Looking South

Not all Golden Retrievers have had the life of "Riley", and one reason is that their name is not "Riley".

So any old way, my stories continue. As you must remember from my last post I am a twelve year old Golden Retriever named Riley. I have had just about the best life any guy in my position could possibly have. Again, I am still living in the glitzy city of Scottsdale, AZ. and I absolutely love my backyard. When I am not swimming laps in my swimming pool I am laying on the pool steps watching the cottontail bunnies try to dare me to come after them. The thing is that I am no fool!!!! I know when life is good and when I decide to chase after dear Peter, it will be because I am good and ready and it will be on my watch.

The picture you see on this post is one of me and my bro Doug. He and I have always, always thought alike. We even have very similar mannerisms. When Doug comes to visit me, we always have the best time just hanging out. Here we are just laying on the grass chatting about life in general. Doug also has a good life. Too bad he lives in California because we could share more moments like this. But, I understand that he needs to get an education. Well, actually I don't understand that. In my mind just about everything you need to know to get along in the world comes from walking down the alley next to my house. Hmmmm......that is another story for another day.

So back to the picture of me and Doug. We are laying here telling jokes and laughing a lot...dog am I happy!!!! This day we talked as we watched a Mockingbird fly North and then fly South. We just keep laughing as we turn our head back and forth. What a lazy afternoon. What a fabulous afternoon. I actually will never forget this day with Doug. Gosh, I even think our profiles are alike. All is well and I love my Dog....oops my Doug!!!!!
