Maggie & Zara

Maggie just turned seven years old this week, and we celebrated with a photo shoot! (Her sister Zara, a Maine Coon, deigned to participate as well.) She’s a beautiful Golden Retriever with the fluffiest coat I’ve ever felt, and she’s got that wonderful personality her breed is known for – friendly and happy-go-lucky. Her mom said she’s heard Goldens called the dolphins of the dog world, which I hadn’t heard before and love it. It’s a perfect description.

Maggie loves to play fetch in the backyard, but she loves her family and napping equally as much! She isn’t as interested in Zara, who is an inquisitive, petite girl who followed us around curiously while we dangled treats for Maggie and cooed her name. She thought we were crazy until her toy came out, and then she was more than happy to show off too!
