Name: Darcy

   Friendship Darcy Makena is our newest Golden Retriever child. She came into this world on May 5, 1996. Darcy's mom is from the Mistfield line & cousin to our Mistfield Oliver CGC "Ollie" as we were determined to find a treasure just as sweet, smart and noble. Darcy is a little lovebug. She can't get close enough to you, and snuggles between her mummy and daddy in bed at night. Truly a girl to the core, Darcy truly relishes in finding any surface which holds her reflection.

    Friendship Darcy Makena (or Darcy) was named for my mother Doris, a very special lady loved by all who knew her. The name Makena is shared by a beautiful beach in Maui, Hawaii. Truly a girl to the core, Darcy truly relishes in finding any surface which holds her reflection. Then, she is able to marvel at how adorable she is. Darcy had a major crush on Ollie, who she so very much adored. So she picked on and annoyed him to get his attention. Of course, Ollie said "stop kissing me, stop trying to wrestle with me - I just want to rest!"

    It is a little hard for Darcy, as she always gets compared to her cousin Ollie who was so very smart and polite and gentle. Poor Darcy, she's just a tomgirl who loves to get into things that Ollie never even dreamed of. An interesting eater, though, she loves carrots and asparagus, and has been known to dig up sweet potatoes out of our garden. Darcy also is addicted to TV. She loves any show that features animals, and really was taken with the 101 Dalmatians movie. Often, Darcy can't believe what she is seeing, having to get as close as she can to the TV set to investigate further. Darcy is a famous Golden Retriever, as she resides as reigning hostess at the Land of PureGold and Live, Love & Laugh with Golden Retrievers.

    And, she is hostess to a new dogring on the web. Darcy's " Golden Bonds" webring is for sites that celebrate this kid-dog bond and shows how dogs can function as teachers and healers. Kids and adults alike, whose pages touch upon the gifts that dogs have provided their companions, have been invited to join.
