And when your Golden's life ends, the loss is profound. Four Goldens Press is named for the dogs who have graced my life and who continue to inspire me. Apple, born in 1978, was our first Golden Retriever. Four years later, her daughter, Sally, was born. When Apple died in 1988 we brought Sandy home, partly to relieve Sally's grief.
Abbey is our newest.
Sally, remarkable Sally, was almost fifteen. Sandy was only eight and had cancer. Our whole family was devastated. I'm planning to continue the series in order to produce a calendar for the year 2000. If you or your group have photos of your Goldens you'd like to submit, I'd be happy to consider them for the calendar.
