What happened to our dog?
Discussion
I'm so sorry to hear about your beautiful golden retriever, it really is heartbreaking 
Had to say my final goodbye to Dino last year, my first ever dog (also a golden retriever), I cried bucket loads.
I had 2 other retrievers at that time, which did make the loss a little easier, but Dino and I had a special bond that was hard for some to understand.
I've mentioned this on another thread before - his ashes are on the windowsill (in a container attached to a large photoframe and his name tag is in the corner of the glass). I do still miss him, he was such a character who has left his massive pawprints in my heart and a lot of great memories (I'm such a softie
).
I hope things get easier soon

Thank you for the kind words. The weekend hasn't been very good as I keep having to drive past the vets where I am sure he is still held. I just want to run in there & take him home.Had to say my final goodbye to Dino last year, my first ever dog (also a golden retriever), I cried bucket loads.

It will get easier that I am sure but for now, this is extremely hard for me to get over the fact that I will never see him again.

His ashes were returned to us yesterday so atleast the little man is home again.....
Still got the urn my old dog Lydia's ashes came home in. Took me 3 years to get another dog, but got Bodie now a 9 month old Sprocker to fill the void. 
. So chin up time is a great healer as they say.boobles said:

I felt better when i got Ozzie back....still haven't scattered them...7 weeks after getting them back...can't bring myself too. I get upset just thinking about it.Jebbus I sound like a wee lassie saying that !
Glad that having them home has brought some measure of comfort.

Having a read brought a tear to my eye, it is never good to lose your 4 legged companion and friend 
1 year seems like no time at all, for me its 1 month tomorrow, still find it difficult to look at my pups pics, brings sad feelings at her loss and I still have her collar in my coat pocket from taking it off before she was buried
Just try to remember the great times you had together as those are the memories you want to keep

I still have his collar hung of a picture in my bedroom. My tears have been replaced with happy memories although I would give absolutely everything I own to have him back.... I miss him more than anything. 1 year seems like no time at all, for me its 1 month tomorrow, still find it difficult to look at my pups pics, brings sad feelings at her loss and I still have her collar in my coat pocket from taking it off before she was buried Just try to remember the great times you had together as those are the memories you want to keep
I came face to face with a whippet that was the spitting image of Jimmy (when he was older and had a white face) It was such a shock, my heart lurched and I gave a gasp. Had to explain why I was in such a state to a colleague!! Once he stood up he looked different body wise, which really helped but I couldn't look him straight on easily (lovely boy he was aswell)
I can honestly say it is rare that Jimmy doesn't cross my mind at least once a day,2,5yrs on :/

Wish I could unsee that post.
We have a terrier who suffers terribly from fits. Up until yesterday, he'd gone nearly 2 months without a major episode. It's been pretty bad since last December.
Didn't quite reach cluster level but trashed any thoughts we had about progress.
