Well we came home and everything was perfect. Ms. Z greeted me at the door, went out to the lawn, came back in, greeted both of us again, and went back to resting comfortably on the floor again. Big leap for her!
What a relief, huh?

I'll never forget the butterflies-in-stomach the first time we left our last golden out of the crate alone, age 1 year. He was lounging on the foyer rug. We said goodbye, rushed to church, skipped social hour, rushed back home.

He was still on the foyer rug.
