I just love them!!! We had a Golden, he was 13 when we had to put him down on New Years Eve, 2002. He had had another stroke, so we felt it best for him. I cried like I never thought. I still do whenever I think about it.
We also have a Keeshond, Jake age 9 and a cat, Laila age 1 1/2. Jake is not sure yet, and Laila has boycotted the entire family. Spencer doesn't know better, yet!!
