We're also overjoyed that they came to live with you and we are also overjoyed that you are sharing them with us!. It's always so much fun to read about your girls and how they each have their own personality and quirkiness.
Miz Blossom:
she can burp with the best of us! ..........
She's a good sized girl but not fat, just normal Golden Retriever "buffed." She'll need to get used to a wagon or a cart. Much less tiring and gives her an opportunity to go "styling." No since hoping when you can ride in style.
Love this gal!!!
Daisy....sounds like you and your Dad are two peas in a pod
She walks beside me really well and, much like me, she often wants to wander away.
I l0ve that she is becoming more and more the dog she was born to be. You and Cindi are the perfect hoomans for her.....for all of your dogs for that matter!😎
Dusty ad Rosy..just being Dusty and Rosy....because they can😎
The two of them have a good 2 to 3 hard play times with Dusty every day. It keeps him young and very vocal! Rosy, of course, wouldn't be caught playing with other dogs. Only when she sets the rules and which ball and where and when it starts
Always have a smile on my face when reading about your pack. Thank you so much for sharing these special pups with us.
Hugs

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Here's da picture of d'girls!
Please notice Miz Blossoms newest fashion statement! The upswept right ear!
Now THAT is pretty darn cute!
Those girls look way too grown up. What happened? How time is flying by!!!
Miz Blossom is definitely stylin' her model good looks for the photo!😎 Then we have Daisy with "the camera loves me" look.🥰
Agree with Jerry, they really are growing up fast. Always fun seeing their photos as they grow from puppies to youngsters.

If it's early June in the Bay Area, that means the NASCAR's coming to town!
Whoo Hooo!!! We really enjoy going to the races! Breathing in all the exhaust and burnt rubber smells, and, they're loud enough to be heard in San Francisco, 40 miles away! (don't know if that's true but hopefully it helps to make the point of how LOUD they are!) And, sharing all that with 47,000 other people!
And just think, the Drag races in July are even better!!
I bought our tickets on the computer and when I finished, I told Cindi, OK, we're going! Put the computer away and we walked out front door...
When I turned around, her comes Daisy carrying her leash, all she heard was "going."
Now, what am I supposed do?????
Oh Daisy!! No way they could leave you behind! This is jist too precious!!! Bringing you the leash herself so,you don't have to go back into the house to get it....brilliant!
So I guess you sold your tickets quickly, turned around, grabbed the leash and took Daisy on a walk and then trip to the Pet Store...right?

Good girl, Daisy, don't let 'em leave you so they can go have all the fun. I'll bet they make a good set of doggie ear plugs so you can go too! 
Well, it's been 18 months since "The Girls" moved in. It's their 18 month "Birthaversary!"
To say they have changed our lives in a major way is a bit of an understatement. It's been fun and tough watching them grow up, although I'm not sure they're full grown yet. They're almost always up to something, Daisy is usually the instigator and Miz Blossom is almost always caught in the middle of it.
Daisy's as solid as a rock, built like a truck. She'll take a toy, lower her head and she's gone. She's very good at getting away. Quick on her feet and very agile! She glides around our futile efforts to catch her, then I swear I can hear her laughing at us!
Miz Blossom is, how would I say, a bit ditsy. She's like Lah dee dah, Lah dee dah. Her attention span is not short, there's just many new things to do and discover! She has a perpetual puppy face, full of excitement and wonder.
When we put the girls in the backyard in the morning, they gang up on poor Dusty. They're growling, barking and rolling around. Sometimes Dusty and Blossom have Daisy on the ground. 2 seconds later Blossoms on the ground. Teeth showing, jumping about here and there. Then oh, it's water break time. Rosy will not, ever, take place in such foolishness and she stays at least 10 feet away, watching their every move.
A very happy dog is how I would define Miz Blossom. Daisy has a quiet confidence about her. They are very protective of each other, after all they've been together their whole lives.
I hadn't had a puppy since 1977 and Cindi had never had one. That's why it's hard to watch them grow. On one hand you want them to stay a puppy always...ON THE OTHER HAND, puppies can be very tiring and overwhelming! But oh so cute!
WOW! I can't believe it's been so long Jack! I remember so clearly when you brought them home, slightly envious and also thinking "Are they NUTS?!" lol! Just kidding.
They are such a great team, and so good for the entire pack. Life is just better with all of the pupperz! I can't wait to see them in person eventually, and will make it a goal not to let 18 months go by!
She glides around our futile efforts to catch her, then I swear I can hear her laughing at us!
I'm sure she is laughing and enjoying every second of your inability to try and reclaim her toy. Keep on being Daisy, Daisy😎😎

Such a delightful way to take on each day. Mix Blossom understand the bliss of being dog🥰
Rosy will not, ever, take place in such foolishness and she stays at least 10 feet away, watching their every move.
Awww Rosy, you are clearly a wise Sage and know how to stay above all the puppy ridiculousness. 👍
Sometimes Dusty and Blossom have Daisy on the ground.
Way to go Dusty!! You can give back as good as they give!😉
So much fun sitting on the sidelines as you share all the shenanigans of Daisy, Blossm and Rosy too. You and Cindi could never have a "bad" day with theee four around creating a new adventure every day for you enjoyment........probably more like every hour.😜
I love, l0ve, love these pictures. I remember the one when uou jad Cindi picked TWO to bring home! My goodness, impossible to leave one behind!
Great picture of .....is that Daisy....taking the toy from Blossom??
The picture of the love pile is precious.♥️♥️
Thanks wo much for sharing their Birthaversary👏👏

After 16 months, the house renovation is DONE! No mud in the backyard!! The herds going to the groomers!!!!
Cindi found a wonderful groomer nearby that works out of her home. Dusty and Miz Blossom were the first to go. Dusty had been to the groomers before, but Miz Blossom had never been. She was more than a bit weary of what we were getting her into. Groomer called about 10 minutes later, Miz Blossom was good, not to worry.
They looked great when we picked them up. They were so soft and smelled good. As soon as walked in the house both of them found a place to take a nap. Hey, it's hard work being that handsome and beautiful!
Next day it was Rosy and Daisy turns. Rosy was being her typical sometimes difficult sometimes sweet self. Daisy wanted no part of it. She sat down and wouldn't move. Groomer looked at us and said, "she a very strong dog!" She called 20 minutes later, don't worry everything's fine. I think she got 10 pounds of fur off of Daisy, or she shrank! Couple of hours later we picked them up, they also looked beautiful!
The groomer has a very sweet, calm but firm way of talking and working with the girls.
Wooohoo! Just in time to host the next Tripawds gathering right?!
What a great way to kick off summer.
OK now we want a group photo! Better catch all the doggos before they somehow get muddy and messy again (cause they always do right?!).
I love a clean dog. Now I think I'll go bathe Nellie. She says "Thanks Jack!"
Clearly your grommer was enthrall3d with your pack. To have four "family memners" in less than 24 hours,pretty darn special.😎 I like that the Groomer called to let you know everything was A-OK.

Agree!! We'll be waiting........

Yeah, I know, Miz Blossom is cute, and she's only got like 3 and half legs, and she dances better than me, and seems to get a bunch more treats than me. She also does that, over the shoulder, poor, poor pitiful me look purty good! That's right dad, I seen you sneaking her an extra tater chip or 2.
Miz Blossom has also taken it upon herself to be the official "wake up mom and dad no later than 2 minutes after the sun has come up, dog." And, the "who plays with who in the back yard, how long and how much growling will be tolerated, monitor." The nerve...
She goes out front, without a leash, to help dad "work on stuff." I don't think a lot gets done out there. Mom says he "putters" around. He washes his motorcycle and dries it with a leaf blower and a polishing cloth. Electricity and water close together, yeah, he do need a bunch of watching. She must be doin' a good job, he ain't electrocuted his self yet...
All that may be good, but I found a way to control who and when and if they go outside.
She who CONTROLS THE DOOR, pretty much controls everything. And guess what! I do! And, I look fabulous doin it!
The end, by Daisy, the "by one day younger", baby sister.
DAISY!!!! You are cracking ,me up over here!!😂😂😂
She who CONTROLS THE DOOR, pretty much controls everything. And guess what! I do! And, I look fabulous doin it!
That Miz Blossom thinks ahe rules the roost....not so! You mailed it by controlling the door! Yes, you look adorable and fabulous as the door guard!
Electricity and water close together, yeah, he do need a bunch of watching. She must be doin' a good job, he ain't electrocuted his self yet...
Not funny.......but funny!!! Yes, your Mom is doing a good job watching over him. Shhhhh.......give men some toys and they can get a case of stupid-itis sometimes. Shhh..... dont tell your Dad I said that, but you can tell your Mom.
sneaking her an extra tater chip or 2.
Dont worry about Miz Blossom getting that extra chip. Once she starts getting fat she'll have to go on a diet and she'll hate it!
Thanks for let4ing is know how things are going.....and thank you for your sense of humor Daisy🤣🤣
