More: Tessie May came to us on Valentines Day 2007. I wanted a Golden Retriever all my life and when I met Tessie as a puppy she laid her head on my heart and stole it. She has earned her “Good Citizen” certificate which is in perfect alignment with what a great dog she is. She is an incredibly sweet, caring, intuitive, patient, and sensitive dog. After 14 years I still can’t believe she’s mine and I’m hers.
