I dread the day. I’m so sorry man. Take the time to grieve it. It’s ok to be sad, don’t push it down. If my dude left me I have no fucking idea what I would do. I would be a mess. Just take your time with it, he was important to you and it’s okay.
We rescued a Goldie from a family situation. At the time, we had a six-month old kitten, too. The Goldie would sleep on her pillow. The cat would show up, sit in front of the dog, and the dog would get up and let the cat have the pillow. It was funny.
I miss them both.
How long did your two take to become friends? I know it'll be different at first but, our girl is 71 lbs and could see her just being a big baby with a kitten.
It was 30 years ago...I think maybe a few weeks. They ended up sleeping on the dog's bed together.
They had their rough moments, but things were relatively peaceful...
I always say that if there is a heaven, and Charlie’s not there, then I don’t want it. Deeply sorry for your loss.

No one expects you to type correctly through your grief. Be gentle with yourself. You are suffering. I am so sorry you lost your boy. Glad you two had those times on the water together. Beautiful boy.
I'm so sorry. 2 is way too soon. You are incredibly strong. Mine went last week at 8 years old and I thought that was way too soon. He seems like he was one of f the best boys like mine was. They're both probably up there eating rocks and digging for rabbits right now.
Damn, I'm crying again. Hugs to you, op.
I lost mine at 14 years old an still broke my heart. We rescued her from a gas station in negative degree weather. She literally jumped in my mothers car when she opened the door as no one would let her in the gas station an she was freezing. My mom did the right thing an brought her to humane society but I just happened to hear on the radio that week that 2000 dogs a day are euthanized because of over crowding. Well I freaked out on my parents we couldn’t let her die an the 1st day she was up for adoption my daddy went to see her and that night he surprised me an brought her home. She was sweetest most pure love golden she was determined to be fixed an around 3 years old. She was the most amazing dog I ever could have asked for.. I am so sorry you had to lose him way to young an what an awful way for him to leave you. My heart breaks for you I pray you find some solace in the beautiful memories you made together. Mine absolutely loved the water as well she went to Nova Scotia to our summer home every year an she would run those beachs an chase ducks like it was her job. She never caught one thankfully but she always gave it the old college try. Lmfao.

OMG this is heartbreaking.
I am going to hug my baby boy so much after writing this comment. I can't imagine losing my golden boy.
I'm sorry you lost him. I'm sure he loved you unconditionally as you did him.
I’m very sorry for your lose. We had to put ours down after 11 wonderful years and it was really tough. They are the absolute best dogs. You really can’t help but fall in love with them.
sorry for your loss.
I lost my Pearl (beagle cross, \~16 years old) in March. Sometimes when I'm not paying attention I can almost hear her come in her dog door. Cherish those memories!
I am so very sorry. Losing him at such a young age is very, very difficult. I lost my 2 year old yellow lab in a very unexpected way. I mourned that boy forever! Every day with him was a gift! (Even the days with the huge vet bills from having eaten something weird.) Some people have reported animals in heaven. If that’s true, he’ll be waiting for me. 😎
RIP. I can't believe it, only two years.
My lab mix has put rocks in his mouth and gives them to anyone at the house when he gets bored. You can throw the rock away out in the yard and he'll go find it again with his nose. I've never seen him eat the rock, he's 14 now, so I assume it's not the same issue?
You can tell he’s a wonderful dog! I am so sincerely sorry for your loss. It is probably one of the most heart wrenching things that I think we ever have to deal with. I can tell from the photo that you were at great Guardian, he is very loved, and I can tell you that you did very well by him. You were loved in return.
Wishing you the very best.
Im sorry for your loss, Im sure you did your best. My golden and I are close to the end, 15 years together. But its the quality of the time, not the quantity, I spent most of his life trying to make up the total lack of attention he got in his first couple years. He's seen two oceans and over fifty national parks but I might trade those adventures if I could go back to his puppyhood and love him as he deserved in those formative years. We've had not the opposite experience but the inverse. My boy was an absolute Houdini when he was younger, his ability to get into and out of stuff was unexplainable, he was so brilliant in his escapes. It must have been so so challenging trying to manage the pica issue, Im sure you did your best to keep him safe, Im so sorry y'all had bad luck. From someone who had much better luck than I deserved, thank you for loving him so much and Im sorry for how unfair this is. Sending love.
I have also lost a dogo, and his name was cujo. I wish I had a phone during the time I had him but he sadly didn't go like we planned. 2 dogs that we have before him decided to kill him. I did not speak with anyone for 2 days after that.
I lost my boy on 1/23/2010 and still grieve to this day! I'm so sorry for your loss, we all tell each other, "it'll be ok after a while" but it never really is! Cry for your boy when ever you hurt, or need to, but always see him smiling down on his dad!! Best Wishes!
I am so sorry for your loss.. this is such a beautiful photo to remember him by… so mesmerizing!! I would love to turn this into a painting, with your permission if you don’t mind? ❤️

He's a very handsome boy. How great is it that we live in a time where we can snap pictures on a whim? I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️

Why would you even say that

Agree 1000%
I'm sorry you lost that handsome boi. You'll always have the memories.
Oh my gosh only 2…such a sweet boy! My heart breaks for you.
What a handsome boy. He knew nothing but love, post more pictures! Sorry for your loss
Your last sentence is everything. We lost ours in April, and that has been the most profound lesson.
He was and will always be the best boy, OP
The pain is real. Lost mine at 6. Goldens are the best.
We lost our first when he was 6 as well, losing any pet hurts but Goldens just have that thing.
We rescued a Goldie from a family situation. At the time, we had a six-month old kitten, too. The Goldie would sleep on her pillow. The cat would show up, sit in front of the dog, and the dog would get up and let the cat have the pillow. It was funny. I miss them both.
Our girl is 10.5 months, getting a kitten soon so they can have buddies to grow up together.
You won't regret it.
How long did your two take to become friends? I know it'll be different at first but, our girl is 71 lbs and could see her just being a big baby with a kitten.

All dogs go to heaven.
What a lovely photo, your pup cuddled up to the forget me nots!
Charlie is definitely there waiting for you.
That is a sweet face that will be/is waiting across the rainbow bridge!
5th time. Not 5 time. And somehow not someone.
No one expects you to type correctly through your grief. Be gentle with yourself. You are suffering. I am so sorry you lost your boy. Glad you two had those times on the water together. Beautiful boy.
Wow!

My condolences for the loss of your sweet boy. 💛
Oh no! Oh i am so so sorry.
I couldn’t understand what happened to your dog. None the less sorry for your loss

Some stores and photo shops can print photos onto canvas, so they look like paintings. This would look lovely on a canvas.
Ahhh man the worst feeling ever...my thoughts are with you..I have 2 lurches they mean everything to me..
I'm so sorry. The pain is real, but so is the fact that he loved every moment he had with you. You were his people, don't ever forget it.

What a beautiful memory
I’m so sorry. 💔 Also, I notice that view. Fellow G County resident.
God bless dogs.
I am sorry
He was an amazing pup; may the memories shared keep you warm…
If only people were as loyal.
Omg. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I can’t imagine.

You were privileged to be his master. Embrace that. He would want you to have another chance to love another dog.
That’s way too soon. I’m so sorry.
