Lost an old friend today

Last Labor Day weekend, I had to put our 14 yr old Golden Rtvr down. She had always been right at 79 lbs. The previous 3 months she started having a hard time going down the stairs, but going up was ok. Stopped jumping in the truck another 3 months earlier... Ironically, her hips were fine. It was her front half that was eaten up.... She weighed in at only 48 lbs the day I took her.... It was time. She never complained, but we could tell.

Wet eyes still, while typing this... I feel for ya man.
