Subi-do came into RAGOM as a stray. She is approximately 14 years old and seems to be in good health. We have had her vet check done and everything looked good except her thyroid which is on the line between normal and low. At this point, we are not treating her for that.

Subi-do is a large female weighing in at 91 pounds. The vet does not think she is overweight since Subi is a big boned girl and I really mean big boned. You usually see males rather than females this size, but she is a very tall, solidly built golden. Subi loves to follow you around to see what you are up to. She is usually wherever you are, laying close by. She came here and met all 3 dogs and the 2 cats without any problems at all. She is a typical golden and loves everybody. Whenever you scratch her chin or talk to her, she gives you a big smile. I just love her face when she does that. At night, she loves to be next to the bed and is ready for "lights out" when you are. She is probably so happy to have a nice warm place to sleep.

Subi-do loves to play fetch. We throw the frisbee for her and she retrieves it and brings it back. We don't throw it as far as we do for the other dogs, but even when we throw it out a little ways, she will run out and get it. She does a good job for a senior girl.

We will update more as we get to know her better.

Subi-do is getting along quite well here. We did find out her real name is Goldie. Her owner was found after RAGOM took her in and he made the decision not to take her back. It saddens me when this happens, but at least I know Goldie is living a golden life now and will for the rest of her time.

Goldie continues to get around very well for her age. She is a little stiff when she gets up from a long nap, but that's about it. Not bad at all for a 14 year old girl. We still play fetch with her and she runs after whatever we are throwing that day - a ball or a frisbee. The other day, Goldie went with me to visit a friend that just had a baby. She was so happy to see my friend and investigated the baby with no issues. While we were visiting, Goldie and my friend's older dog just laid down next to us and were quite content.

I want to give Rosita a huge "Thank You!" for sponsoring Goldie. I so appreciate your considering Goldie for a sponsorship. Our senior dogs are such treasures and are so happy to just be with us. They settle in and just go "with the flow". It is truly a gift to have them in our lives. There is no guarantee how long our dogs have or for that matter how long any of us have, so please don't pass her by because of her age. Adopting a senior will change your life forever. Please consider meeting Goldie and you will see within seconds what great dogs the seniors are!
