Hitting the ocean....

You aren't going to believe this! Remember the dog tags I found? I got an email from the people ~ they received the tags. I sent them a note and explained about the dog Sam we had in our family, and that he was a golden retriever. I had no idea what their Sam was.... but check this out ~ Here's the email I got from the wife, and the pics she sent:
Hi Donna:
We received the dog tags yesterday. Thank you for sending them to us ....
we missed the jingle jangle sound they make (let's us know where our Jake
is at!).
We are attaching two photos. As you can see, Our Golden Samuel (Sam) was
also a Golden Retriever, just like your Sam when you were a child. Jacob
(Jake), is our newest addition and he too is a Golden Retriever. He is
much lighter in color than Sam but with the same temperament ... as is
true with all Golden Retrievers!
Once again thanks for taking the time to contact us and mailing the tags
back.
Happy metal detecting!

It gets even MORE weird..... my aunt had a golden retriever named Jake.

Had me a bit choked up Donna. That picture they sent you with Jake lying down looks exactly like our dog Lacey, which we had to put down last year. You caught me off guard lol We had that exact pose, but I can't find it, so here is another one of her. She is just part Golden, but looked just like that lying down. Thanks for posting that Donna it brings back good memories

Aww... she looks like a sweetie!

Who'da thought some simple ole dog tags could mean so much, huh?

I'm glad they had their phone number on it so the tags could be returned.

From the land of the Bluenose.....think I have seen that beach on a youtube vid. Glad you got out and was thinking of taking a pick axe out myself to a beach.

Wouldn't surprise me, Les. Old Orchard Beach is a popular one.
