Roscoe McFarland-Soderberg
Our youngest Golden of three, Roscoe (GRREAT #07-060) always deferred to the other two. When our 15-year-old could no longer go on long walks, Roscoe always looked back for him. And he was hopelessly smitten with our 10-year-old female, adoringly following her everywhere. Roscoe was the only dog we have ever known to “talk.” When it was time for dinner or walkies, he would stand before us and soundlessly move his mouth in extraordinary contortions, in an apparent attempt to simulate human speech and thereby get quicker results. He was always “there.” During the night, he left his bed to lie on the floor next to his people’s bed. When the first person got up and went into the shower, he followed and stood guard throughout. Wherever you were, Roscoe could be depended upon to join you. His devotion was unwavering and, in kind, he will be forever cherished in memory. Mary Ann McFarland and Steve Soderberg
