Buddy, August, 2002

Ten years old, growing grey in the face. Cancer got the best of Buddy on September 17, 2003. Oh how I miss playing ball with him.

Fred Hangs Out on the Spa

Fred thinks the spa is just a platform for watching the birds and chipmunks, as well as general lounging. This shot was taken in the spring of 2002. Fred is about two and a half years old in this shot.

Fred Goes Shopping

This captures Fred perfectly. Totally relaxed, but ever alert. Such an expressive face. Taken in July, 2000, when Fred was about one year old.

Fire and Buddy

Getting these two guys to pose together was impossible. One, or the other, or both, would always be uncooperative. Buddy wants to go chase the ball. Fire just wants to go anywhere; he hated photo sessions.

Please Let Me In

"Please let me in. I'm just a puppy, and I'm all wet, and it's cold out here." Fire, somewhere around 8 months old, taken through the sliding glass door. (Photo by Patti.)

Scarlet Begonias

Like many golden retrievers, Scarlet loved playing ball. She was only three years old in this shot, but we lost her to lymphoma less than a year later. (Photo by Mark Reinhardt.)
