OT--Quin our Golden has gone

dlynch · 07-19-2008, 02:44 PM

We had a Vet come to our house to help out. She was 14 (bless all those years and memories). We did that so the other dog would know that she was dead.
Our 4 year old Golden Charlot is moping around the house looking for her. So am I.

Very sorry for your loss

Condolences to your family.

She is in a better place, chasing cats and frisbees!

Putting down our pets are always the hardest things to do, but watching your friend suffer isn't right. It was the best thing to do, and they are looking down thanking you.

Dave,

Post up a fav picture of your dog. I would like to see one.

14 years... I'm sure they were very good 14 years of memories!

Never had a dog. Many of my friends have one and they become very close friends to them.

Sorry for your loss.
-Bill.

Thanks all! My wife is suffering too. It WAS the right thing to do. And we're lucky to have shared those years.
I'll post a picture, gladly, when I can see straight.

I love Morrison, too sweet and very loving dog.

Sorry to hear your news Dave. It's hard to say goodbye to our pets who become so much part of the family.

As Racer44 said,,chasing frisbees, cats, plus unlimited treats now.

Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
