Thanks, I needed that! Here's Jake. He's named after the boy Jake in Stephen King's Dark Tower series. He's been gone for two years, but his pictures make me smile. :)

This is Bear with his stick of the day. And in his bed with "stolen" couch pillows.

I graduated in 1976 from East Fairmont High School in WV. My dad bought me a blue 1966 Oldsmobile F-85 for $300. I added an 8-track player. :)

My pup relocates couch pillows. And yes, those are record albums in the cabinet on the left. :)

Here's my pup, Bear, a few days ago. One of my neighbors came out to say that Bear is their smile for the day. BTW, I had a dog named Tuffy when I was a kid. :)

Goldens are beautiful pups and really good tour guides (as long as you're OK staying in one spot while they get their fill of pets). Here's my golden (also named Bear) about 15 minutes after getting a new stuffed toy.

Here's another one I ran across. This was Easter 1963. Enjoy!

Haha. What is it with these big pups who think they're lapdogs?

Here's one for your collection (this is the first pic I've attached in a message, so I'm hoping it works!). This is "Stumpy" in 1954. The story my grandma told was that Stumpy got his tail caught in a door when he was a kitten. Pretty sure he was a yellow tabby.
