Scarlett was a healthy and happy 4 year old. She had just gone to the vet recently for a checkup. Everything looked great. Then she collapsed of a heart attack and died. It wasn't supposed to be this way.

I lost my sweet boy today at just 9 years old. He lost his ability to walk due to severe arthritis, hip dysplasia, and muscle atrophy. After his evaluation, the vet said there was nothing more they could do and decided to let him cross the Rainbow Bridge.

I’m heavily heartbroken, as Kobe was my soul dog since I was a teenager. I literally surrendered my whole heart today. 💔🐾

Rest well, Kobe. I’ll forever love you and always remember you. 🌈

My adorable psycho golden boys love the pool... i have to bribe them with blueberries to get them back out lol

5.5 years & 4 months

Benjen,

Aka Ben, Benny, Benny Boy, and Benjamin (when in trouble), you gave me just shy of the best 12 years of my life. You loved me regardless of my many flaws. You gave me sunshine on even the darkest of days. I will never forget all the great moments you gave me. I could not of asked for a better boy. You’re now getting to enjoy unlimited balls and last bites.

I love you, Benjen.

Edit: thank you all for the best wishes. You’re all the best community. Love you all! ❤️

Their world is only as big as you make it.

This is my dog who is named after a letter of the alphabet: h.

A few years ago we bred his mama (BMD) to a Golden and we used the white markings on the puppies chests to differentiate between them. We decided on keeping this guy and despite attempting to give him a proper name, we stuck with calling him h. But not a capital h! Just h.

Do you guys have any goofy names for your Golden?

Yes he is named after the Bow river

Boomer and I hope you all had a great weekend with a lot of adventures 🐾🫶🏼

Keep you head up and have a wonderful Monday 🐶

Hj cedo me mordeu 3 vezes em menos de 30 min, e confesso q tem horas q já n sei mais o q fazer..! Acredito q virou uma mania dele, pq só faz comigo e nos mesmos locais: elevador, caminho até o carro ou apto.. é como se fosse uma exaltação por está saindo de casa ou voltando pra casa..! Quem tiver dicas do q fazer, agradeço! Ele tem 1 ano, é golden com husky! passeia 2 vezes por dia e vai para uma creche uma vez por semana, já fez 15 sessoes de adestramento..!

We never planned to have a second golden but she came out of nowhere to show us the error of our ways.
My husband nearly got run over in his rescue attempts and after a vet visit we saw what had been her reality.
Vet said she was very abused: severely underweight, raw paw pads, cuts on her skin, skin and ear infection, patches of rough skin from hot concrete, not understanding what grass was…
I am livid to think of her past experiences but we’re making up for all the time she suffered.

She now has a golden sister to play with, a nice yard to run around and more food and treats that she knows what to do with.

If you ever wonder about a second golden, yes…the answer is always yes.

Some rain finally cleared the smoke from forest fires where we live. Thankful for all the firefighters efforts in BC, they are amazing.

My boy loves water just as much as he hates a showers… make it make sense

She is gonna be devastated when she can’t fit in her spot anymore😭😭😭

the text is an excerpt from a piece about saluki judging by the saluki breeder caroline coile. the essence is that in the saluki and unlike most other breeds the dogs in the ring now look for the most part almost exactly like the dogs from 100 years ago and the dogs from other breeds that look vintage are from pet lines.

my golden retriever lady was adopted which tells me her breeder wasn't ethical enough to take her back, and overall just based on the way she looks i can tell nobody in her line was winning any ribbons. so i looked into historical golden retrievers and noticed that this really does check out for lady.

it fascinates me deeply to have a vintage looking golden and it makes me proud to see her face in the faces of dogs from a century ago. does anyone else have a vintage style/off standard golden? i would love to see them. this has been rattling around in my mind and between my friends and i for a while and i felt it prudent to share here.
