Taylor House Retrievers

Jamie is daughter of Wags and brother of Parker and our only surviving Golden born July 27, 2000
Parker was born on July 27,2000. Passed away on Feb 15, 2012, 11 years, 7 months of energy	We lost Parker after 3 weeks of knowing he had cancer. He got lots of love and treats those last few weeks and we will miss him so. He was the only Golden at Taylor House that we had to train as a puppy at 7 weeks. Even after 8 weeks of training Parker could not resist stealing muffins from the guests. He loved chasing any type of ball and always had a mind of his own, but a heart of gold. He greeted everyone with a wag and a hope of getting a treat in return. Always so optimistic in everything he did.

In 2007, we had to say goodbye to our good friend and companion Wags. She was a beauty, as Daryl told her many times - that face, those wonderful eyes, and her unusually thick ears. She adored having people pet her, and had her way of saying "Don't stop." She was a skilled and persistent beggar, and really knew how to work the breakfast room. And she certainly enjoyed the comfort of a good sofa, whether a Victorian antique, or a plush modern version. Most of all, she loved being at home with her people and Parker. Loving God, you have created the world and populated it with an abundance of marvelous creatures, each unique. Receive Wags, your loving creature, into the courts and gardens of your heavenly dwelling place. Let her heart and soul ring out in eternal joy and play with you. Amen.	Wags was born April 7, 1995 Passed away December 5, 2007 12 years, 8 months of love
Favorite pastime watching The Ellen Degeneres Show! (Missy, Wags, and Parker) (grandma, mother, son)
"Missy Elliott" 04/1993 - 04/2004 11 years of joy Wags' mother and Parker's grandma. Missy was our pumpkin--Daryl's pal and constant companion on his rounds of our Bed and Breakfasts. She couldn't wait to bounce out the door and jump into the van to accompany him on the early morning chores or organ practice at various churches. She endured Parker's constant taunting, but protected him and Wags from other dogs on our walks around Jamaica Pond. Missy totally enjoyed breakfast with guests every morning and watching The Ellen Degeneres Show with Dave. We miss her dearly.
	Corey was the original Taylor House Golden Retriever. 12/1988 - 05/2001 12 Years, 5 months of wisdom He enjoyed greeting guests, but was not very consistent. (Sometimes naps interfered.) He was very gentle and quiet. Occasionally, he barked. (Perhaps once every other year.) He LOVED to sleep and EAT! Although usually the last one up in the morning, he managed never to miss breakfast. Even if doorways were blocked, he'd go up one staircase and down another to find his way to the breakfast room.
Corey celebrated his 12th birthday on December 13, 2000. He was always great at parties. Corey passed away on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, May 27, 2001.
