The Golden Retriever Queen Wore Rubies and Pearls and Smiled Kindly
Her Majesty has the warmest face in the kingdom. A Golden Retriever sits tall beneath a gold crown studded with rubies, sapphires, and pearls, her golden fur soft around her cheeks. A deep red velvet robe patterned with gold fleurs-de-lis falls over her shoulders, covered by a thick white ermine cape speckled in black. Her brown eyes are gentle and calm, and behind her, green curtains and old patterned wallpaper make the room feel hushed and grand.
Golden Retrievers are known for their friendly, patient, and gentle nature, and they are often wonderful with families and children. They were bred as retrievers, so they love to carry things, swim, and play fetch. They need daily exercise and mental games, and they are happiest with plenty of company. Their thick coat sheds regularly, so brushing helps. Goldens are eager to please, which makes training enjoyable, and they tend to love food, so measured meals support a healthy weight. Your vet can advise on joints, diet, and care.
The painter has caught the glow of her fur against the red robe. She wears the crown lightly, as if it were nothing more than a hat, and the kindness in her face is what makes her a queen. Any subject who comes to her court will leave with a wag, a lick, and perhaps a ball.
