In which a good dog's life is lived, and we are sad when it's all over
14 years is a good, long life for a Golden Retriever.

He lived the perfect life for a dog.

Of course, it doesn't seem nearly long enough to the people who are left behind.

Well done, Connor. Good dog. (2002 - 2016)
Dogspeed, Connor! We said goodbye to our 14 year old Aussie/Spaniel mix Sunshine on 01 November, the hurt is still here, but the warmth of her love and companionship lives on. As my husband says, "Dogs blaze through life." They light up our existence in a unique way. Their parting makes room for another. Connor, you will be missed!
ReplyDeleteIt's always so sad....and painful....when their time with us comes to an end. I'm so sorry for your loss and so happy Connor had such a good life.
