As you may or may not know, the Golden Girls live right here in your

neighborhood (Ok, not those Golden Girls). These girls are a dynamic

mother-daughter golden retriever duo named Elliot and Lucey.

Elliot is the wise, gentle, and sophisticated matriarch; the consistent

voice of reason. Whereas her daughter, Lucey, is the exuberant and

slightly mischievous puppy who is known for her boundless energy and

hugging skills.

It's hard to miss the elegance and poise of Mama Elliot as she positions

herself at the top of the stairs—paws crossed, always—to watch the

world go by, all while her golden fur shimmers in the sunlight. She loves

to smell the fresh air and make sure all is okay in the neighborhood.

Elliot may bark boisterously to say “hello”, but her soul is as sweet as

they come. 

Lucey follows in Mama’s footsteps with everything she does. Once the

barking is done, both pups prop their paws up on the fence, waiting

(somewhat) patiently for a treat. Of course, their tails are swishing

back and forth in unison. They are happy to receive a pat or even a kiss

from passersby. The best days are when Marylou and Michael walk by

the house. The girls will stop anything they’re doing to receive a

heavenly homemade treat, pats on the head, and lots of love from these

two special humans.

The Golden Girls say that living a stone's throw from one another is

special. Lucey lives across the street from her Mama but often gets to

hang out in mom’s yard, which is Lucey’s version of Disney World. The

"hooman" Grandparents spoil her rotten with delicious homemade meals

and let her play in the sprinkler while they are watering their

garden. Now and again, she gets put in time-out for munching on

the delicious plants or putting her whole body over the sprinkler which

stops the water flow. Elliot typically likes to lie in the sun while chatting

with her spunky neighbor furry friend, Mazzie. Mazzie and Elliot often

try to warn Lucey that she's about to get in trouble, but as with any

tween, Lucey has a mind of her own and pushes things to the limit.

What most don't know about these two affectionate canines who radiate

"pawsitivity" is their love for Halloween. As October approaches, Elliot

and Lucey can sense the change in the atmosphere and know that their

favorite holiday is around the corner. With their tails wagging and ears

perked up, they watch as the neighborhood starts to transform with

spooky decorations. Lucey isn’t a fan of the blow-up cat decorations

that move and make hissing sounds. This sends her into a tailspin (no pun

intended) while on walks with her Mom. Elliot reminds Lucey that these

are fake cats and that the real cat they need to befriend is Nova, the

King of Sowell Street. He’s the cat's meow in Elliot's eyes with his

gorgeous, orange silk coat and slick actions always giving Lucey and Elliot

a run for their money.

While the girls adore the affection and treats they receive from

generous neighbors all year long, they also relish the opportunity to

reciprocate—and Halloween provides the perfect occasion for them to do

just that! Through endearing acts of spontaneous kindness,

characterized by tender licks, exuberant high-five paw shakes, and

gentle nudges, these furry companions illuminate the essence of goodwill.

This is their way of giving back. In the hearts of those they touch, these

extraordinary creatures aspire to hold a noble title: the esteemed "Furry Ambassadors of Love and Kindness". The girls and their “paw-rents” hope that their unique golden spirits will continue to create a legacy of love, joy, and community spirit in the neighborhood.

Elliot and Lucey often remind us that the true magic of any holiday is

the connections and love that you share. Even the small gestures of companionship can have a profound impact on the lives of others. So, whether it's an ear scratch, belly rub, hug, or simple smile, the girls encourage everyone to open their hearts and spread

"pawsitivity" within their neighborhood and throughout their daily lives.
