LOL. The photo above is my favorite Halloween pet picture of all time. Hope you, your family & furry loved ones have a spooktacular one.

Remember to keep those chocolates away from dogs. They’re toxic and can be fatal for your pet. For more Halloween safety tips from our friends at HSUS and ASPCA, click here and here.

Still working on our renovations and enjoying life in our little bubble, but I do miss playin’ with my beads. Thanks so much for visiting. Until next time, take care & stay well!

This series of pink themed jewelry is dedicated to Spencer, a truly special furry being who passed away on February 17, 2009, of Hemangiosarcoma, an aggressive form of canine cancer.

Spencer was a retired movie star, a golden retriever mascot, and a therapy dog. He touched so many who came in contact with him because of his gentle and sweet nature. Others, including me, came to know his fun and goofy side through his blogged adventures.

50% of the proceeds from these listings will be donated to the National Canine Cancer Foundation in Spencer’s name. Click the photos to check out the item in my Etsy shop.

RIP sweet Spencer. You left a world a bit better just by being in it. You are loved. You are missed. You are my friend. You are forever in my heart.

What goes around comes around. What better way to help the organization that took in Golden Retriever puppies, Ben & Jerry.

Because of a faux pas when I wrote the first blog post, I had to make another necklace to donate in the memory of those two sweet pups that they and Spencer’s humans took in.

“Love Is Golden”, the necklace pictured here, features some very special beads that are near and dear to my heart. They’re a Golden Retriever and a dog biscuit Lampwork beads by favorite glass artist, Janet Crosby.

These beads were a custom order that turned into holiday pressies from Janet last Christmas. Wasn’t that sweet of her?

This is one of her golden retriever beads that literally make me cry. But they are good tears. Happy tears because her craftsmanship touches me so much, and her bead reminds me of my beloved goldens who both passed away a few years ago from different types of Cancer. Many good times! I really loved those dogs.

Personally, I like to wear jewelry that is simple and unfussy. The three I’ve just listed fits that bill. They’re very wearable and are one-of-a-kind.

One hundred percent of the proceeds will be donated to Southern California Golden Retriever Rescue (SCGR Rescue), so don’t forget to check out the other two listed below. Please click the photos and links for more details.

“Golden Paws” — Golden paw prints on a dog bone necklace.

“Cinnamon and Clove” — A darker reddish brown Golden Retriever necklace.

That’s all for now. Thanks so much for stopping by! Until next time — take care & stay well!
