Our 8 1/2 year old Golden, Jax, passed away unexpectedly Saturday.
For him, if he had to go, I couldn't have designed it better. He was happy and appeared healthy right to the end. He went for his daily ride with my wife, which was a daily highlight for him. They got home and he went in the back yard to start crap with the neighbor's dogs through the fence-- also a fun pass time. He hopped backward like he had hurt his paw, pawed at his nose twice and collapsed. He was gone almost instantly. I don't know if he had a heart attack or an aneurysm or what. But, for him, I feel like it was perfect.
For us, we are shocked and devastated. He was a sweet, gentle soul and loved his people almost as much as we loved him. I remember when the breeder was describing him, he said when he let the litter out to play, Jax would typically stay in, preferring to be around his kids than play with the other dogs. He was true to billing and was a loyal and loving member of our family. He will be missed immensely.
Here's a pic of him at about Christmas and one pretty close to when we brought him home.
Rest in peace my friend and thank you for being a part of our lives.

Dang... That's just heartbreaking news. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend and companion, trekrok. I know how hard that is. Jax sounds like he was a great pup.
What a great tribute to a beautiful dog!!! I’m so sorry for your loss.
Trekrok I am sorry for your loss.....I love dogs and I know you must be heartbroken but keep the great memories in your heart and it'll get easier.
Oh, man, I am so sorry to hear that @trekrok ! That's awful! Sounds a lot like our little Beagle mix ... loving the rides and stirring up the neighbor's dogs. We used to raise goldens and they are such wonderful pets and true members of the family. Hang on to those memories and cherish them! Best wishes.
Jack Jack the throw away pup went to the vet today.
Good news is he gets to keep his bottom canines cause they're spreading out enough not to hit up top.
Bad news is he lost his balls. Walked in and weighed 81.4 lbs at 8 months old. Walked out weighing 81 lbs.

Norma Rae is spending the weekend with my grandson while Jack Jack recuperates. Looks like the boy has been wearing his monster masks to entertain her. I think she is wanting to come home already. LOL
