Ooh, Heaven is a Golden Earth

Before church this morning, we had a pleasant surprise. Sooner Golden Retriever Rescue (of which I am a proud alumnus) held a doggy birthday party for Dax, our oldest cousin. First, I got to meet some new friends.

Four golden retrievers — Pardon me, but you look (and smell) very familiar.

Dax turned 17 today! He was getting around great. Must be all that clean living.

A golden retriever with a birthday hat on — The birthday boy. Happy birthday, Dax!

Sharon and Dwight Yenzer were there with Abe and Toby Sue. I got to stay with them last fall while my Elder Brother, Doug, was coming back to town to pick me up.

Commentary by Dwight Yenzer, who was filming his own video at the same time.

Thanks to Woodland West Pet Resort for letting us play in their front yard.

Several golden retrievers and people — They were trying to get us to pose for a photo, but we had more important things to do.

We all sang Happy Birthday and then – treats all ’round!

A field of people with chairs and golden retrievers — Even the people got birthday treats.

Dax took me aside and I asked him the secret to his longevity. I was sure the answer was going to be “Have a drink out of the toilet and a piece of bacon every day” but he must not have understood my question.

Two Golden Retrievers — The birthday boy was giving me some pointers on a long and healthy life.

Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other.
Psalm 85:10

Here I am: footloose and fancy free! Having a wonderful time at the doggy party!
