Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd (the Free Pup version)

Raising six golden retriever puppies until they were ready for new homes was an uplifting experience for my family. I documented that time and put the video songs ranging from "So What" by Pink to "Goodnight" by the Beatles.

The final piece was set to Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd, which if it's not the best Rock 'n' Roll song ever is at least in the top 10. The guitar solo that comprises the second half of Free Bird seems to capture the energy that the pups brought to our home and neighborhood.

This video made me reflect on my Black Lab that I lost last month to Lyme disease. I love dogs. Thanks for spurring such wonderful memories.

Sorry you lost your Lab. Dogs give such unconditional love, they do leave a void when they're gone.

The momma dog in this video, Daisy, is a descendant of Joshua, a golden who owned me for 12 years. He helped me through some rough times.

Wow! Your puppies are all so loved! I hope you managed to find them good homes where the new owners will continue to love them for the rest of their lives and not just abandon them after they outgrew their cuteness. Sigh, it must be heaven to have these cute fluff balls in the house to love and cuddle. How I envy you and your family. <3

this is just....so amazing, I love these videos!

If I've lots of money, I'll never sell them away. I'll keep all of them and have a happy big family. They are just soooooo super cute and adorable. How could people abandon them it's just beyond words.
