    Angry O.T. Losing my Golden

    Hi all, Just wanted you to know my sweet, adorable, golden/collie friend is dying. Her name is Blondie. She's 12 yrs old and I've had her for 6 yrs. She seems comfortable for now, but I'll most likely take her to the vet to be put to sleep on monday. I don't want her to suffer. I've had her for a long time and I'm sure going to miss her. Jennifer

    Jennifer, I'm so sorry for you and Blondie. I lost my golden, Sheena, to cancer when she was only 9, so I know what a heartbreaking experience you're going through. Hugs to both of you, from me and Cocoa (the chocolatey fellow in my avatar).

    I'm so sorry to hear about Blondie. Me and my three goldens--Maud, Agnes, and Maeve--send the two of you good thoughts. It's a brave, loving, completely selfless thing to let go of your sweet puppy, so you can spare her pain and discomfort.

    Oh, I'm so sorry for you and Blondie. My heart goes out to both of you right now. You're doing the right thing, although I know it's breaking your heart to do so... If Blondie could talk, she'd simply say "thank you, mom."
    Hugs...

    I am sorry for your pain. Our four-legged friends depend on us to take care of them, and to decide when the suffering is too much. Know that you love your friend, she loves you, and you are doing what is best, despite the hurt you feel.

    I had to put my 10 year old mastiff down in May. He had cancer and was having seizures because it had spread to his brain. It's sad, but a fact of life that we generally outlive our pets.

    Take care,

    Southside Sally
