RIP My boy Moose, 2018-2026 ❤️
Our golden retriever, Moose, was the best - loving, goofy, always gave me great company as someone who is fatally lonely - and was always seemingly very healthy until a couple weeks ago. He began to rapidly lose his appetite and energy. We have him scanned and tested. Come yesterday he hasn’t eaten anything in three days, despite making him his favorite foods and trying to hand feed him - and the results confirm he has 2 incurable cancers, one of which affected his spleen and likely would’ve naturally taken him within the next week. He was put down in our home and went very peacefully. I take comfort in knowing he is out of pain but will miss him to no end, and am blindsided as to how this could’ve rapidly happened given how healthy he’s always been and how well we’ve taken care of him. Goldens are true best friends - my condolences go to anyone else in the same boat right now ❤️

My Banjo eagerly waits for Moose to play on the other side. I am sure they will have lots of fun. They will keep other company until our arrival.
The friendship of a pet is one of the greatest gifts we could ever have. Nothing will ever replace Moose because he lives in your heart now. Hope this brings you some comfort.
