We had suddenly been put in the position that every pet owner dreads, that is the thought of having to put your beloved pet too sleep due to it not being well.
No more saying lets go outside no more calling dinner and her running to you with it's tail wagging so profusely you'd think it would fall off.
The happy bark as you walk in the front door when you have been out all day and it running in circles around your legs.
Those who have never owned a dog have never felt what it is like to be loved and loved every day of your life, they love you through good times and bad times, and always happy to come to you with a wagging tail.
Goldie so dearly loved it when my sisters dog Jag came to stay they were great mates, this was a first for her as she never liked any other dog that ever came for a visit.
I always try to keep this page for my photos so I will share with you some photos of our beloved furbaby who is now in heaven.
She was very sneaky one day the door bell rang and I went to open it, I left on the bench a hot dog in a roll, Goldie was sleeping on couch which I thought, When I returned 5 or so minute later the hot dog and roll were gone but Goldie was still sleeping on the couch. I look back on this and laugh.
I remember her getting out one day and the kids running backwards and forwards after her, running past our court about 20 times.
She loved to go out in the car and to sit on my knee with her nose out the window and her ears blowing in the breeze.
Over the last few weeks we could see her health declining, the pain in her back legs became too much for her to bear, she would cry trying to stand up and could no long climb the step to go outside and I couldn't pick her up as she cried in so much pain, she had lost her sight and her hearing was gone but she still showed us the same love she always did.
She was a very loyal dog and loved us all as we loved her.
Yesterday the 3 of April 2016 we saw the pain in her eyes as her eyes filled with tears we decided it was time to let her go, as I type this and my eyes swell with tears and my heart aches, we took her into the vets Lort Smith Animal Hospital here in Melbourne.
We couldn't get an appointment when I rang but told them the situation and they were happy to see her as an emergency case.
We talked with the vet as to our options but we knew to prolong this was very cruel, She left us with our dear sweet Goldie to discus what we wanted to do. We decided to say our last goodbyes and to give her a hug a kiss and say goodbye, the vet took her away and then brought her back with a drip in her front leg she stood there as we all patted her and cried. She gave us one last wag of her tail and she slowly lied down and was gone. we said our good byes as they took her away to be cremated. they handed me an envelope where they place an image of her paws print I took her lead an collar and we sat in the office till we were ready to go home.
Thank you Lort Smith Animal Hospital for all your care and compassion you gave us on this very sad and hard day. I await now for the arrival of her ashes where we will place somewhere special.
May you REST IN PEACE you beautiful girl you will always for ever be part of our family and we will see you again one day. Sit by my mum for she will give you all the pats you need..
We love and miss you girl, you lived a long and very happy 17 years and 15 years with us.
RIP
