We lost our golden last night...

Keli · Sep 30, 2003

Last night our golden retriever passed away. She was very sick and not responding to treatment very well so we realized that she might not make it and towards the end we knew she wouldn't. She was supposed to be my dog. After all I found the breeder, bought the dog, and trained her. And although she loved Dave and I she was hopelessly devoted to Ashli. She was Ashli's partner in crime in Ash's elementary years and in recent years it was Ashli's bed she climbed onto every night. Here are some pictures of Ashli and Shadow taken this summer.

Warm summer sun shine kindly here;
Warm southern wind blow softly here;
Green sod above lie light, lie light -
Goodnight, dear heart,
Goodnight, goodnight.

{{{Hugs}}} for you, Keli, and for your DD. Pets are a HUGE part of the family, and losing them is always difficult. My dog (black lab/husky mix) will be turning 11 in January and is definately slowing down. We are starting to prepare for the day when we have to put him down, but it's difficult even thinking about it. My thoughts are with you and your family. {{{Hugs}}}

Keli,

So sorry for the loss of your pet. I think many non-pet people don't understand that you do go through a grieving period for an animal. They don't get that the animal was treated as part of the family. I hope you and your family find peace as you cope with your loss. Hugs coming your way.

I am so sorry to hear your sad news Keli. I am a mom to cats, but love dogs too, and know how much they become part of your family. I wish I knew how to ease your pain. I hope the happy memories of your years with Shadow will bring you much comfort in the days to come.
You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

What a pretty puppy. {{{{Hugs}}}}

I am so sorry. We lost our 12 year old Golden a few months ago. They are members of the family that are loved and very much missed when they're gone. I am so thankful DH talked me into getting another Golden a couple of years ago. I don't know what I would have done when Max died if we didn't have Jake.

What nice pictures, Keli, and memories. Shadow looks so nice there with Ashli. I really like that one of them both out supporting Titus.

Just remember, Keli, Shadow is waiting for you all.......

<center>Just this side of heaven is a place
called Rainbow Bridge. 
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet
goes to Rainbow Bridge. 
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and
play together. 
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and
comfortable. 
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those
who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember
them in our dreams of days and times gone by. 
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss
someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. 
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and
looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs
carrying him faster and faster. 
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you
cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses
rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once
more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never
absent from your heart. 
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Hi Keli, I'm also Kelly. We are in Alaska. We just lost our 14 year old Golden (DOJE, pronounced Dough-Gee) last Wednesday the 26th to a hit and run accident. He wasn't hearing very well, my husband let him run free in our neighborhood, we live in a remote area, but there is a lot of new construction going on since its a new subdivision. Needless to say, he died on the spot. Poor old guy. He was a faithful friend for many years. I am still grieving for him, it will be a week tomorrow. It just seems so quiet without him barking and just being him. He was old, so maybe he would have died this year anyway, but in such a tragic manner, it just seems so awful.

So HUGS to you and your family, because we can grieve right along with you, since we just went through this. We can give thanks to all those wonderful years that we had them, and never forget. I believe that Doje is an angel dog now, watching over us and frolicking in the endless meadows, playing just like when he was a pup. He's there with my dad, uncles and aunts and many other friends. Its a warm, safe place where we shall meet someday. Shadow looked so sweet and content, just like Doje was. God Bless them and all others who have gone with them. Kelly Powell
