Some things change
Some stay the same

 Raykist Star Crowned Donovan JH, WC

March 1, 1992 - March 25, 2003

Donovan had a hemangiosarcoma tumor removed from his spleen soon after my Mom left for a nursing home. He had a wonderful 4 months of celebrating life by playing with puppies and running - something he loved to do. According to my Mom's caretakers, her "boys" were with her during her last year. I'm sure Donovan was among them.

We always thought Lucas wasn't too bright. However, when he was finally the last one left of the old boys, he came into his own and we discovered that he really wasn't so dumb! After all, he did manage to live a life of leisure and avoided having to do any of that horrible obedience training like the other boys!

Morgan suffered from severe hip dysplasia and a severe thyroid problem. He loved to swim and "fish" on our beach. He would spend hours everyday swimming and that probably extended his life by building muscle and taking a lot of pressure off his hips.

Moki The Merry Menehune CDX
(Am. ptd.)

June 29, 1971 - September 26, 1974

"Moki the Merry Menehune was our first Golden. He was a bundle of fur when he came into our lives at 5 1/2 weeks of age. He grew into a beautiful fellow and was a gentleman to everyone he met. He had come into his own in obedience. In getting his CDX he had taken two first places in his class and one second. He was ready to go into utility when he was suddenly taken ill. Moki will long be remembered by his family and friends for his happy disposition and willing nature, his devotion and trust. '...that you would have to go some day we knew. But oh, not yet, not yet.' "

Moki died at just over 3 years of age from a toxic reaction to excessive amounts of a worming medicine administered to him by a veterinarian.
