“Happiness is not having a lot. Happiness is giving a lot.” Buddha
Pathway
Stay your path…
“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.”
– Henry David Thoreau
Golden Brodie barks: Amelia, where are you?
Well…the four are searching… wearing booties to protect their paws from 80 degree ground temperatures, hundreds of thousands of coconut crabs and sharp volcanic rock fragments. Sound like fun? Yeah, these well-trained dogs are doing their job and going for the find of their dog lives.
These dogs can hunt! Seriously…hoping they find the remaining bones of Amelia so we can put her to rest in our hearts and minds…that would be a golden moment for all.

Uncomplicated thoughts: sense of change
“The only sense that is common in the long run, is the sense of change and we all instinctively avoid it.” E. B. White
Dog heroes..it’s about blood…
Here I am…a golden retriever…learning so much…but never enough. Well, I just found out that I have only a limited number of years…that’s right six or less years to donate my blood…yeah…my dog blood. Who knew?!
I have also learned that human blood banks go to all time lows during the summer months...yeah the beach…the mountains…the vacation time…ya’ll forget during this time to donate…hey…it happens. Just consider giving some blood before the running around fun time sets in. So, lay down and give…Now that’s a golden good thought!
A big thanks to Huffington Post for this informative post and touching video.
