I suppose I should explain the name. To get it out of the way, my real name is Daniel. However, Shane was a yellow lab. Hence the gold. His name is Shane so it just kinda came together. Goldenshane. (Or is it GoldenShane? I could never tell. I just mesh it all into one giant name). Please, continue to call me Shane.

Oh, and the Marley and Me thing shouldn't be surprising. While Shane was an amazing dog and very obedient, they are both Yellow Labs.
