Oh Jeff.... I am so very sorry for your loss. This can be a very difficult experience for people who love their pets as children. They truly are part of the family!
I'd be lost without my pal. My wife and I just celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary and as much as we love kids... we were never able to have any of our own. This is our second golden. He is 10 and was actually born on my birthday!!! Our first golden lived to be 13 years and 3 months.
Thank you for your very kind words and I wish you all the very best in 2025!
Don
