After my vacation trip to the ocean in April (you can have fun with me in an earlier post that tells all about it!), I continued to enjoy life as an “only”! Here are a few pictures of me fulfilling all the needs my people could possibly want in a companion dog. I’m such a bundle of fun!
Come on – let’s play ball! Catch me if you can!
Let’s join the neighbors and all go for a walk.
Grandpa needs soothing. Petting me does it every time.
Mama works hard every day! I help her relax. I know how to do that!
Sometimes I hang out with the “Buddha Dog” in the golden garden.
MAMA BRINGS SIKA HOME
When Mama & Papa were in Sitka, they could not resist the chance to get a puppy related to me.
See what I mean?
Was I ever surprised when Mama brought this little furry ball to Ponderosa . . . into MY HOME! I was no longer an “only.”
While everyone exclaims how “cute” Sika is, Sika snuggles up to Mama and becomes a “mama’s girl.” Where am I?
And Sika is everywhere – just everywhere!
Mama told Grandma that I was a bit”grumpy.” Wouldn’t you be? Sika wants to play with my toys! Really?
Sika is winning the hearts of everyone. What am I going to do about her? She wants to be my friend!
I’m a grown-up now. Sika is still a puppy!
All right! We’ll be friends!
HAVING FUN WITH SIKA
I introduce Sika to Auntie Michelle & Uncle Karl.
My friend Sika is a real Golden Retriever!
We “Golden Girls” hope you have enjoyed your time with us. More “fun” to come!

What a lovely way to wake up! Spirit and Sika have a good life with many familiar faces in the mix of photos at the beach and at home. Thanks from Kathy and Vivian in Issaquah
Love the pictures.
Such a great read! Love the narrator’s “voice” and wow, what great photos! I’m going back to the beginning to read it all over and smile some more. Thank you!
