Default My 14 year old golden to be put down soon.

I have a 14 year old golden retreaver, he has been a part of our family for as long as I can possibly remember. Unfortunatly his age has cought up to him and he has to be put down so he doesn't suffer his old age. He was supposed to live to 10 and not past 12, making him weak and sick. Though he still acts like a puppy he sleeps like a rock as well as feel like one at times. He has always been a loyal friend and a great playmate during those boring summer days, but now his time as come, and with in the month he will be put to sleep.

I pray that the last of his time will be most enjoyable and that his death will be pieceful and gentle. Thank you for reading this and wishing him a good time.

Pet him early and often.
It is never easy.

You have my heartfelt sympathy. I had to have my 13 year old bouvier one of two brothers put down a month ago. I know within the next year i will have to do it again.
Well said Glen!

Dogs have a loyalty and trust that few men will ever be blessed with.
It is a hard choice to make.
