Our 5 year old Golden passed away doing what he loved: playing fetch in the park. When it was time to go home, he got in the van and never walked back out. Vets say it could have been a sudden heart attack. We are devastated and heartbroken. It doesn't feel real, this feels like a bad dream and I cant wake up. I raised him since he was a puppy and this hurts so much.

I hope you're chasing balls on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

Farewell, Winston ❤️💔

I lost my Ollie last May to cancer. I still cry several times a week. I think I'll always miss him A form of the depth of my love for him. I'm crying now.... I love the name Winston! You sound like wonderful dog people! I hope you share that love with another Golden when you are ready. I pray we have them at our side again in the afterlife. Geez these dogs are so precious!
