Why Golden Retrievers Make Excellent Family Pets My love of animals goes back to when I was a little girl growing up on my grandpa’s farm. We had most of your normal farm animals; pigs, cows, chickens, heck I even had my own pony. But none were more lovable and enjoyable than our family dog. This particular breed was a border collie and was incredibly intelligent, loyal, and friendly. She was a bit hyper but to a little girl of ten, was the source of entertainment for many years. Plus, she…

The Bond in a Family My mom had my sister when she was 21, to a man that left her early in parenthood. She was a single mother raising my sister, and working two jobs- for 10 years straight.

Not only was this my home away from home, but it was also handed down by Grandma Farm after she passed away to all of her grandkids. Her home and land were given to me by…

Family has always been an important pillar of my life. I come from a strong household with both a mother and father and a younger brother. We are extremely close knit and rely on each other for a lot of things. In high school, many families mirrored what my family looked like. It was not until I came to college that I really understood how different people’s family units look like. This sample was more realistic of the family patterns across the United States. Families come in all shapes and…
