Tucker

I moved to Iowa almost 2 years ago after graduating from college. Moved here for a job. Today my parents called and told me our golden retriever had to be put to sleep. He loved the summer so much. I wish he could have swam one more time. I was back at home in Michigan 2 weeks ago...wish I would have known. I did get to take him for one last walk. It hurts to not be able to say goodbye...but I know it would have been worse if I were there. Hurts even more because he was a tie to my childhood. I grew up with that dog. Thanks for all the happy times and just loving us so much tucker. I'm really going to miss you a lot.

I know exactly how you feel Dan. I grew up with a cute little poodle named Oscar. He came into our lives when i was about 9. He wasn't always the nicest dog, in fact he bit me several times when i was a kid! But i still loved him, took him for walks, ran with him, groomed him, and took care of him my whole childhood. He lived until the age of 16, when my parents had to put him down, he was sick and not a happy boy anymore. I wasn't living at home at the time, in fact i was in another state, when i got a card in the mail, with a picture of Oscar. I didn't realize at first what had happened, i looked at the picture and thought it was cute, but then when i started reading the card, it was my mom telling me they had to put him down. I cried so hard, and for many days i was so sad and missed him so much. I knew him for so long, and had been through so much with him. Your dog is happy for everything you've ever done with him, and will love you forever.
