River Ridge Goldens

My Macey of River Ridge 4/29/2009-12/10/2024

There are not enough words to describe what this girl has meant to me and my family. Do the math and you will quickly realize she has been around longer than Blake.. She lived life to the fullest with her quirky personality. She was a babysitter when I needed to get chores done, she drew a crowd to the obedience ring because she ALWAYS had to put her own spin on things. She was a perfect momma and granny, and the best side kick and companion I could have ever asked for. When I brought you home all I wanted was a family/farm dog and you were absolutley so much more. Today you let me know it was time to let you go, and now you are pain free and hopefully running with Lilly and your babies and grand babies that passed before you.
You will be forever loved and never forgotten.

Yesterday was Macey's 15 1/2 Birthday!!! YES When your Golden gets this old you celebrate the 1/2 Birthdays!!! We have been so very blessed to have this sweet sweet lady in our lives for so long!

Birthday to Kacey today!!! 11 never looked so young on a Golden 😊

This boy....he is just so special.

Happy Happy 9th Birthday to the "other" man in my life....my baby boy with the squishy face! How are you an old man already????

Happy National Golden Day from all of my Golden kiddos!

River and Blake earned River's DSX2 today at The Dog Tank's Polar Plunge. What else are you going to do with windchills hovering around -25°?
He did learn that maybe mom and Kyle are right and she's a bit overweight. Her jumps were about 2ft shorter than normal. A good reminder to pay attention to what he is feeding her and what she actually needs this time of year. Zoe jumped well. She's been throwing in an extra leap before the end of the dock so we have some work to do to train her back out of that habit. She started after a couple bad slips and is overcompensating.

Happy 6th Birthday to Zoe and our entire 2017 litter!! I can't imagine life without this crazy curly ball of fluff!

Today a very nice lady reached out to me because she recently lost her 14+ year old Golden and is looking for one around 6 years old. I told her we are still enjoying all of our dogs and just can't give any up right now. If anyone knows of a female that meets this dicription please reach out to me and I'll give you her information. She has been approved by RAGOM but they do not have one to fit her needs at this time.

Macey is 14 1/2 this month!!! (Yes we celebrate half Birthdays at this age) she is still the big ball of personality she was at 3.....I pray she has many many more Birthdays ahead! She is getting so gray we think her goal is to turn completely white!

Blake designed this custom collar from Champ Dog Gear for River at Regionals. It looks beautiful on her and she will be styling for Nationals!

I didn't forget, but the human child has us crazy busy! On September 30th Kacey and our 2013 littler turned 10!!! Happy Birthday crew!!! She's starting to get a little gray in the face, but can still outrun most of the pack to get to the ball first!! The most snuggly ball of floof there ever was 😍
