With every dog Ive had to say goodby to its gotten harder and harder. My last hunting dog was so hard I havnt been able to bring myself to get another. We have two lap dogs now, a boxer and a Bichon. I told my wife its going to be her job to take them in that final time but in the end I know its going to be on me. Its a terrible thing to lose your dog man, I feel for you and your family.
They are smart tho arent they? Most of all goldens. All my dogs Ive only had to say, "go with your mother", and they leave the room with my wife every time. Ive had friends who hunted goldens and they always were wonderful animals to be around.
