Disclaimer: I initially joined when I lost my dog Sedona (Link here). Thank you again for everyone who helped me grieve, I got a new dog River and 18 months later Beau. They immediately bonded and life was great I knew I’d have bliss for the next 10-12 years... .....or so I thought. Poor Beau...

Hello everybody! Today's my first day on here, but definitely not the first time I've read threads from here. So finally I decided to join. I got my first Golden back in November, born on 10/10/11. He's the best thing that ever happened to me! He's AKC registered under the name Brave Lord...
