By beloved Austin was diagnosed with baseball size tumor in speen, liver, and kidney involvement. He had shown no signs of illness until yesterday morning, and he could not even stand up. Took him to the vet, and I helped him to cross over...one of the most difficult moments of my life.
Austin was 10 and a half years old. I know that he is playing in the fields with all his new friends. He was a wonderful dog. I will miss him, he will always be in my heart.
Thank you for this forum, and thank you for all the love and prayers for Austin.

Larry, I'm so very sorry. You'll find lots of support and friendship here, and many who have suddenly lost their pals too. I hope, when you feel up to it, that you'll tell us more about Austin and share pictures too. Godspeed to your sweet Austin, and hugs to you.

I am so VERY SORRY to hear about your Austin. I know he is at peace now and that my Snobear and Smooch have greeted him at the Rainbow Bridge.
Sounds like Austin went as suddenly as our Snobear. Snobear was 10 years, 3 mos. old.

I am so sorry about the loss of your Austin. It is such hard thing and even more so when it is so sudden. Many people here understand your loss and share their prayers and comfort with you. My angel girl Magic will share her tennis balls with Austin at the Bridge.

So sorry for your loss of Austin. It always hurts us so much to have to let them go even though we know we are doing the right thing

I'm sure there are lots of tennis balls at the bridge for Austin to play with as he makes new friends there.

Run free Austin

Thank you for sharing about your loss of beautiful golden-boy Austin. I saw the photo you posted of him too --kind, sweet face. Such a sudden loss -- I am so sorry! There are lots of beautiful, sweet, loving goldens who once belonged to the earthly forum members you meet here -- and know that your boy is in very good company with them!

Your New Texas Friend.....

Larry, I'm sorry for the loss of your precious boy Austin. His photo is just so precious. I've lost two to the same type of cancer and it's so hard to understand how they can be fine one moment, and not the next. HUGS to you as you grieve your loss of your precious one and I hope you will be able to share more memories of him with us when you feel up to it.

Larry, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Austin. What a sweet face. Thank you for sharing a picture. Having suffered the loss of my Sammy last September, I understand your pain. I still cry sometimes when something reminds me of my sweet boy. You did the right thing for your guy and I am sure he knew how much you loved him. I look forward to hearing more about your Austin. Sharing here on the forum helps. You will find an amazing group of people who understand because we all love of Golden babies. RIP sweet Austin, say hi to Sammy at the Bridge.

Ohhhh, what a handsome boy! He has a very, very sweet face. I'm so very sorry for your loss. It is such a difficult time and decision. I have no doubt that he took so much of your love with him - enough to last until you see him again. I hope he and my Sophie have become friends already. We lost her in May, and I still cry every single day. It hurts like nothing else. Take care.

Larry,
Austin has such a sweet and kindly face. Sending hugs to you at this sad time.
I am sure my boy, Beau, who I lost in January, is showing him all the best places to explore across the bridge.
Thanks for sharing Austin with us.
