Arrival Story: After the death of my other golden, Natasha Baytop, and finding a good home for my husky-mix, i found an announcement in the local paper of a new litter of goldens and breeder had both parents. whitley's litter was an accident. her daddy broke out of his pin to get with whitley's mommy.
Whitley was the darkest in color, the largest, and the most calm female puppy. We spent six hours with her and feel in love.
Bio: Whitley is so smart and gentle. she has canoed with us, played in the gulf of mexico, and traveled across Ms, Ala, Fl, La, Texas, NM, AZ, CO, NC, SC, and TN. She lives to ride. She sits up and watches out the window. As we ride, I can shout out an animal that I see, and barks in her indoor voice. Now Bud and she have her own DVD player and watch puppy movies.
She would be a great assisted living dog. When I drop a pen, she will bring it to me. She will brace me if I need help getting up, and lead me in the direction of where I need to go.
For the Gold Ribbon Rescue, she won in an online auction the month of June for the 2008 Golden Calender. She had her own private photo shoot by a professional photographer, Kurt, as she jumped in the pool and lay in the sun with a stage mom telling her to smile as she held Whitley's favorite toy.

Favorite Dog Park: Diving into Danny Jackson Dog Park's pool and chasing Bud in my back yard!
I woke up to birthday songs, puppy playtime, and breakfast. Tonight my family made me a sweet potato and carrot birthday cake. I had to wait for it to cool down before I eat it. But oh was it good when I did.
My family is finally determining my food and skin allergies: feathers, turkey, soy, corn, rice. At least so far. Still going through the food trials. Next is eggs. After six years of paw lickings we finally find the problems. Don't let doctors tell you that you are just bored. IT WAS FOOD ALLERGIES for me.
Today I am five years old still full of energy and love for everything. Now I began my birthday celebration with a good chase around the backyard with brother Bud. Breakfast in my favorite bowl was three cups of lamb and rice. Plenty of Nylabones to gnarl, and tennis balls to capture and protect from Bud. My favorite toy, my big red bird, at my side as I spread out across both of your cushy dog beds and talk an hour nap.
Jump on in with booties and winter jacket is the way to go when your family travels across the Southwest in late December.
We drove to Stonewall, Tx and stayed the night in a nice tuscan style cabin with heater and woodburning fireplace by the bed. (absolute charming B & B) They lent us an extra dog bed that Bud loved and and I used the old bed. As the fire burned, the logs moved during the night and I got stared. I asked mom to move my bed next to hers and then I felt safe that nothing would fall on me. I made some new friends, Sophie, a standard poodle at the owner's home, and two dog friends next door.
The cabin had a little kitchenette to keep our food and they gave my family quiche and fresh fruit for breakfast. The bathroom had a jacuzzi tub which my mom and dad enjoyed.
The next morning we were off to Marfa, Tx through the Fort Davis mountains. Tell the TX DOT to put real grass or stepping stone in the pet rest area; we both got stickers in our paws that hurt my parents when they pulled them out. Once in Marfa we walked the streets with our family and looked at the Galleries. The temperature was warm and the wind was still. I played with some new dogs at the Arcon Inn B&B, and met many dog friendly people around town.
We headed out of town to Valentine, TX is see the only Prada store around. It was closed; it is always closed. They call it art. But I did not see anyone named art around.
We drove on the Truth or Consequences, NM and I lay by my parents who were soaking in the hot springs. It is too hot for me. We left the desert and headed into the mountain and played in my first snow. It was cold, fluffy, and perfect. I rolled and dove in to the snow. We met another dog who came to play in the snow too in the middle of the National Forest. Wild time.
