Buy A Golden Retriever Chalkboard and Give Back!
The statuesque photo of the golden retriever caught my eye immediately while browsing my Facebook news feed last night. The Dogington Post was holding Facebook contest to win a chalkboard decal of your favorite breed. (The winners are to be announced this Monday, June 17th) I entered the contest of course!
The chalkboards are sold by a family-owned company called Steadfast Friends from Utah who also offer temporary tattoos and iphone cases of golden retrievers (and almost any other breed you can think of!). The article in the Dogington post says they are currently offering a 20% discount on the chalkboards when you use the code: steadfast20%
Here is the super cool part – Steadfast Friends will donate 10% of ANY purchase to the charity of your choice. Your three options are The Guide Dog Foundation, Best Friends (Utah) and America’s Vet Dogs.
Something to consider as a gift for the dog lovers in your life, (or yourself!) while giving back!

The Daily Golden’s Facebook Photo of the Day
The Daily Golden page on Facebook is growing at a slow and steady pace. There are so many golden retriever pages out there to compete with. Many of these pages are basically posting other people’s photos, and repeatedly asking for “likes” (and I’m not talking about the personal pages)
The Daily Golden Facebook page is a self-curated page full of new and relevant golden retriever news, cute stuff, and information on all things golden retriever, and now the home of The Daily Golden’s Facebook Photo of the Day.
Each day I will share my favorite picture of a golden retriever that I have either found on my news feed, on one of your pages (yes, sometimes I am a golden-stalker!) or one submitted by a follower. Hoping this will help the page gain momentum. At the end of each month, I will announce and repost the photo with the most “likes” that month. I guess this means we will also celebrate The Daily Golden’s Facebook Photo of the Year! Due to the fact I have not yet researched how to run a contest, the only prize at this time is international fame. (I only wish this were true, but you would sure get a warm and fuzzy feeling!)
Submit your best photo(s) of your golden retriever(s) to the Facebook page or email thedailygolden@gmail.com if you would like your golden to be featured. Our very first Facebook Photo of the Day is Darbi Joe. Here she is taking time to smell the lilacs!

*If you email, please specify who the correct person to credit is, if you want it credited, and if you want it linked. I don’t mind sharing!
Go get searching for your best photos! Only selected photos will be posted 
Virtual Golden Retriever Puppy Cuddles
The Pet Collective has gone and done it again. Here is a video of a golden retriever puppy being petted and stroked. The video is taken from various angles, taken from the cuddler’s point of view, for the most part.
Enjoy! Not quite the same, I wanna kiss that face all day!
The Sad Dog Diary
Ze Frank has done it again. If you liked The Sad Cat Diary, you will like this too. I, personally, think the cat one is better. This one was a little too “graphic” It does star a golden retriever though!

Golden Retriever Puppy Cam Alert!
A litter of puppies was born at Spirit Golden Retrievers in Springboro, Ohio on May 26, 2013. There were 11 puppies – six boys and five girls. Thanks to The Pet Collective, you can check them out on live stream anytime!
These puppies are all spoken for, but how exciting for their new humans to be able to watch them grow! Sometimes technology can be a good thing. Limited time only! Puppies scheduled to leave “the nest” on or around July 17th.
Golden Video of the Week – Molly Jumping Off Pier

Ray Charles, the blind Golden Retriever – Viral Sensation and Cutest Dog on the Internet
I just wanna say you heard it here first! A few weeks ago I posted about Ray Charles winning a photo contest for dog of the week in Modern Dog magazine. Since that time, he has taken the internet by storm on an international level. His Facebook Page has almost 35,000 followers and now he is being featured in newspapers around the world including The Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, and The Today Show. This morning he was off to do a live interview with NECN. Ray Charles is being labled the “cutest dog on the internet” Sorry “Boo” Your time is up!
It all began with the picture in the footie pajamas..
