About Sandy
Sandy here,
A little about this, not too modest, dog. I’m a pure bred lady Golden Retriever, whose mommy and daddy are award winning show dogs. I’m 17 months old as of this post. Mommy’s name was Breeze- I couldn’t have wished for a better one. Breeze’s human’s name is Carol and she did a fantastic job seeing to my every need! She’s what humans call a breeder. My human says he picked me because I was so special. He doesn’t realize I picked him.
My birthday is January 18th which makes me a Capricorn, and true to my sign, makes me seek others admiration. I’m the mountain goat, not garden goat variety of Capy for those Zodiac lovers. Oh, I’m close to the cusp so I admit to having some Aquarian traits- trendsetter, unique, etc. My human is an Aries. What can I say.
I weigh in at 74 pounds, stand 26″ at the shoulder, and have long beautiful beige hair. I’m strong and love humans, but I especially like kids. I can make my human furnish treats on demand by performing a range of physical skills. He’s twisted around my paw pad.
I call the Human that belongs to me “The Geezer Gator.” He’s very nice, but male, and older. Geezer has the Aries thing going in overdrive, but he is more empathetic than most Rams I’ve met. He is smart, writes books, and is my constant companion. Mrs. Gator is very kind and pretty. Both are good to me– we all love each other and enjoy life in our south Florida home.
Lets see. Bacon and hot dogs are my favorite foods. Fooling the Geezer and romps on the beach are two things I like. Most of all, I love to have discussions. Soooo, let’s have one. Talk to me.
Sandy

I’m an Aries, too. And Capricorn on the Aquarian cusp sounds like one of the best astrological ways to be!

Hey yeah definitely people need to be informed which is something Americans have taken a back seat on.

I like your blog about Fox and I appreciate your comment about my article regarding the failure of the bailout plan.
Do you also have a website> Would you like to exchange links?

Sandy, now I know why I like your voice… I am also a Capricorn on the cusp with a January 19 birthday!
And I happen to have a very soft spot in my heart for your breed.

Wow…I have to know, have you ever read the series, “Hank the Cowdog?”
If not, I highly recommend it to you. You will doubtlessly notice you and Hank’s author have some very similar ….perspectives.

Hi Sandy, thank you for the comment! I’m reading your blog right now, and I really enjoy it. Everyone seems to look over the canine’s point of view too often –
great job, keep it up!

Sandy you could have helped more by laying in the drop zone so that 1. you give your people something to walk over or around and 2. make sure you are available for floor clean up when something falls if they happen to trip over you. PJ aka Porky Joe has this move down pat. Try it on your next holiday, the folks will love it!

Very cute blog. Well done.

No recycling for you! Promise… Have a biscuit and please stay off the sofa. I once dreamt that I could talk telepathically with my cat but I’ve never had any sort of conversation with a dog.
Got me wondering now… would you expect more cats or dogs to keep blogs? I think maybe cats wouldn’t bother with blogs and would opt for a website dedicated to themselves…
…anyway, cheers for stopping by…

Sandy please don’t take this the wrong way, you seem like a nice puppy, but if the world’s problems were decided by Rock Paper Scissors the powers that be wouldn’t allow you to participate. Either that or you’d just have to over come your handicap of being scissor-challenged. I hope you accept this scratch behind the ear as consolation.
Thank you for marking my blog page.

Stopping by to thank you for visiting my blog. I was looking over your stuff. I like your take on life. Empathy is #1 in my book. I also find the humor in life. It is all over, we just have to look! It helps the day go by much easier, huh? I will by stopping by. Hope you can do the same!

Hi,
Thanks for the comment on my blog. You write well. My husband, who experienced a similar period of limited mobility and had his own potty experience at one point, especially enjoyed it. He even took the risk of telling me that when it comes to humor, you write better than me. He’s lucky humor isn’ t a specialty of mine. Are you working on another book, or have you thought about where you might submit it?

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. In a sociologically informed opinion (by Joel M. Charon, author of 10 Questions), we’re all animals. What makes us different from them is the ability to communicate and socialize using symbols such as language.

Hello young lady. Nice blog. I’m another human I’m afraid – and old: about 11 of your years. I think all blogs should be written by dogs and cats (sorry didn’t mean to offend). You have such an uncomplicated, truthful way of looking at life and such a keen eye for detail. Unfortunately there isn’t one of either where I live and not likely to be any time soon, cos the other one who lives here says she’s got enough to do looking after me. So I guess I’ll just stumble on blogging as best I can. I do have a blackbird that comes visit but he hasn’t said much up to now. I think he’s trying to contact me telepathically though, because of the way he stares at me with his head on one side. I suspect he may be succeeding as well, though you’re the first I’ve told about it so please don’t spread it around. It would be great if he could eventually take over some of the typing which is ruining my eyesight. Perhaps a woodpecker would be more efficient, but how …
Regards (also to The Geezer)

Hey There -
Sun N Fun is indeed still going on – Lakeland Linder in April! I’ll be there, though not sure if my four-legged kids will accompany me or not (I can’t recall whether they allow anything other than working animals, which is peculiar, since I see the littler, two-legged animals running around and jamming joysticks and wreaking havoc all while their parents smile and encourage them). I’m all for allowing young minds to grow, but if I tell Buddy or Griffin to behave, they do. they don’t climb into the cockpit of a two-hundred thousand dollar aircraft and start scratching at the embroidery. but I digress… Hope to see you out at Lakeland. I’ll most likely be flying in with a good friend – I live close enough to drive, but it is called a FLY IN…

Comment by sandysays1— January 23, 2009 #
oh, Sandy – Buddy and Griffin (Buddy is a lab chow mix and Griffin is a handsome yellow lab with copper eyes) both saw your pic and said “Growl baby.” Not sure what they meant by that, since they’re rescues, and have their own dialect, but I think it means “Dad? Tell her she can play in our sand box anytime!”

Aww hello beautiful Sandy. Thank you for inviting me. You remind me of my two Goldens…Sadly they have made their journey over the rainbow bridge.
I’ll introduce you to our 8 year old black lab sometime.
Looking forward to hearing all about you.

Hello Sandy & Geezer!
Thanks for your comment on my blog. It’s always nice to make a new friend (or a couple, in this case). A little background: I live in southeastern CT with my husband, a 15 year old cat named Madame Curie, and two 11 year old mutts — Tucker (an Aussie cross) and Bella (a Lab cross). Considering their looks/behavior we figure Tucker is crossed with Lyle Lovett and Bella is crossed with an Electrolux.
I’ve been writing since I was six, professionally since 1992-ish. I started out in the world of Star Trek (after honing my skills on years of fandom). I have a book of short stories out (“Darling Wendy and Other Stories”), speculative fiction, am working on other stories and a novel and will soon begin the arduous work of finding an agent. Ah, the mad, whirlwind existence of a writer!
Keep in touch, eh? Let me know how life is in Florida! (It sounds great!)

Hi, Sandy! Thanks for commenting.
I’ll be sure to host a contest specifically for canines! Ha ha.
My baby is a 3-year-old black Labrador Retriever.
I think you two would get along. She also has a cute, quirky personality and an attitude that would make your head spin!
Looking forward to reading more of your blogs. ;D

Comment by Eric Richardville— June 22, 2009 #
Well, Sandy, you seem like a perfect lady in spite of your adoration for your human companions—then again, love, when true and loyal and unconditional, is the height of all interactions. Glad you dropped in on my blog for one of the true adventures of brother Ed’s driving —way too true for his own health and well being. But I digress, enjoyed very much Sandy and the Geezer’s latest go round with bare asses and the likes. Oh yes, such is the truth of such matters. LOL. Ah Sandy, all the things you’ve yet to experience and obeserve about homo sapiens. More fodder for the keys, pen, twittering device…
I’ll be back…grins.

Attie, too, is a female, but lady? Not on your life. Prior to coming to live with us, she spent three years on a farm, hangin’ out with the pack, and asserting her dominance as the alpha female. Now she drools when she drinks (and for twenty feet in all directions), lies flat on her back exposing all her, ahem, attributes (and encouraging every other canine to have a good sniff) and loves nothing better than to roll in anything particularly odiferous. Dirty, smelly, and an old soul who has way more than dog behind those eyes. I don’t know if she’s on her way up or down the reincarnation ladder, but she is not just a dog.

HI Sandy,
You are a cutie. I am a Bedlington and my name is Peyton. It’s so nice to read the thoughts of a canine on the internet. I’m not allowed to use the computer usually but sometimes late at night I do it anyway. I live with four Kerry Blue Terriers who go to dog shows a lot. One of them left three years ago and hasn’t been back.
I will read your blog as often as I can. Even my humans liked it. Especially about Manny and the turkey.

Comment by Susi Spice— December 10, 2009 #
Like your Human, I’m an Aries and a human.
My last dog was female but, according to the vet., was from a family which did not believe in marriage. Several generations of her ancestors had had children out of wedlock. As you know, this is still frowned upon, even in the twenty-first century.
The reason that I mention it at all is that, from her appearance, she could have had a few drops of golden retriever in her. She had beautiful, soft, golden hair on her slim legs, tail, and behind her ears.
She had a beautiful nature but had been very badly treated before escaping and adopting me and my family. She was exhausted and could go no farther. She just lay down, waiting to be beaten.
I dissolved into tears on the spot, and did it again and again, as I slowly discovered all of the different ways that she had been tortured. It took her two weeks to show us her beautiful tail. It was a month before she actually raised it.
A few years later, she became a mother, out of wedlock, in accordance with her family tradition. However, she very carefully chose the father.
She chased away all of the well-bred dogs who called on her, then eloped for a night with a small, mostly black suitor. He was nothing to look at, but had an engaging personality. She had opened the door herself.
Surprisingly, the gentleman kept up his visits during her pregnancy, and even after the birth. She was always very pleased to see him, but still kept all other dogs away. He disappeared suddenly. I later learned that he had died.
Our lady died herself many years later, on the bed beside me. Cancer.
She may have been a very distant relation of yours. Probably from the part of the family nobody talks about. All noble families have a few wild branches on their family trees.

Sandy,
Why don’t you drop on over to your profile page… Then, put your blog address in the field that says web address. Save it… after you do that, your user name will be clickable, and viewers will come directly to this website. Just an idea…

She’s not purebred at all, her mother was a mixture of golden lab, some sort of retriever (and was named Gracie after Gracie Allen for good reasons); her father was a purebred golden labrador. Fortunately she inherited her father’s intelligence and Gracie’s wonderful nature.
I really enjoyed your story about not making fun of blondes! I got a good laugh out of that one.
Take care and visit us again soon at The Havens.

I love your writing Sandy. My dog Tofu can’t use a keyboard as far as I know but that might just be a doxie thing. As you probably know, they like to play dumb so that they can avoid following instructions when it’s inconvenient for them and get waited on paw and snout. Can’t wait to read more. <3

Thanks! My human and buddy has helped me a bit with my typing technique and with a few writing tips. Tell Tofu that he should “Endeavour to persevere” and eventually he’ll get that laptop dislodged and get his paws on it.

Cute story Sandy! And thanks for your comment! Daisy’s only 5 months old and 6 pounds. She’s our first small dog and we’re enjoying learning about her as she learns about us.

Hello Sandy,
I like the subtle humor of your blog. Dogs rule and cats….never mind, won’t go there. Do you mind if I put a link on my blog to your blog?

Hi, Sandy! I’m glad you stopped by my blog. Hope you have an uneventful hurricane season for the rest of the month!

HI Sandy,
Love your Labor Day post. This Labor Day I was walking in the neighborhood, by a house having its roof redone. I heard one of the workers on his cellphone saying, “They don’t call it No Labor Day”.
Have a great no-hurricane season.
Monica

hey Sandy pup ~~ thanks for the good wishes and stopping by! One human heart & pair of hands at a time! Don’t take such a long break next time!

Sandy, my blond cocker, Miss Piggy, asked me to send you a note. She’s 15 and prefers just lying around, but she’d watch YOU play… and steal your bacon and hot dogs while you’re occupied.
You’re quite a looker, Girl!

Hi Sandy – thank you to you and your human ‘geezer’ for commenting on our site… You are obviously a dog of supreme intelligence with an exceptionally good temperament, so the next time you pop in for a browse, please, we beg you, do NOT read the article about Dr Dolittle’s Dog – it may upset you, but you might enjoy the article about the suicidal moggy (cat). Anyway, thanks again and keep blogging you clever dog!
Comment by Yarpnews— February 9, 2011 #
Hey Sandy – I hope you are relaxing in a ‘hound hammock’? Would you be kind enough to let your Geezer know that we have at last written a US version of our article (which we have linked to your site – I hope that’s OK?)
Keep wagging that tail!

I think you’re delightful. Your Geezer-Gator and the missus sound lovely too. I’ll be back. Of course, you probably think that is a rather patronising comment (even though I’m female). Thank you for commenting on mine – you sound a lot like Tass! Hope you come over more often!

Hellooo Miss Sandy, Geezer Gator, and Mrs Gator! Welcome back to the blogging world after your long hiatus. Perhaps, one day, Miss Little Red Maple Leaf and Miss Sandy can have a long distance email conversation over the Atlantic Ocean.

Sandy,
My owner thought it was a good idea to take for a walk the smaller one of us and leave me alone in the house. Stupid of her!!! She also left the windows open… “window of opportunity.” My claws got rid of this silly net over the windows, that prevents me having fun with yummy flies and such.I had no problems jumping right into the bush and over. 5 seconds later I was free to roam the neighborhood – all these cats are driving me crazy! Why don’t they think they are much more fun than that toy I have?
I just don’t get one thing, why was she so upset when she had so much fun chasing after me afterwords? She was also taking photos of that window…She is not going to repair it, is she?
Comment by fornormalstepfathers— April 15, 2011 #
You never know what humans might do. Remember they are an inferior species and we canines need to be compassionate. My guess is she’ll repair that screen, forgeting all the fun she had playing chase.

Hello Ms. Sandy,
Haven’t seen you for awhile. My Geezer never walks me enough. Congratulations on your blog award. I am very impressed. I’m surprised you can’t feel the breeze from how hard my tail is wagging.
I read your list of favorite authors and I commend your taste in litterati. My new favorite is Spencer Quinn’s, Bernie & Chet series. They are detectives and Chet, from our own canine nation, is the narrator. I think you’d enjoy his antics and competency, well as long as there are too many treats to distract him…..
See you soon,
Your friend and Neighbor
Murphy the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.

Hello Sandy!
You are gorgeous! Thank you for stopping by to leave your advice for Lily – she’s already smacking her lips in anticipation of the next mallard that comes in for a landing! We live in Bedfordshire in England, so yes – lots of hedgehogs and foxes and stuff – but what we’d do for some of your lovely weather! We’ll stop by again and keep up with how you’re doing – here’s to many more adventures!

Thanks for popping by my blog, Sandy! You have so many friends here – I hope I grow up to be as sociable as you. Most of my playmates are cats, at the moment – although they run away from me whenever they see me coming. I don’t understand why, though? I’m just one helluva frindly pup!
Comment by Carlie— June 14, 2011 #
Thanks for stopping by my blog CalliopesWritingTablet, Sandy. I feel for your human. Tell your human to take the book reviews all in stride. There will be terrific reviews and so-so reviews and always the bad review looms in the distance like a shadow. Your human would do well to remember the world is full of opinions, learn from the less than stellar ones, revel in those good ones, and above all enjoy this fantastic journey. Thanks for visiting and stop by often. You and your human should find lots of useful info there. By the way, I picture you using the keyboard and can’t help but smile.

Form Seinfield’s mouth “If aliens are watching this through telescopes, they’re going to think the dogs are the leaders of the planet. If you see two life forms, one of them’s making a poop, the other one’s carrying it for him, who would you assume is in charge?” You are in charge Sandy that’s for sure!!! Thanks for stopping by at my blog today and I am also from Walled Like just like your human’s son

Hey Sandy this is Andy I knew an old Geezer that sounds a lot like yours a truly great master at scribing things and such! Im thrilled and look forward to chatting in the future.
PS I love bacon and hot dogs too but the bacon has to be Kosher !!

Sandy-
It’s good to see that I’m not the only animal on here. So many humans these days, am I right? I never thought that canines would care too much for what a panda has to say, but I definitely appreciate the ‘like’!

We share the same birthday but there would be a discrepancey in age –
Dog years vs Earth solar years.
Comment by Harry Moonbeam— April 30, 2012 #
We love golden retrievers at our household (along with little green alien men, dot to dot dinosaurs and dung beetle). We have two – Harry a 12.5 yr old and Murphy ( a lady – as in Murphy Brown) who is Harry’s niece, and is 10.5 years. Goldie’s are the best dogs – their love of life surpasses all other things that may get in their way.

Comment by crookedsky71— June 8, 2012 #
I don’t think you’ve seem me yet but I live a couple houses down from you. I’m usually up in my mahogany tree watching what goes on in the neighborhood. The only dog that has found me so far owns Joe Smith as a human – that dog has a nose! Anyway, I’m a cat so by nature I am condescending and usually ignore DOGS as inconsequential. But…. I have to say Sandy you are, as far as dogs go, quite a good example of your breed. I appreciate that you enjoy playing with Murphy, my canine housemate, when you come by and… it’s so hard to say…it’s like coughing up a hairball. You’re a great dog.. ack!

Dear Sandy and Geezer, Thank you for the heart-stopping comment you left. I honor you. And decades later, when one has a connection to animal rescue work, one knows first-hand that the human capacity for cruelty to the defenseless has no bounds. We need a war on cruelty.
