Hello All,

We lost our golded retriever Petey on October 2nd. He was 14yrs old and the rock in our family. It has been hard without him. I found this sight a couple of days ago and have begun the process of researching a new puppy. I look forward to learning from the wealth of knowledge shared on this forum.

Welcome to GRF and so very sorry for your loss. Getting golden puppy when I lost my Arby did wonders with my grieving process. I wish you all the best in your puppy search.

Sorry to hear of your loss. We lost both of our goldens within 6 months of each other several years ago. We adopted an 11 month old GR a little over a year ago while living in Jackson Hole, WY. Now we're in the Alexandria, LA area...practically neighbors!

Welcome from Lake Charles! I have three goldens, and we compete in obedience trials (well, my five month old puppy won't be competing for awhile, I'll give him a couple of years to grow up).

Welcome to the forum,
I am so sorry about the loss of Petey. It is good that you are bringing in another puppy to help with the pain. It doesnt take all the pain away but it does help. Good luck with your puppy search.
I would get reading in the puppy section because after not having a puppy for 14 years you forget everything. At least I know I did. My Beau was 11 when I got another puppy. Forgot how much work puppies were. But it was worth it for my Bama bear.
