team.    We don't have their history yet, but we will share it as soon as we find out how such wonderful dogs came to be in rescue.    Below, Honey checks out the Koi pond early this morning. 

Below, Butter surveys her new world.  She wanted to take an early morning swim but when told "No", she decided against it, for the moment. 

Our impressions of them to date is that although they are a team, they are also double threat Velcro dogs.   They love people, they are always seeking attention and since there are two of them they keep both hands busy petting.   They do obey well, when told no, they freeze.   When they arrived they had choke collars on and both were coughing, apparently from being reigned in.   Golden Retriever Rescue sent us new collars, we put the break-away collars on them and had no problems walking them on a leash.   That part is a little baffling.    They may have been overstimulated in transit and been hard to control, but they are relaxed and in control this morning.   Below, Honey shows her beautiful curls. 

It can be a little confusing, Butter looks so much like Bella that there have been several cases of mistaken identify.  Below, all four of us sit for our morning treat. 

We will be asking for your help to find new homes for these two outstanding Golden's.  How they came to be in rescue may be a mystery to us, but it is no mystery that they will be wonderful additions to someones life and home.  Stay tuned for further developments!
