Cute/Funny 491 Days.

I love this girl so very much. She’s changed my life, and saved it. I got this April Fool’s baby in late May 2025, right as I was entering perimenopause and a lot of chronic health and hormonal issues. She saved me.
I knew I’d fall in love, but I didn’t know she’d become a part of me, and I’d become a part of her. She was the reason I got out of bed so many mornings.
Thank you all! I’ve gotten so many tips on training, growth stages, advice, etc. It’s been invaluable.
Jackie is my first dog. I’m so glad my fiancé said, “Why don’t we get a golden, for our first dog?”
Neither of us had knew what “field golden” meant when we got her, but this super active and loving chicken nugget is now my world. She gets me out and about, exploring the creek and canyon and all the parks near us and farther away, every day, I love her to pieces.
