Officially a 3 Golden family now!!!
We adopted a new golden girl on Friday night. She was in our local newspaper for $50.00 and not the best situation. We took her home right then and there. She is 7-yrs old, obedient, healthy and just a sweetheart. We feel we hit the jackpot! She is fitting in well and my other girls welcomed her with no problems. Now if she would just not take THEIR woobies out the backyard with her, all will be good!!

Here are a couple pics.

No time for her, slept in the garage during the day, laundry room on a pillow at night. Didn't like the hair. Same old story.....

They are coming to see her this week, can't wait to show her in our living room and I will even try to get her up on the couch!

She won't come up the stairs because she was never allowed. I have to bribe her. All that will come in time. She doesn't need a leash, nothing. Very obedient and just a joy.

Look at that sweet gal! How wonderful you took her in and can show her how great life can be.

Hope she has another 7+ wonderful years with you!!

50$ is all she was worth to those people. Well, as they say "One man's trash is another's treasure."

What is amazing is that it is a normal, typical day....

Then Bam! We have a new dog in our family to call our own! It is just incredible what life throws you sometimes and we are thrilled that it has happened this way. Lets read the classified ads for a change in our paper, oh look, a golden for $50.00, lets go get her! Hubby agrees and the rest is history.

She is adorble and you can tell by those wonderful golden eyes how special and gentle this soul is!

I am so very happy for your family to get this new addition, hip hip hoooray!

She has an instant family that loves and cherishes her now. What more could she ask for. She looks so content like she just let out the biggest sigh in the world 'AHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh'

Welcome to your family, you've been waiting a long time!

Thanks Luba, makes tears come to my eyes. I just don't know if her family realizes how special this girl is. Their loss, believe me.

No they don't realize thats why you have her now and that being a good thing, a very good thing!

Wonder when they'll go out and get another one?
Thats what always bothers me, to think these dorks will actually get another dog one day!

Oh that is a sweet puppy dog, she is so lucky and will soon learn that stairs and couches are ok and maybe perk her up a bit she must have been depressed at her situation but she has all the reason in the world to be happy now.
Good for you and hubby for giving this ol gal a new chance at a happy house

Yay !!!!!CHEERS TO GOLDENMOM You really live up to your name.....lol
