~ Bailey ~
AKA - Bubba, Little Boy and Bubba Dude
Bailey was my very first golden and my introduction into the wonderful golden retriever world.
I flew up to Oregon to get him 07/07/07 and my entire world changed!
Bailey was my first show dog and introduced me to many amazing people that have became my friends and my mentors. I am forever grateful for the opportunities that he presented me with.
Bailey was also the reason the I became involved in my local community and met many more friends that I have today. People that I may have never had the pleasure of knowing if it weren't for him.
Bailey adored his people and everyone he met. He loved children and was fascinated by any babies he encountered.
Bailey loved to swim and loved our trips to the water whether it was the lakes or the ocean. He would bark at the waves in excitement and it always made my heart happy to see his joy.
Bailey and I got our therapy dog certification and visited a memory care unit and a convalescent hospital on many occasions. He loved visiting with the residents there and it was such a blessing to get to see the light he brought to everyone's eyes.
Bailey was the beginning of my beautiful life.

~ Elliott ~
AKA - Moosh face, Moosh dog and Lover boy
Elliott sits himself next to his mom’s bed each morning asking for permission to jump up for their snuggle time. After which he joins in a wrestle session with “Powder” his flame point kitty or his house mate GCH Meme CGC.
Elliott is a working mobility service dog as well as a Champion and Canine good citizen.
He accompanies his mom everywhere she goes and steadies her as she walks and helps her get up if she falls or has to kneel down to a low shelf or sit on the floor.
Mondays they “work” volunteering at their local Kaiser hospital. The first few hours they are in maternity where Elliott has charmed the staff with his good looks sweet personality and exquisite behavior. When his mom works and is safely seated he gets to make his rounds to his favorite staff for hugs and a few treats. Then he returns and patiently lays on his special handmade extra cushy quilt by mom’s door till break time.
At 10:00 they go down the elevator to the courtyard for a potty break and a little agility fun. Practicing up, over, off, jump, step, turn, and other fun stuff. Elliott’s favorite treat for a job well done is freshly sliced carrots. After that they work on the main floor greeting, directing and escorting members. He has several admirers that like to say hello.
Tuesday thru Friday mornings Elliott and his mom go fishing or bike riding or hiking or run errands. Tuesday and Thursday afternoon they pick up mom’s granddaughter from school and go play at the park with friends till dinner. Getting lots of pets and treats from the little ones and babies he so enjoys. On most weekends littermate CH An’a comes over and all together they all go camping in the redwoods and swimming in the eel river., Or to the snow in the winter.
An’a, Meme and Elliott usually sleep all cuddled together using each other for pillows. Which as you can imagine, is so cute.
Elliott is such an eager learner and loves training so much that his mom has him on the waiting list for a scent work class.
Elliott is a beautiful calm confident loving golden that has wonderful self-control extremely great judgement he has great bone, lovely dark soft eyes and has a wash and wear easy care coat
