  1. Yep! My Golden is as close to my heart as was my Shepherd. Also my little old man I lost recently. Buddy was a Heinz 57 but the best little guy ever. I held him till he drew his last breath.

  2. When my first Golden got to the point where he wasn’t eating, I had little choice but to have him put to sleep. 🙁 He was 18 years old and suffering from hemangiosarcoma. 🙁 I even hand feed him baby food till where he just wouldn’t eat. They simply could not help him. I will never forget him looking at me and that last look as if to say, “Thank you.”

  3. This is my golden Hobie. She is named after my grandfather who not showed me a love for this wonderful breed, but reminded so much of one himself. Kind and gentle. Our Hobie was missing and we were reunited today. Can’t tell you how much I miss my pap, but somehow I still have a part of him.

  4. I was bawling long before I got to #20, I sill miss our “Goldie” so much even though we said good bye to him 24 yearrs ago this month. 🙁 I remember all of these things and especially #20 and as hard as it was I would do it again

  5. In about nine days it will be one year since we lost our Shelby after a 20 month bout with cancer…how good a golden was she? When she woke up from radiation, she would go around and check on the other dogs and leg hug the technicians….try receiving that information without crying….

  6. Just came across the replies about my two goldens. Bud past away by a seizure at 17years old and Max two weeks later was euthanized as he was in Kidney failure. He passed in my arms and to this day when he passed I could feel his soul go threw my body. People might think i’m crazy bu that feeling I will never forget. I still miss them after four years.
