Heaven has a new golden angel today..

My beloved Golden Retriever, Finley, passed away peacefully this morning. There is no more pain, no more cancer, just running through the forests of heaven, chasing butterflies and chipmunks.
RIP my boy, momma loved you so much...

So sorry to hear of Finley's passing. Our sweet Furballs add so much to our lives and when they cross that bridge, they leave a void in our life.

I am so sorry for your loss Sharon. It is so hard to loose a furry memeber of the family. You will always have all of the wonderful memories with Finley and although it is not the same as having him physically there with you he will always be in your heart.

Sharon and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. A hole in your heart has been created that cannot be filled. I hope Finley is playing with my Black Lab Walter - I'm sure they will be fast friends.

Sharon I am so sorry for your loss. I know what you are going through. My bunny of 9 years died in my arms in April... I miss him every day. Diane from LHN helped me create a sampler in memory of him using one of her charts and I cried the whole time I stitched it... He was a beautiful dog. Pat

Sharon, so sorry to read of Finley's trip over the Rainbow Bridge. But he is now free from the cancer and running through the forests as you say, you will always have a place in your hear for your dear Finley.

Hugs Sharon. I'm so sorry you've lost your family member.

Katy said...

So sorry to hear about Finley. He looks like he was a sweet, wonderful boy from his photo. Hope the dog print made it into your hands last December and that you might have warm and happy memories of your beloved boy every time you glance at it.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss hun; I don't know how I missed this post. He's in heaven now and without pain.

Sharon,

Just found your blog and discovered you'd lost a beautiful friend. He looks exactly like our 18 month old golden retriever puppy and I am crying a little just imagining my life without him. I'm sure it's still a very hard time for you. Our animals are more like our children than our children are because they give such unconditional love their whole lives.

My sympathy and I hope the pet loss support group helped. I think that's an awesome idea, as people who do not own animals cannot understand why it is so difficult when we lose them.

A fellow golden lover,
Chelle
