We adopted my golden retriever, Angel, about three years ago at the age of 8. She gave all the love she could and then her heart gave out. She went to the Rainbow Bridge on Monday. I miss her. I refer to her as "my" golden retriever because she picked me. She loved me unconditionally, she whined when I left the house, she waited for me to come home. She liked everyone and wanted everyone to like her, but she especially loved me.
She was fine on Sunday, but not on Monday. We knew something was wrong when we found her curled up outside instead of inside for breakfast. We rushed her to the emergency vet -- but her heart was definitely going. I kissed her good-bye and told her to look for Lady when she got to the bridge. She never knew Lady -- but I think they are romping together now and sharing stories of the love they received at our home. They gave us love too. Moses misses her too.
I'm sure in a few months, we will adopt another Golden to love, but right now, I'm just missing Angel.

I am so sorry for your loss. Your family is so sweet to take in these Golden Oldies. Older dogs deserve a loving home to live out their years and I can't imagine a better home than yours.
