Obesity is huge…Golden Brodie gives the scoop
Dang…did you know that obesity in dogs and cats is truly a problem…yeah…a life compromising situation for your pets? Well, here you go…read up…information is power right?!…The Association for Pet Obesity is ready to help.
I’m a retriever…I love to eat…I could chow down on anything…anytime of the day or night. However, I am golden blessed with my peeps and vet who keep me on a healthy track…but darn…could I get a bacon strip now and then…or perhaps a piece of that pizza?!?! Not in my house…paws up for staying trim and healthy.
Golden mantra: Reduce treats and increase exercise

Golden retrieves good news lemons
Sure…golden retrievers don’t drink lemonade but we do know a happy and golden undertaking when we see it. The great state of Utah just legalized lemonade stands and other businesses run by kids.
Who would ever think that necessary?!..seems odd…but now Utah kiddies no longer need a $30 permit to exercise their entrepreneur spirit…earning money to so such things as shoveling snow and setting up a lemonade stand. I’m clapping my paws together for these industrious kids…Utah’s state motto is “industry” and for those adults who passed a good golden rule law for “the Beehive State.”
Get ready to walk your dog to your neighborhood lemonade stand and support those golden kids. Good on ya!

Golden Brodie retrieves for you the Virginia State Flower and Tree
I’m a content and people pleasing golden…I try anyway…and today I am bringing you a present…a virtual flower and tree that are near and dear to my Virginia born heart…the Dogwood. The Dogwood is not only a treasured beauty but also the State tree and State flower for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Some say that at one time the Dogwood bark was also used as a mange treatment for dogs. A tree that keeps giving golden!
The treat is all mine to enjoy the flowers of the Dogwood in the spring and then their colorful foliage change in the fall. Love me some Dogwood.
