Uncomplicated thoughts: C.S. Lewis…”what snow’s made for.”
“Everyone begins as a child by liking the weather. You learn the art of disliking it as you grow up. Noticed it on a snowy day? The grown-ups are all going about with long faces, but look at the children and the dogs? They know what snow’s made for.” C. S. Lewis

Golden Brodie yips about furry Squirrel Day?!
Who knew that even these sometimes annoying, yet entertaining…bird feeder robbers have their own day? Yes…and here it comes since 2001… Squirrel Appreciation Day, January 21,2018.
Personally, the retriever in me love to chase these little fellers and have yet to get even close…man they can book. Paws up to all of them come 1/21.

Golden Brodie offers woof-woof about his “snow-nose”
My humans noticed my big golden nose turning pink…what they said…why? Well..
“Snow nose” or “winter nose” is the most common reason why a dog’s nose will change color. It will fade from black to brown or pink during the winter months. … Siberian Huskies, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Labs and Bernese Mountain dogs are the breeds where snow nose is most common.” Good stuff to know if you have one of the above breeds…pink is in and brown is out…during the winter months.

Uncomplicated Thoughts: Merry Christmas feeling all year
Lyrics of “Christmas Feeling”…golden wishes for you and yours…Merry Christmas!
I love that Christmas feeling
It does my heart so much good
Strangers I meet all seem like friends
And the world’s just a neighborhood
So here’s to the joy of Christmas
Here’s to the ones I hold dear
May you have that Merry Christmas feeling
All through a happy New Year

Golden Brodie sniffs winters edge
The cold weather just arrived and my golden dog-self celebrates every chilly moment we will experience…reminiscing about the winters I have rolled in… I wax-poetic in this moment.
“Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart.” ~Victor Hugo
Vic and I are down with “Old Man Winter.” Bring it!
Paws Up!
Golden Brodie yaps dirty paws
Well, yeah. I am one clean retriever. I get groomed each morning for 5 minutes…followed by a treat…I get a bath when needed with Oatmeal/Coconut Dog Shampoo…followed by a treat…and my paws get manicured every other week…nails trimmed often…with the required treat that follows.
So, you people are now buying shoes that look dirty and cost over $700 dollars?…say what? My golden heart loves you all…but really you should call me if you find yourself buying expensive dirty shoes… I’m just sayin’ Paws Up!
Golden Brodie sniffs out hurricane names 2017
Ok… my dog mind thought that each time a hurricane presented itself in the Atlantic…well…a bunch of people just decided on the spot what to name this horrible thing. But no…that’s so incorrect.
The World Meteorological Organization selects the names and the names are in rotation every six years…get it…rotation. Best part of this name game…any hurricane that is really nasty and destructive…that given hurricane name is retired…so goodbye Harvey. Prayers going out to all in the aftermath of Harvey and to those in the path of Hurricane Irma.

Golden Brodie Barks: Anheuser-Busch cans lifesaving water
I’m watching all of the people and their four-legged animals who have lost their home in Texas…nowhere to go right now as the Harvey rains continue and threat of the dams overflowing looms large. So, while these raging waters are causing catastrophic situations…there came bright lights of giving… golden moments. That’s right, all of the goodness that’s happening between humans is not being overlooked by this dog. So many folks have come to help. Example… Anheuser-Busch stepped up giving cans of water…that’s right not cans of beer but crystal clear drinking water.
Each year, Budweiser halts the beer making process to can water for emergency situations…so the much-needed water was waiting to help…and here comes Harvey and there goes the Bud Trucks to Texans in need. Now that is a golden plan. Drink up and be safe.
This retriever doesn’t drink beer…but if I did, I’d be throwing down a Bud to honor “This Buds for You.”
