23-059 Kronos   age 5, and   23-060 Rhea   age 4, were surrendered as a pair of very bonded purebred Goldens. Their owner was moving across country from California to the East Coast with three dogs and two kids when her RV broke down. She    could not find a place to stay that would accept    three dogs. Despite her acknowledging that she could no longer care for the dogs, it was a very emotional surrender. She described    Kronos    as friendly, sweet and a big goofball, who will shred stuffed toys, even the tough ones.    Kronos    loves to swim, jump on a trampoline and run.    Kronos    is more independent than    Rhea    -- she would be lost without him.    Rhea    is a Velcro dog. She is friendly, sweet and loves people. She loves small dog toys. She is not a fan of swimming. Favorite treat for    Rhea    is tomatoes;    Kronos    loves raw broccoli. The owner was kind enough to order and have sent to us a special bowl called a Slopper Stopper for    Kronos    and a couple of small toys for    Rhea   . Our AGR transporter met the owner in front of her sister's home and then drove the pair to one of our partner veterinary offices   . After vetting   , she drove them to an adoptive couple in Cave Creek. They have a large grassy back yard and a small play pool, which    Kronos    immediately jumped into. The dogs settled in well and have enjoyed running and playing in the big yard. They met the resident cat with no issues, just curiosity. The adopter said he loves his doggies! He laughed and said he didn’t realize that such big pups could be lap dogs. Not particularly a fan of Klingons, he has renamed    Kronos    (the name    of the Klingons’ home world)    Rusty    and kept    Rhea’s    name.  Here is what the adopters had to say about the pair: 

Rusty    and    Rhea    have settled into their new brother-and-sister home per   fectly! Both dogs were the highlights of the Christmas party with    our guests.    Rusty    is a gentleman through and through. He never takes    Rhea's    treats even if he finishes before her and she sets hers    down. When playing, if    Rhea    gets hold of the ball, he will simply    stand near her until she is finished rolling around on it in the back    yard. Sometimes we give them apples and peanut butter treats and    he always waits for her to get hers first. That boy will chase a ball    and drop it back in our laps for hours if our arms hold out that long. As we're out on long walks, he keeps an eye on her so she is safe. He seems to be unaware of his size because he loves to roll over in our laps.
