Paws For a Bit, Goldens

What would I do without friends?

I've been blessed with wonderful friends - I thank God for them often!

When I posted that didn't have a good idea for a golden retriever card

a great friend of mine messaged me with an idea.

She suggested something about "The Golden Rule"

I thought about it, either too much or not quite enough, 

- haven't quite figured that out yet -

but I went ahead and sketched out my idea...

The Golden Rule: "Treat other people the way you would want to be treated."

The Golden Retriever has gifted his people with presents of bones, fire hydrants, tennis balls, 

a perfectly grilled steak on a silver platter and what seems to be the cat wrapped up...

Don't be distressed if you don't get it... my husband and my friend were a bit stumped about it too:

"I didn't get it until you explained it."             "Nah, you're working too hard for the joke." 

So, after a further suggestion by my wonderful friend, 

I had a more simplified idea to sketch...

I was ready to go with it, but then my sister made an additional 

suggestion that created a new take on the idea in my head!

"Thank you again for all that you do,

I hope one day I can do the same for you!!
