So very sorry for your loss.

I lost my Hunny too, also a golden, April 4th. We too had to give her her angel wings - she had cancer too. She was diagnosed last summer, just a few days after we lost our other beloved dog, Lily, suddenly and unexpectedly. Hunny lost two toes to this horrible disease. But she fought a strong, hard and courageous battle. Unfortunately, the cancer returned full force and we just couldn't keep her here to suffer through what was sure to be a painful and humiliating end. Hunny was a very proud dog. Both my angels were only eight when they left us.

I miss them both every second of every day. But I am so grateful for this site. I found it just a few days before we lost Hunny. The people here are wonderful, they helped me through the very awful time of having to send Hunny to be with Lily.

Maybe our three angels have met each other and are having fun at the Rainbow Bridge.

Love and hugs to all of our precious angels who now look down upon us.

my condolenses! hunny was so beautiful. i know how hard it is for you now. but hold on to the wonderful memories and to the fact that one day we will all be reunited with our precious one that we have lost over the years. i truly believe that once they leave us they become our little angels. hunny is looking after you now. take it one day at a time and come write as often as you need to. we are here for you and we know the pain that you are having to deal with. you are not alone.

may the lord grant you peace.

I'm so sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful dog. It makes it so hard when it happens so quickly.....its a shock to the system to say the least. The same thing happened with my dog Keesha.....she was fine as far as I knew one day, she breaks her leg and goes for surgery, they discover she has bone cancer and is gone just like that. Its not fair.....this site really helps. Visit it as much as you can. Take care.

Hi Scott,

I can fully appreciate the pain that you are going through right now. On July 20, my best buddy, Harley, left this world after having a cancerous tumour rupture in his stomach. I have noticed these past few days that I have thought of him quite a bit and feel the odd tear forming. Life does go on, but I'm thankful for this forum and for all the great people in here. It helps to know that I'm not alone in this time.

Honey sounded like a wonderful dog. I'm so sorry for your loss.

One thing that has helped me tremendously has been to keep a journal. I write almost every day and begin each page with, "Dear Harley" I find it has helped me remember a lot of the fun times in spite of the pain I am feeling.

We can only hope to be half the people are dogs thought we were the day they met us.

Take care
Ben

That is so beautiful Ben.

Thank you all for your outreaching and support , this site is a god send for so many people. We all share the same first hand knowledge of losing our " kids". Just reading the posts and advice has help to know that We Are Not Alone. God bless.

Hi everyone,

I was thinking of how our little fur kids teach us in so many ways, but how we can find the joy in them so much in the memories we have of them. My little Harley went everywhere with us and traveled more places that most people. Of course it was always tricky finding hotels that would accept dogs and when they did they would charge you all sorts of money for deposits, etc.

This past spring, my fiancee and I ran in the Vancouver Sun Run, and there was no way I was going to leave Harley at home. I have gotten back into running after a 14 year hiatus, and I owe some of that to the fact that it was Harley who got me out the door for a walk each day. Anyway I went down early for meetings and left Harley alone in the room, wondering if he was going to be ok. Well, not only as he ok, he sprawled out near the headboard of the kingsize bed and snoozed until I got him at lunch. We joked that he was a dog who got to stay in a 5-star hotel and hog the bed by laying between us all sprawled out.

Next year, I will be running the Vancouver Sun Run in memory of my Harley Parley and I will be wearing his picture somwhere on my running gear.

Peace & Love
Ben

That's so sweet.

nice story ben, thanks for sharing. best wishes at the run,i'm sure with your inspiration of Harley you will do well. Honey wasn't much of a traveler, she got nervous in vehicles, but she did know how to use a bed,most all of it. every evening no matter what the weather (west n.y.) we went on our mile walk, no matter how bad the day went just watching her enjoy her walk (no collar, no leash) was my stress relief and would put problems out of mind and give reason for looking forward to tomorrow. I miss you big girl. Scott

Well its been 4wks. to the day i had to let you go, seems everything is now measured in '' honey'' time, the lack of your presence in the house is sometimes deafining,everyday i visit you at your grave. i still find myself looking for you for a second, or looking at your water bowl to see if you need some fresh, i miss you big girl and you don't even know your not here. sorry just needed to vent a little,God Bless, Scott

I know just what you mean about "Honey time"! I've been doing the same thing. She was a beautiful gal and so lucky to be so very loved.

how are you doing scott?

Scott, Honey was so beautiful, besides my Taffy who I lost in June she is one of the prettiest dogs I have ever seen. I know you must feel terrible right now because I feel the same way, just try and remember the good times, thinking of all the fun days I shared with Taffy makes me feel better and I'm sure Honey would want you to be happy.

patricia and TaffysSister, thank you for your very kind words and inquiries, 5 wks. on tues. , i have been doing ok ,you know when we are busy its not so bad, but times when we come home, or are sitting in the eve,or the morn. routine its hard. We used to walk every day,so i miss that alot. Yes, she was a beautiful girl and very laid back, never in a rush just had her own pace. I hope that all is well with everyone as we all cope with the same feelings, this board has helped me alot. It makes me feel better to help others cope also. Forgive me i am not a very good typer so my posts are kind of short and not well written. Thank you again ,god bless Scott

Honey, its been 8 wks. since you had to leave,the house is empty without you. Your toys ,bed, and food bowl are just as you left, can't put them away yet, it would only feel more ''not right''. I am thinking of getting another pup but i dont want to rush, you will never be replaced, but i miss the companionship of a great dog ,it just keeps my mind clear. I still visit you daily, the leaves are starting to fall on your grave, seasons are changing, you loved the fall. Thanks for being my big girl Love and Miss You.

God Bless Scott

I understand your pain. I'm so sorry. Been 8 days now with out my big snow bear Kito, He was my life....

hang in there scott. youre not alone.
