Parenting after 35

My dog (sad)

My 10 year old golden retriever died unexpectedly today.

DH and I are devastated. She was our first child and one of Matt's first phrases was "good girl" because we said it so much.

I am so numb right now.

  • So sorry Amy. Losing a pet is tough. My sympathies.
  • What a gorgeous dog!  That is so heartbreaking.  I went through the numbness 3 years ago and found that, when the time is right, getting a puppy (or in our case, taking in our neighbor's cat) really helped us.

    I am so glad that Matt had the opportunity to know her.  How is he handling the loss?

    My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.  (((HUGS))))

  • I am so very sorry. We lost 2 of our babies last year (12 year old rottie and 10 year old St. Bernard). It was not a good doggie year in our house.

  • OMGosh Amy!  I am so so sorry!  I am sitting here crying as I type this.  Crying  Goldens really are the best dogs ever.  I have an old girl too, so I know how much they become a member of the family.  Again, so very sorry honey! 

    ((((Great big hugs))))

  • I am so sorry!  I can't even imagine.  I too loved the family pic with Molly!

  • Ugh, I am so sorry.  Our dog is a year older than Owen - so it makes me sad thinking about going through this eventually.

  • I am SO, SO sorry! :( I know it's hard to lose a pet that's been a part of the family, esp for that long.

  • I'm so sorry to hear about Molly.  I'm sure you gave her the best 10 years and right now she's across the Rainbow Bridge hiking up those mountain peaks and chasing squirrels and making lots of new doggy friends.  It really sucks that dogs don't live anywhere near as long as their human companions.  Hugs.

  • I am so sorry to hear this.  T & Ps to you, DH and Matt.  It is amazing what joy a dog (or any pet) brings into our lives.  Thank goodness Matt was able to be around such a great dog.
  • I am so sorry to hear about your loss.  We had to put my two old girls (kitties) to sleep while I was pregnant and it was so hard.

  • Amy,

    I'm so terribly sorry for your loss.  Molly was a gorgeous dog (and DH and I love Goldens in particular and plan to get one someday). Those sudden losses are the worst. Losing a furbaby is hard no matter what, but when you aren't "prepared" it's rough.  Actually, my BFF's beagle mix (also named Molly) died unexpectedly a few years ago, and it was so hard.

    Thinking of you, your DH and Matt.  (((HUG)))

  • I'm so sorry for your loss. Our 11 yr old cat died suddenly too, when Adrian was 3 months old. He never got to really meet her. We were so sad, we cried a lot, especially DH. I was too busy with the baby to cry for too long but I was still sad. We paid money to get her cremated and keep her ashes at a Florida no-kill shelter. The money went to pay for supplies, meds, etc for the pets that live there, so we felt like it was a good thing to do in honor of our sweet kitty Minina.

  • I am so sorry. ((hugs))

    I love that picture of her with her gray (I mean platinum blond) face, checking out your belly. So expressive. She is like, "you got something in there for me????".

  • I am so sorry! I don't know if you remember but I just lost my dog Maya in August and it was devastating. I still think that I hear her tags sometimes and we still find her hair on things. It will get better for you guys though as time passes.
  • Amy, I am so very sorry for your loss.

  • Oh my gosh Amy! Words cannot express how sorry I am. My sister's fur babies are Goldens, and I always smile and think of them when I see Molly's picture. Hugs to you all.
