Missing My fur Baby

I want to start by saying I am new to this site, and stumbled across it while looking at golden retriever sites......

My nightmare all started the second weekend in January my beloved Blaze just wasn't himself. Blaze started vomitting that just wouldn't stop. Not to be too graphic but in the vomit I found 2 silly bands......
I took Blaze to the vet and they suggested doing x-rays where they found a mass blockage. Blaze underwent surgery where they had to remove 18 inches of his lower intestine.
Blaze came home a couple days later. He wouldn't eat or drink by himself so for the next 5 days I siringe fed and watered him. With this issue and still having a reflux issue, back to the vet we went. I made the decission to leave Blaze with them for a couple of days to see if they could re-hydrate him and get the reflux under control.
On January 26th, Blaze's 6th birthday, the vet called to say she couldn't understand why the reflux was still happening. We decided to give him Berium to see if there was more blockage. Unfortunitely it turned out to be more blockage that since the first surgery took so much of the lower intestine that there was nothing that they could do.
I made the decision to bring blaze home for the night to celebrate his birthday and let myself and children say good bye.
Losing my furbaby was like losing one of my children. I'm hoping this site will help ease the pain of losing him.

I am so sorry about your loss of Blaze. 6 years is just too young. Unfortunately I know all too well how you are feeling right now. My girl has cancer and we are going to let her go soon.

My mother in law had a Golden named Blaze. He was such a beautiful sweet boy. I hope you find some comfort here and know that many people understand what you are going through. Please share some pictures of him when you are ready.

I am so very sorry for your loss of Blaze-6 years old is way too young.
I'm sure that my Smooch and Snobear greeted Blaze at the Rainbow Bridge.
I hope you will continue to come back and use us for support.

When you are able we would love for you to share pictures of your special boy.

RIP Blaze

What a heartrbreaking story.:(
I am so sorry for your loss. Many of us know how you feel right now and share your tears. I hope the pain begins to ease and you can remember Blaze with smiles instead of tears. I'm glad you got to say good-bye, but so sad you had to make the last, hardest and most loving decision for your boy.

It's been over 4 months for me and I still miss Copper and cry at times too.

I'd love to see pictures of you boy and hear his story if you'd like to share. I found this site over 4 years ago when I lost my last golden and couldn't handle it. I joined 2 years ago to get advice about a splenectomy. This forum has been a source of great advice, support and comfort.

Im so sorry for your loss =(
You will find a lot of support on this forum, as I have when I lost my boy.
6 years is just too short, but some times it's the best thing for them, we don't want them to suffer. Remember all the good times and how much love you two shared.
Sending you many hugs!!!

I'm so sorry you lost Blaze, he was much to young. You will find a lot of support here, too many of our members know exactly the pain you are feeling right now. These dogs wrap themselves tight around our hearts and when they go they take a big piece of it with them.

I hope you will share stories about Blaze with the board, it does help to remember him with people who understand how much he meant to you.

I am so sorry for your loss of Blaze-I too compare it to losing a child. The love and special bond you have with your dog is like none other. I hope with time the emptiness and pain you're feeling will pass quickly and you will be able to look back on the wonderful times and memories you shared with Blaze.

Godspeed sweet Blaze.
