Hello,
my name is Carina, which means "little darling" in
Italian. That was the name that came to my owner's mind as soon as she
saw me. I was six-months old when I was brought from New Jersey, where I
lived with my Golden parents, uncles, aunts and cousins, to Connecticut.
Before I left my place of birth, I went to every single one of my
relatives to say goodbye. My manners were impeccable even when I was a
puppy. Ever since I arrived, I have been a constant companion to my
"house mate". We go for walks, play ball in the back yard,
work in the garden, and ride in the car to run errands. All of that is
fun. However, I am really a couch potato, and I have many couches where
I am allowed to take a nap. I'm even allowed to sleep on my mom's bed,
at least until she is ready to turn the light off for the night, then I
go to my own bed next to hers. I also take a long nap while she does her
volunteer work for
Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue.
She is in charge of writing all the "thank you" notes to the
wonderful people who send donations to support the activities of this
rescue organization. You would think that she has a special place in her
heart for my breed. And she does, I am her third Golden... I am special
for many reasons, the first one is that I came just three weeks after
the previous Golden died and was able to fill the great void that she
had left. Besides, I don't jump on people, I greet everybody with a big
smile, I like to be brushed and don't even mind to have my ears cleaned.
Having a bath is another story... I never bark, which, of course, does
not make me a great watchdog, but I am so good and beautiful that this
is not considered a shortcoming in this household. I only growl a bit
when the telephone rings and disturbs my sleep, but I suppose it is a
small inconvenience compared to the good life I have.
