When I lost Murphy my first border collie when he was 11, I found all the good pics I had and scanned them and along with some short video made a Rememberence DVD that was set to music.


At the end, my wife and I both wrote how we felt about him and how much he would be missed. About once a year we will watch it and it brings his memory alive and it's truly a happy moment.

I got his ashes back today. Very bittersweet. I'm so happy to have him back, but it made me very sad.

I am deeply sorry for the loss of your dog, Goldenbadger. A very tough loss of a family member.

So sorry! Dogs are the best, it has to be so hard to have said goodbye for the last time. But Badger obviously had the very best life - and looks very distinguished in glasses, too! You will always have your memories of life with Badger, and know you gave him the best life possible.

It's going to take a long time to heal from this one. I went to work yesterday and whenever anyone would ask about him, I would burst into tears. I had to leave early. Some knew what had happened and were offering condolences. Others just knew he had been sick and were asking about him.
Now my other golden, Willow, is sick. She has bad diarrhea and an earache. The earache is from swimming in the river on Sunday. I'm not sure the cause of the diarrhea. That came on Sunday morning, before we went to the river. She really is not herself. She seems sad. I don't know if it's because of Badger, or if it's just because she doesn't feel good. She won't even play ball, which is not like her at all. She lives and breathes ball playing.

This is Willow and I on the Basswood River. Willow is Badger's daughter.

He hadn't had his second cup of coffee yet and was a little put off that I was disturbing him and his book by taking pictures of him...again.

Cancer sucks. I've lost two Goldens to cancer. Offering our deepest sympathy on your loss of Badger. In time you'll find comfort in your memories of the special times you shared. It's so difficult to lose our best friends. So sorry for your loss.

My older dog, Badger, has been very sick for about three weeks now. We have been going to the vet 2-3 times/week. The vet believes it is a flare-up of anaplasmosis (a tick disease like lymes). I am sick with worry about it. I hate seeing him so miserable. He is almost 11 and is in pretty rough shape. Anyway, I leave for the BW in about 3 weeks. I don't take him along (I always take our younger dog), but planned on taking him to the kennel. I won't do that if he's still not feeling well. I have a neighbor girl that sometimes watches my dogs and I'm hoping she will be able to do it. But I'm going to feel awful leaving no matter what. Anyway, I'm asking all of you to keep him in your thoughts and send him some good vibes.

I took Badger to Madison to the vet today. They found his lungs full of cancer. They said there was nothing more they could do for him. He was so miserable. I had to have him put to sleep. I am beyond sad tonight. He was my best friend and the best dog ever.

Thank you, everyone. I loved that dog fiercely, with all my heart. He was my rock. I tried so hard to help him these past few weeks. Yet there was nothing I could do. He had a good life and was loved dearly all of his days.
