My good friend Katherine at Photobooth Journal told me it was time for another Pumpkin portrait, so here we go. Pumpkin is 11, in good health, and loved deeply.

She was very happy on this day as she was off leash and hopping around like a pup. We all waited a long winter for it. Thank you.

What a beautiful dog. I lost my Golden Retriever Max to cancer at 12 years old. Cherish every moment. The bond between a man and his dog is truly special.

12 is their average lifespan, so we do cherish every second. We stopped traveling without her a few years ago to let her live without any stress. Thank you Michael.

Thanks to Katherine for inspiring the beautiful portrait of Pumpkin. And yes…treasure every second…but we see lots and lots of 13+ Goldens around here. Especially ones that had been well-loved.

Yes, and we hope that Pumpkin will be one of the lucky ones that stretch it out to a ripe old age. Others have loved their dog as much as we love her, but none have loved them more.

I hope you can enjoy each other for quite a few years still, a life-span of 12 being just an average. She is a beauty, really.

Gorgeous and content Pumpkin in a Naples Yellow field. She could be in camouflage. Now this might make for a challenging dog-in-landscape painting. Labs are a compleat delight. I am glad you have each other. G
