Goodbye, my dear friend

[Marmalady]

Today I had to let the vet put my lovely old golden retriever to sleep. He was 12 and a half years old.

I feel devastated, I can't stop crying, but there was nothing else to be done. My son is heartbroken, he's never known a home without Sandy. He was such a bouncy happy dog, always a huge smile and as gentle as a lamb.

I hope he could hear me telling him I loved him.

That's horrible. I'm so sorry to hear it. Losing a pet is one of the hardest things we experience.

Reminds me of when we lost our retriever/lab mix a few years ago. I'm so sorry for your loss. *offers her kitties for hugs if you want*
