My brother just lost one of his Golden’s suddenly this morning.  Diagnosed with heart swelling yesterday gone today.  Only 9 years old.  

That's terrible

Flying to PBI from HVN 6:30 Friday morning. Headed to Miami for a few days for a bachelor party. Hoping that will at least take my mind off things after this week but much, much looking forward to a few days of temperatures around 80 with a touch of humidity. 

Thinking of adopting another one? I didn't want to after I lost mine last year but my wife found one and I love her and so happy she's around.

Pet loss can be more difficult than a human family member. My sister just lost her Frenchie out in San Fran during the heat wave. They live on the third floor with no AC, never needed it in the past, 99% of the time the temps are comfortable. Dog passed away from heat stroke, only 3. Goldens unfortunately don’t have the best life span due to overbreeding. But man, what a great dog to have.

Yes we 1000% will be, but probably not until later in the summer. 

My girlfriend will begin bar prep in about a month and is taking the exam the end of July and I will be doing two classes over the summer ( I debated taking the summer off but if I do two classes fall/spring/summer I will have my masters end of summer 2027) and they are only 10 week courses so we both are going to be super swamped. 

We both absolutely want to though. She adopted the dog when she lived in Florida, found him at the shelter when he was only 6 months old and she said he was badly abused. The first time I met my girlfriend and came to her house the dog and I got along right away. This dog was absolutely the most best, loving, sweet, and caring dog ever and he had such an amazing life and we want to provide that option to another dog too. 

We still have a cat so we're not totally pet-less.

I have a 9yo golden, turning 10 in April. Starting to groan a lot and getting arthritic. It sucks

Yeah my lab is 11 and I know that day is coming.  Anything past 12 years old is borrowed time.
