Gina, I hope it is ok to
share this birthday note with the Brierpups list! Although Jake is not a Brier baby by “name”…
he is one of Gina’s “grandkids” & Gina was the “co-breeder
of record” with the AKC. Gina
was also VERY instrumental in me getting my special boy. I could go on & on
how Gina helped me and mentored me!
She was & always has been – much more involved with his life
after his “puppy go-home date”, than his breeder has ever
been! I thank doG
each & every day that I met Gina – as I’ve learned so much from
her! And yes, one day I WILL have a
Brier puppy! Following is a note I
shared with another Golden List: ************************************************************************************************************
Happy 7th Birthday to our wonderful baby boy
– Jacob-Riley! Since
I’m only back to work part-time for 2 weeks, I got to come home &
spend the afternoon with my Birthday Boy!
He got his new “plush-squeaky-tennis ball” and loves
it! We have been playing retrieve
big time! He got his 7th Birthday cupcake with candle &
party hat & it was hard to keep this “hyper” boy down! We had to put the other 3 kids behind
the baby gate in the hallway until we finished with Jake, as we wanted to keep
“World War Golden” at bay!
I then took him outside to play fetch with his regular tenny balls while
Rick gave the other 3 their cupcakes! The photo attached is of Jake doing his favorite
“nursing” routine – only this time with his new big stuffed
tenny ball! (he looks almost
“possessed” in this photo!)
J Anyhow, we are blessed everyday with having this goofy
golden in our lives! He changed my
life in 1997 when I fulfilled my 20 year dream of finally getting a golden
retriever… he came home to live with me the exact day he turned 7 weeks
old. There is not a day that goes by that I am not so truly thankful for this
boy – he is my absolute heart & soul puppy! My involvement with goldens & rescue
early on after getting Jake, is part of the reason that I met his Daddy,
Rick! Golden Hugs, Yanna & Rick Jacob-Riley (oh, I LOVE my birthday!!!) Chelsea, Austin & Michelob too (who got birthday yummies
too!) Note: please indulge
me with a just a few more birthday pictures! J
