Last winter, a woman named Jude contacted us about buying Golden Retriever Christmas ornaments from us. When she received them in the mail, she told me a bit more about why they are so important to her. Six months later, I still think about what she told me. And thought that it was worth sharing with you:
“Years ago, we ordered lots of the Golden Retriever Chardonnay. My husband saved one of the empty bottles and he will NEVER disp
ose
of it. I believe we have ONE bottle in the wine cellar, which will
probably forever stay there. The year following we lost our girl
precious Golden, Doral. When Father's Day came around, and Doral's
Birthday, my husband opened the wine to celebrate her life, but there
were LOTS of tears. Now it's easier with our new little girl in our
lives, and we think of Doral with more smiles now than tears. That "lone
bottle" in the wine cellar, as I said, will remain in her memory.”

As a side note, the blog is going to be taking a bit of a break, while I go get married. Have a wonderful two weeks everyone, and you'll be hearing from me on the 25th!
