Goldie became a member of our family when she was 3 months old. She was a very beautiful intelligent, loving, caring dog. A real lady. She was always there for us when we needed comforting. She would never bite anyone. She would more likely lick you to death than bite you. I remember when my son Nicholas was born. We lived in Sweden then, during my pregnancy, Goldie would follow me everywhere, I couldn't even go to the bathroom without her. She would plonk herself down outside the door and wait. After our son was born, she never left his side. If I was in another room and the baby would grizzle, she would come to me to let me know that he needed something. Then as my children grew, she would play with them and a few times I had to replace the odd nappy that she had playfully tugged off them after playing chase in the back yard. She never had puppies of her own, not for want of trying, and if she did, she would have made the perfect mamma. When we adopted our cat Patch, Goldie took on the motherly role. Taking on Patch as if he were her own little puppy. They would sleep together, eat together, play together. He knows something has happened, as he has not been the same since you left. He is missing you too. She loved to eat raw potatoes but absolutely loved raw Carrots (Although they had to be peeled!!)It has been 2 days since you went to heaven. I know my mother has welcomed you with open arms and will take care of you until we meet again. I miss you so much my heart aches. I am just thankful that you were not in any pain. Knowing that you were in no pain, I would have done anything to save you my sweet. No matter what the cost. I feel that you let go simply to spare me the decision that every pet owner dreads making.I have had to make that decision before and have never gotten over it. I feel that you are with me and I know that we will meet again one day. I love you my baby. My beautiful girl. Mamma älskar dig jätte mycket!! Puss o kram
Send me the strength to smile again.
Kisses for you from your family who love and miss you always
I am glad to have found this site so that I could share my loving memories of you with others. It has helped with the grieving. Im sure that you have met the other adorable pets that have passed over the rainbow bridge and are playing together with them (cats as well!!!) Until we meet again.
(9 Sept 05) It has only been a couple of weeks since we lost you. I came home the other day and was totally grief stricken when I pulled into the driveway. I was expecting to see you there at the gate as you always were, waiting to greet me. I was so upset, it was if I lost you all over again. When I knock at the door when I have left my keys, I expect you to come running and barking but nothing. I miss you so much.
