Everybody's friend, the golden retriever is known for its devoted and obedient nature as a family companion.
The Golden Retriever's kindly expression says it all. This is one of the finest family dogs in the world: cheerful, demonstrative, trustworthy with everyone, and forgiving of any mistakes made by inexperienced owners.
It’s been often said that dogs are the only creatures on earth that love you more than they love themselves. Well, Golden Retrievers are no exception!
But sometimes, we take our furry friends and wonderful companions for granted. There are important life lessons that are sometimes easy to forget in our hectic lives, that all Golden Retriever owners must never forget.
If we want to pay back the favor and give them the best life possible, these 20 important reminders should serve you well as awesome Golden Retriever owners. The last one (#20) brought me to tears…
Check out the 20 Things All Golden Retriever Owners Must Never Forget on the next page:

My poor husband nearly gave up when our gorgeous golden girl died. He developed a reaction in his body that tried to shut it down called reactive rheumatoid arthritis. Not only did we lose our gorgeous girl i nearly lost him. Life was at the lowest point for me, the two living things i cared the most about were leaving me. Ask me how much she meant to us………….. we will never get over it and we will love her forever.

When I had to say goodbye for the last time my buddy knew I could not be in the room with him and he understood so my wife held him but I was able to say goodbye before and after and I know he understood. He went way to young, 8 due to cancer.
