Befriending the Golden Retriever Next Door

 I first spotted Copper when playing fetch hit a tennis ball over the fence. This polite Golden brought it back!  

First Meeting

An elderly couple owned Copper. We'd chat across the fence as I gave pets and treats to the sunny-natured pup.

 Backyard Buddies

Copper loved games of fetch or me sprinkling ground kibble for her to sniff out in the grass like Easter eggs. 

Playtime Fun

Shhh...I'd sneak Copper extra treats when her owners weren't looking! It became our little ritual.

Secret Snacks  

On hot summer days we had the best time with me spraying the hose for Copper to playfully bite the water.

Cooling Off  

My favorite memories are Copper resting her head on the fence for petting sessions and giving sloppy Golden kisses!

 Furrowed Brow Kisses  

Though just a backyard fence divided us, my friendship with sweet Copper the Golden Retriever capture the true spirit of community.
