Randallflagg, I feel your pain man.
We have 2 Golden’s. We got the second one cause my wife is worried about me when my boy passes. He’s about 10.5.
He had a tumor on his leg bust open and get infected. The one night he was crying I couldn’t take it. I ended up laying on the concrete garage floor with him all night crying right beside him.
Next morning I was a complete disaster. I just knew it was time and begrudgingly woke my daughter to ask for help.
We took him to the emergency vet and my daughter had to check him in cause I was comatose, smh.
It ended up being just that, bad infection. The other G and him play all the time and sometimes she gets aggressive wanting him to keep playing so she starts biting on him, smh.

I’m sorry Chris. This is by far the worst part of having a dog as your best friend.
My Dad had his last 2 dogs ashes mixed with his. Then he asked they be spread on his garden.
Sister and I took some and dumped them in a beautiful cove off Oregon coast while out fishing. I have the longitude, latitude, was gonna have it tattooed.
