We can’t believe that summer is really here, big time! Weather has been hot and humid and we have all promised not to complain after this past cold snowy winter that never seemed to end. We have skipped spring! May was a bummer as poor Snowdon had tummy and ear twitching problems on and off…

Is this the golden Easter bunny???? No, it’s just the cutest picture ever of my buddy Shilo! Hope this photo keeps you HOPPIN’ with smiles! We have gone suddenly from the COLD and SNOW of CHICAGO to an Easter Sunday that is soooo warm we don’t even need coats! Snowdon and I are actually PANTING…

I have a good as golden buddy in Toronto, Canada. His name is Shilo. Before I was born, my folks went to visit Shilo and his family, and they told all about how wonderful it is to have a golden retriever. It was Shilo who helped make my life happen! Shilo loves stuffed toy birds…
