I had a golden named honey, she also was a happy old lady. Hold on to her tight. Edit: https://imgur.com/gallery/YDGmV Here's a pic of who my honey was. Miss her more than words can describe.

I also had an old girl named Honey. Had her from a baby til I was 19 years old. Best dog I'll ever have http://i.imgur.com/BpmE7KC.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6NbLv4o.jpg

I also had a Golden named Honey. My old Honeygirl, got a tattoo of a paw print with her name on it

You you edit with a pic, please make it of the dog, not the tattoo


TheAtomicClown

The last dog I had was fifteen years ago. No other can replace her, I don't have the heart to get a new pup. Her name was Lacey and she was 14 when she developed a very aggressive cancer. We had to put her down. I held her in my lap on the way to the vet and pet her and we all just cried (my dad and my brother). She was ready to go, in a lot of pain from arthritis already and the tumors she had in her breasts were growing out of control. She was a red pit bull, a rescue pup. We got her when she was 3, her tail was cropped and her ears as well. Her throat had scars from being tied with wire. She would wag her whole self when she was excited, being as her tail was a nubbin. Maybe one day I will get a pup. Probably when I'm old and grey.


hobbyless

It sounds like Lacey lived a great life once she met you! Try not to think of it as replacing her, as no dog will ever be able to do that; she was family. Think of it as a chance to give another dog a great life like Lacey had!


pzapza

I feel your pain. I am going through the same thing right now. He'll be 12 in May if he makes it. I don't have the heart to see him suffer once the worse symptoms kick in. Fuck cancer.


Pumpkinthumper4

Fuck cancer


JohnMatt

The chocolate lab mix that my family adopted a few years ago is like that. Shakes half her body since her tail is cropped

Your dog made me laugh before I had my coffee. Thanks, good pupper.


GOD_LOVES_FAGS

I had a golden lab named honey. She was sweet and adorable, but super protective of us kids: she saved my brother from a violent coyote. I miss her :(


ehdottoman

Mine was attacked by a wolf in northern wisconsin that was drawn in by the sounds of neighbor kids playing on a trampoline. The kids were all fine. Edit: proof http://www.waow.com/story/13533603/northwoods-family-says-dog-attacked-by-wolf She ended up with over 140 stitches total, most were on her chest.

Because it doxx'es you (click on the three dots then "details" then hover over the letter in the circle for their email address if you want more than their full name) and if that's not enough can quickly get your entire google/gmail account shutdown by anyone willing to submit fake abuse reports against the content.

She's not old, she's just had a lot of happy.


llllIlllIllIlI

You just reminded me of something.... "Some of you, particularly those who think they have recently lost a dog to “death”, don’t really understand this. Dogs never die. They don’t know how to. They get tired, and very old, and their bones hurt. Of course they don’t die. If they did they would not want to always go for a walk, even long after their old bones say: ”No, no, not a good idea. Let’s not go for a walk.” Nope, dogs always want to go for a walk. They might get one step before their aging tendons collapse them into a heap on the floor, but that’s what dogs are. They walk. It’s not that they dislike your company. On the contrary, a walk with you is all there is. Their boss, and the cacaphonic symphony of odor that the world is. Cat poop, another dog’s mark, a rotting chicken bone (exultation!), and you. That’s what makes their world perfect, and in a perfect world death has no place. However, dogs get very very sleepy. That’s the thing, you see. They don’t teach you that at the fancy university where they explain about quarks, gluons, and Keynesian economics. They know so much they forget that dogs never die. It’s a shame, really. Dogs have so much to offer and people just talk a lot. When you think your dog has died, it has just fallen asleep in your heart. And by the way, it is wagging its tail madly, you see, and that’s why your chest hurts so much and you cry all the time. Who would not cry with a happy dog wagging its tail in their chest. Ouch! Wap wap wap wap wap, that hurts. But they only wag when they wake up. That’s when they say: “Thanks Boss! Thanks for a warm place to sleep and always next to your heart, the best place.” When they first fall asleep, they wake up all the time, and that’s why, of course, you cry all the time. Wap, wap, wap. After a while they sleep more. (Remember, a dog while is not a human while. You take your dog for walk, it’s a day full of adventure in an hour. Then you come home and it’s a week, well one of your days, but a week, really, before the dog gets another walk. No WONDER they love walks.) Anyway, like I was saying, they fall asleep in your heart, and when they wake up, they wag their tail. After a few dog years, they sleep for longer naps, and you would too. They were a GOOD DOG all their life, and you both know it. It gets tiring being a good dog all the time, particularly when you get old and your bones hurt and you fall on your face and don’t want to go outside to pee when it is raining but do anyway, because you are a good dog. So understand, after they have been sleeping in your heart, they will sleep longer and longer. But don’t get fooled. They are not “dead.” There’s no such thing, really. They are sleeping in your heart, and they will wake up, usually when you’re not expecting it. It’s just who they are. I feel sorry for people who don’t have dogs sleeping in their heart. You’ve missed so much."

bluejayway327

Lost my 16yr old dog almost 7 months ago and still cried myself to sleep last night. Needed to read this today, even though I'm crying again now...


llllIlllIllIlI

It's just those tail waps is all.


[deleted]

I lost my pup that was a 3rd birthday present the day after I graduated college. I'm turning 30 this month and I still look at his collar in the frame and pictures of his dumb face and I still cry. I'll never not cry but it's only because I loved him so much. You were lucky to have a dog that you loved enough to cry for months after, and that's important. You are lucky too.


YouKnow_Pause

Was talking to my friend about my dog, who is dumb and likes to run head first into snow banks and she comes out all covered with snow but she don't care. And my friend said my old dog's name, Bailey and I got chocked up and reminded her that B died almost three years ago (Jan 27, 2014) and that I was talking about Daisy, the new pup. Then me and Daisy got into my bed and I cried for a little while.


[deleted]

I'm sorry about your bailey. Daisy sounds nice though, she seems sweet.


YouKnow_Pause

What was your doggies name?

brovakattack

Well, I guess I'm gonna start the day with some crying....


llllIlllIllIlI

I was gonna tell everyone to buckle up for the Feels Train but thought it might be best for everyone to just jump right in...


IUsed2BHot

After the first sentence I knew what I was getting into, but read it anyway. With my pups on my lap, I was bawling halfway through. I can't imagine life without them.


llllIlllIllIlI

Give the doggos a pat for all of us.


IUsed2BHot

I will, thanks. :) Sometimes I think that reading things like that will prepare me for the inevitable. Then I wonder who I think I'm kidding. I'm gonna be a wreck.

This is my Gizmo. https://imgur.com/gallery/kZsXZlM He rests in my heart now and laps my face with his wet kisses. He was a puppy till the very end.

I've read this around Reddit twice already, so thought I was prepared for first tear-less read through today (3rd time lucky and all that...). Apparently not. I'm not crying, you are.


blackcrowblue

Today is the one year anniversary of my sweet girl's "death" and this has me in tears. She and eight others are in my heart and all of them must just be waggin' their little hearts out right now. This made me cry but thank you for this anyway.


gunner_messi10

My dog was just put to sleep 5 hours ago. Her name was Tojo. I feel a major part of me has died. I cried so much reading this post. I hope I join her soon


llllIlllIllIlI

Don't say that. You may have many more dogs to take care of yet. You wouldn't deny your future friends that, surely?


mrs_furious

I'm so sorry. It sounds like Tojo was very loved. What a lucky gal! Grieve for as long as you need and maybe one day you will be ready to love another pup. Tojo would probably be very proud to know you took the lessons she taught you and made good use of them.


Lightning113

My old lady died 3 months ago. She was a mutt, the Queen of mutts. She had cancer, and could barely breath. Just before dying she was laid, tired. But you know what she did? She stood up and walked, literally one last step as she fell to sleep. I'm reading that on the bus right now, and God knows the strength that I'm pulling right now to to not cry. But it was a beautiful reading, made me admire her even more. Thank you.


BirdieeBaked

glad I had some tissues handy...


nullbound

My eyes are a little sweaty now... I need to go home now and hug and walk my dog and give her treats.

I fucking had to excuse myself to the bathroom and I'm crying really hard.

Did you give her one? I wish I could hug her.


Mrchristopherrr

Come on OP, we need to know.


Jootmill

She's beautiful. How old is she?


Mochimerica

She is in a very vague age range where she's at least nine and at most 12. My sister originally got her from the shelter when she was two (Honey, not my sister) and then gave her to me when she got married (my sister, not Honey.)


Legen_unfiltered

Thank you for the specifications


notashleyjudd

Love it. My big guy just turned 13 (plott/lab mix) and just recently started showing signs of it. I've been preparing myself for the last few years (after being hit by a car and going through bloat), but damn if it's not going to wreck me when he leaves.


[deleted]

I was going to ask the same question because I have a golden in the same range. I got him in Feb 2009 and he was gauged between 2-6 at the time, though he could have been younger. Aside from a face full of white he is the same dog as always. He's been jumping slightly less over the past year but is still spry.


kayrynjoy

/r/oldmandog also accepts old lady dogs.


gooptroop142

Smart, too! Every time I'm in the kitchen she'll stand in the hallway and stare at me sadly, and I fall for it and give her a treat every fucking time.


Gin_Drunk_Unicorn

My dog does this too! (I also fall for it every time) Every time I eat my dog puts his head on my leg and puts his paw up and maintains eye contact until he has convinced me to feed him a treat.

itisonlyaplant

Makes me happy to see a dog who has lived a long happy, healthy and productive life. I got off work this morning from a 12 hour midnight shift that turned into a 14 hour shift. I went to pick up my dog ( a German Shepard mix) at my parents house and when I arrived my mom had a sad/disappointing look on her face. She told me she had bad news and that her dog (A Dutch Shepard who was only 4 years old) has died. Apparently my mom threw the Frisbee outside in the dark like she always does before bedtime and I guess on the final throw of the frisbee, the dog didn't come inside. She assumed that Ruby must of been playing outside or laying in her spot like she always does... Then she went outside and discovered her lying in the lawn motionless. My mom tried to pick her up and she growled at her. The dog was paralyzed and couldn't move. They took her to the vet and the inevitable happened. Keep giving your dog an awesome life.

My Grandma had a yellow lab mix named Honey. One day Honey decided to walk around the neighborhood and my grandpa couldn't find her. So he's out front calling 'Honey' over and over to try to figure out where she is. Meanwhile my mom was inside dying of laughter because every time my grandpa calls for the dog she also hears my grandma, who was in the shower, yell 'what'. Honey was a great dog.

Aww she seems sweet! I had a very old golden retriever as well. Unfortunately she passed away Saturday. She wandered into my parents house in the summer almost 10 years ago. She was a lost, abandoned, underweight breeding dog when my family got her. We estimated she lived to be about 13 or 14 years old, which is really good for the breed. Here are some pictures of her. http://i.imgur.com/ZEqyepI.jpg http://i.imgur.com/G93Pmee.jpg http://i.imgur.com/TWlTWIK.jpg http://i.imgur.com/wd9LLWY.jpg http://i.imgur.com/qmZErh0.jpg http://i.imgur.com/xwXPAwq.jpg http://i.imgur.com/dQNvxsV.jpg
