7 years old... he's only 7, but life goes on.

Thanks again
Very sorry to hear that's the result.

It's just a basic truism that the day you get them as a puppy, you know they will pre-decease you and that there is an inevitable sad day in the future.

The only thing you can do is be pragmatic about that and give them a great life and take what they offer in return . . . . and then make the right decision at the right time to ease their pain.

Best wishes to you and your family.

Our two Golden's turned eight last year . . . . hard to believe time is flying.
