The Interview
We've always loved dogs and when my daughter came along, born with special needs (she does not walk very well or talk), my wife and I felt a Golden Retriever with their disposition and that constant smile and that protective nature was a perfect fit. We received more with Remy—he loved her, guided her and when the world took us away, he was always there. When Remy passed on - we never thought we could have another dog like him and then came Winston. Where Remy left off, Winston filled in. His personality was more of a royal—I wipe after every walk, I'll eat when the family does, today's Sunday it's rest day—type of dog and we fell in love with him too. Both dogs became my best friends and closer to me than the rest of the family - its all about the energy.
Very similar in nature (but different in personality)--the constant smile, the lovingness , the caring, “I'm in this family and don't you forget it!” Sometimes I'd walk him and I know he did not understand why the other dogs didn't feel the same as he—we're in this all together, let's love each other, have fun and play...a gift.
Dogs add to life—Remy would see a person come over to my special daughter and would sense out their personality and know instantly if this person is not real enough to add love to her life or just putting it on. He was always 100% right—that's the gift. I wish I had it with people in life!
I just added a voice to their personalities that people around the country would relate to. If I made them too smart - not good; too dumb - safe but not real; just right and it worked. Don't you think we're sharing the planet with a lot of different types of people - we have to start thinning out the herd!
We have two dogs now, Winston and a mutt rescue dog Henry (he's big and black). But without Winston there to show him the ropes of fitting in the family and playing a huge role - I really don't know if it would have worked. And vise versa - Winston was getting older (he's 15) and if Henry did not come along to give Winston that spark again—again a perfect fit!
Their temperament just in general. Their patience, their loving attitude, there smile …. OK, you got me, I love them - I don't speak about my wife this way!
