As you all know I lost my best friend on October 4th he was my buddy and companion . Each day I wake up and remember him as a happy dog that was just plain spoiled rotten we treated him as our child and when he passed I thought I would never be able to get past the grief but , with the help of all the fantastic GR members I have finally began to breathe again and to remember Chance as he should be remembered as a loyal boy who wanted nothing more than to be with us he was his happiest just lying next to us with his paw resting on ours . I would like to thank everyone for their heartfelt words that only one golden lover to another could understand Bless all of you from the bottom of our hearts . I know Chance is at the bridge teaching other Golden the art of making snow angels .
