Tim and I invite you to turn the digital pages of SCRAPBOOK MEMORIES II that continues the story of Golden Retrievers in our family.
Our son Paul often jests that he was raised by Golden Retrievers! His brother Karl must agree, since they have enjoyed their own golden companions. We would like to share visual memories of these special dogs.
I would be remiss not to mention that their wives, Toni and Michelle share equally in this legacy.

KALA, SANDY,
TEDDY AND ROSIE
Karl and Michelle began their Golden journey with puppy Kala, who soon became part of the extended family. The lovely Sandy, a rescue Golden, joined Kala and flourished in her new home. Both frequently visited our Ponderosa and Edmonds homes to play with with Lacey.
THE PEACEABLE KINGDOM
NANOOK, GRETA,
SPIRIT & SIKA
Paul and Toni adopted their first Golden as a tiny puppy; Greta enjoyed hikes and outdoor adventures with their other two dogs: a Yellow Labrador, Nanook and a Rottweiler, Diamond.
Tim and Greta bond in Sitka.
The next Golden puppy was Spirit, who joined Greta. Spirit was indeed “spirited”, full of energy yet gentle with people!
When Paul & Toni moved from Sitka to Ponderosa, Spirit was the perfect companion for winter activities, and summer swims and hikes!
One summer the energetic happy Sika joined Spirit. She had mixed feelings about that at first, but Sika and Spirit became friends! Both dogs were gentle and loving with people of all ages!
Our Olson family, neighbors and friends have all enjoyed these Golden Retrievers. Toni & Spirit are out for a walk with neighbors and their dogs! We hope you have enjoyed the scrapbook photos!
