Hi everyone. It’s been years since I’ve connected on this forum. In fact I recall years ago brushing off the “Rainbow Bridge” page. It seemed so far away. But this past Sunday we had to help our twelve year old across the bridge. I am still in agony. The house feels so much bigger, so empty. Tucker was a mix of everything. He was loveable, pushy, high energy, friendly, and so so good as my exercise partner, at least up until this past year when he really started slowing down. He was MY dog. Our three kitties tolerated him, my human kiddos were amused by him. My hubby had patience most of the time lol. But we all felt him as part of our family unit. The void is very real. I just wanted to put some thoughts down in hopes it would help. I‘ve lost other pets, but this is different. I feel it deep in my heart. Thanks for reading.

I am so sorry. It can feel like a part of your own body is missing. Most of us know that pain.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Would you like me to add Tucker to The Rainbow Bridge List?.

God Bless you and your family through this difficult time...

Ugh, agony is the most accurate word for it, and I'm so sorry you're going through it. He looks like a wonderful guy!

I'm sorry for your loss. When I lost Beau, I got the book, "I Will See You in Heaven" which brought me a lot of comfort.

It is a palpable void in our heart that never really heals. The worst part of loving a dog.

I'm very sorry for your loss. It's truly a pain like no other. 💔

I, too, remember you and Tucker. I'm glad he made it to 12 years old and filled your family with love.

Wishing you peace and comfort.

Godspeed handsome Tucker.

We lost our Ellie to cancer last year. Ellie was such a great companion and I can relate to your loss. In time you may consider another golden. There may not be another Tucker out there but I’m convinced another golden will provide another great companion. Coincidently, we just rescued a 3 month old male and his family named him Tucker. He is off to a good start.
These dogs are wonderful and I’m sure Tucker was a great one, so sorry for your loss. Let’s hope our Tucker turns out to be as good as yours.
