Zurie - Golden Retriever #4
Tim let Ann name all the girl dogs, and he named the boy dogs. Since she came from Carla (godchild of Wendy's mom Teddy), who brought her up from Missouri, Ann came up with Zurie (as in Ms. Souri). She didn't much care what you called her (also called Z or by Auntie Louise- as fur face, because she pretty much would come when she wanted to. She is golden in color and is a true retriever - it is ALL about the ball. The problem is that she wouldn't necessarily drop the ball because she also was a big chewer. Ann had a series of health issues so didn't train her properly, but there is still hope. As Bubba was getting old and sick, Zurie keyed into playing with adults and still doesn't much know what to do with other dogs. Zurie has been a big source of comfort since Tim has died. Like her predecessor, Misha, Zurie will jump off the dock and put her head full into the water if she is retrieving something.
Bubba - Golden Retriever #3
You've read about Bubba's sister Misha, both of which Tim and Ann got for free from Tim's friend Paul. Bubba was a huge love. If you were sitting with your hands accessible, he would put his head under and push it up to let you know he wanted petting. He was not as smart as his sister, but he would do ANYTHING for food. I never saw a dog lie down so quickly with the promise of a treat!
Bubba was so sad when Misha died and kept looking for her, so after months Ann broke down and accepted into the house Zurie, golden retriever #4 for Tim and Ann.

Chase - Golden Retriever #1
Tim got Chase soon after they started dating. We never bred him, but had offers, because he was very beautiful with dark red hair. We got him from Tim's friend Paul, who kept Chase's brother and Paul's roommate had the father. They looked alike, but the brother dogs the most. One time Tim brought the wrong dog home! Chase got into a few fights when cornered, but he was also a sweetheart.
