Miss Becky
(???? – 2008)
The lovely Princess Becky came into GSGRR in late February through
a shelter in the New Orleans area from a sketchy background like many
of our rescued Goldens. She graced our presence with her elegance and
charm despite her physical ailments. Through the photos, her unwavering
love and trust for the world as she saw it, shows brilliantly. She
was fostered for a month in a home with 6 other family dogs during
which a special family came to visit her and asked to be her forever
home. When their new home was completed, Becky went to live with them.
She was cherished and loved by the children and adults. In a very short
time, her physical ailments worsened and she bravely held on with the
grace she always had. Despite efforts of the veterinarians and loving
care from her family, she became too weak to go on. With selfless compassion
for Princess Becky, the family reluctantly and tearfully decided to
let her go. As daughter Bonnie says,
“Becky is in Doggy Heaven, feeling no pain and she's chasing
after a bouncing ball”. Jen said, “It was like we had a
member of our family, whom we had known for a long time, leave us.
I couldn't believe how attached we were after just a few weeks. We
miss her very much”.
This special family proved to Becky that there is a place in the world
for all dogs even if it takes a lifetime of patient waiting. On behalf
of GSGRR, we thank you for caring for, and loving The Princess Becky.

Becky went to her forever home on March
26, 2008 and will be living in LA. She jumped right in the car and
sat on the new blanket and took her old tennis ball with her. She is
one lucky girl.

Anyone who has known a dignified senior Golden will
understand Miss Becky. She is a Grand Dame despite her evident hard
life. The look of elegance and grace emanates from her whether she
is asleep or awake. When she sees you, her tail wags with joy fully
expecting the love she deserves. She returns it unconditionally.
Her foster home consists of six dogs including the Catahoula Princess,
Stormee, who rules the pack with a sharp look or curl of the lip.
Stormee recognizes and respects Miss Becky which is the biggest complement
of all.
Miss Becky is only for the special person or family
who can appreciate her graceful presence. She is content to be near
you without being pushy. Because of her age, she does not require
a lot of exercise. She looks like she had a litter of puppies recently
but there is no information about them. She had lost some weight
and is being treated for an ear infection. If you would like to share
your home with her, please fill out an application.
