My "name" is the name of my first golden retreiver, Tamberlin MacKenzie of King's Highway (yeah, they told me I had to give him a huge name so I did). I was given him as a gift when I was a sophmore at the College of Wooster in Wooster Ohio. He was a cross between a "show" golden and "field trial" golden. He was my constant companion, he went classes with me and would sleep in a big bookbag or under my chair. When school was over, we went to Maine and he learned to swim the hard way (by falling in). After that, water was his greatest love. He was very depressed when I got married and moved into a no dogs appartment. He was in the wedding though. He lived with my Mom until he passed away at the great dog age of 16. He was my best friend (better even than my DH sometimes). Now I have Andrew, my rescued golden. He is originally from Louisiana and came to us as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Andrew would LOVE to meet Andre, I bet!
