I'm writing with tears streaming down my face - because I can relate to the love you had with this beautiful animal and to the pain of having to say goodbye. Our animals are our family and it sounds like Dodge was a very special part of yours. I know he's still with you - just not in the same way as before. Hugs my sweet friend - love you!!Audrey Hiltkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01062993109190515983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039375478361026249.post-55632089380183336172014-08-01T11:20:04.146-04:002014-08-01T11:20:04.146-04:00I enjoyed reading about your ball of fur!

My oldest dog passed away today. And I feel like a child has left me. I have two dogs who belonged to my hubby and I. But mainly to him. When I lost him they were much needed comfort to me. And now one is gone. My heart is broken again. What a wonderful tribute and I must go before I get upset again. joann sassy raggedySassy Raggedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306962939287679043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039375478361026249.post-90886110508901302332014-07-30T18:11:09.489-04:002014-07-30T18:11:09.489-04:00Tears!

I'm smiling through the tears and I love the pictures of Dodge through the years. I'm going through a similar time with my 13 year old baby (going to be 14 in Sept) - the hearing, the cataracts, loss of strength in the legs. How great that you have a vet who is willing to make house calls. That is so precious that Dodge could spend his last moments at home with his family. Hugs, my sweet friend!!<br />Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829273040470077482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039375478361026249.post-6207697332183047872014-07-30T08:14:08.075-04:002014-07-30T08:14:08.075-04:00Now there are tears running down my face….because ...Now there are tears running down my face….because we are about to face the same thing with our golden. You are so right, it is never easy!! Luca has lost his hearing, but he still gets around well….not as spry as he once was but he manages….but it's the fact that he's almost 11 years old….and the average age of a male golden is 12, and our last one only made it to 13, I cherish every day and cry when I think we might only have a couple more years at best. Then we say no more, it' s too painful, no more, and then eventually we weaken…….hugs to you Dawn, I know the deep feelings of loss, it took me months to climb out of my funk when our last one died….cyber hugs and lots of sympathetic thoughts.
