    Had to say goodbye to my buddy of 12-1/2 years today due to a rupture tumor on his spleen. I wish this year would hurry up and end.

    Sorry about your loss, the first pic just about made me cry. Here's a pic I took a few years ago.

    Sure is a tough one. I think we've all been through this at least a few times. 99lbs never really go over the last time-seven years ago. Hate being dogless.

    Sorry to hear this, it's tough to lose a family member. And Goldens are a special type of "almost human".
