We'd have to put some starch in her ears but she'd do just fine here!
so very sorry for your loss. Dogs can steal our heartsOur 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.
