If you have visited our website I would like to welcome you to the love of my life.  Golden's have always
been a big part in my life, since 1980.   I was like a lot of the people in this world who turned to the
newspaper to purchase my first golden.  He was the love of my life and will always have a space in my heart
that will never fill.   I was fortunate that he really never had any health issues.  He was trained to run beside
my bike on the curb side and would stop at all stop signs and stop lights.  We would go to the beach offend.
 it was only  about 3 miles away, then we would settle at a friends house who live on the ocean.  One day I
had run errands around town, Casey was trying to figure out where I had gone, I recieved a call from my
friend at the beach telling me that Casey was at his house looking for me, I drove and picked him up, I told
him that was not good and never do it again and he knew what I had said, never repeating that venture.I
eventually went to work full time. My mother was a stay at home mom, but Casey would go to homes in the
neighborhood who had children home during the day, then when the older children came home from school
they would play soccer with him.  However at the time I would arrive home he would be waiting for me on
the porch.  He was my best friend in the world. I was young and dating, Casey always let me know who to
cast to the curb, when I met  my husband it was Casey who agreed that this guy was good and past the
golden test. Jeff and I married in spring of 1983.  I grew up living on the water and the six months of our
marriage Casey had to go and  live with my brother in the OBX, we had a small apartment and I felt guilty
about leaving him in an apartment all day while I worked.    My brother lived on the water, so I knew he
was in a temporary place that would give him all the benefits that he was use to until our home was built. My
brothers David and Marc came to live at my mothers in the fall of 83' to build our home and brought Casey
back home.  My husband and I would work then come to our home site to work on the house daily.  Casey
was always with me.  My brothers starting taking Casey to the house to work, one day he ended up
missing, they always took a break at building to eat lunch with my mother, when they arrived Casey was at
the house safe and sound. Our new house was just a mile from my parents home, he had figured on his own
a path back and forth. So from that point on he had his own schedule  to our new home and the home he
grew up in.  When we finally moved in I would get up and take my boy to the beach we would play fetch in
the ocean everyday before I left for work.  It was our special time.  However once I left for the office he
would leave and go to my moms for the day. My mother would call me at work every morning to tell me he
was home with her just to let me know he was OK.  When I came home in the afternoon he was always on
the front porch dripping wet waiting for me to pull in the driveway.  Again we would hit the beach it was our
time to settle down for the day. He was smart and loving with a big golden heart. I remember one day
coming home from work, we didn't have much furniture at first so I didn't have anything but the step to sit on
in our living room.  It had been the worst day at work and I was crying just dealing with the pressures of
being a supervisor.  I had my head in my hands and the next thing I felt what I thought was a hand on my
shoulder, comforting my sadness.  When I looked up there was Caseys eyes looking through my soul with
that wonderful touch to my heart.  I wrapped my arms around him and cried more, to know how much he
loved me and to know that he felt my emotions. He was my friend, my love, my everything I could have ever
imagined.  That is when the Golden Retriever touched my heart that I could never love a breed as much as
this wonderful breed...When I was pregnant with our first child, towards the end of the pregnancy he would
not touch my stomach or even look at it.  When the baby arrived, he did the ignore and maybe she will go
away.  This only went on for maybe two weeks,  I was leaving to run an errand and I had put the baby
down to lock the front door, when I turned around he was looking straight at her and licking her entire face,
that was the day he claimed her as part of our family.  I had three children and Casey was the love of their
life, we still did the beach and had our special time.  However in spring of 93' Casey wasn't doing well, the
children knew something was wrong, he didn't have the energy to play and this worried them, the children  
were 7,5,3 years, I decided to get another golden for the girls so Casey could rest.  His name was Cody
and a beautiful boy, the puppy kept the girls busy and also put a spark back into Casey's world.  He perked
up and taught the boy alot before he finally went to heaven in fall of 93.  It was the most difficult goodbye I
had ever had to go through.  I never became close to the new puppy until Casey was gone, Cody allowed
me to lean on him during my grief we built a bond of a different relationship. I learned that they all have their
own special personalities and life went on in our Golden world.  1995 my husband and Carol Vogel
presented me with my first english show dog named Geni
Can.Ch.Cal Vo's Graceful Genevive CGC that is what started my life into the breeding and showing of the
English Goldens.  My life has been blessed by wonderful mentor's who have changed my life with support
and devotion to my work in producing wonderful family companions... The paw prints still continue in my
heart. Thank you for visiting our site and home and hope you have a Golden Love of your life.
