Sorry to hear of this, for you and your family. Goldens sure do become part of the family. We have a Daisy too (Catahoula). Sincere condolences on your loss.

Our Golden lived to be 14 and it wasn't any easier when he went. At least he got to go to Alaska with us before he passed. Condolences.

Lost my GWP smooth coat (look like a GSP) at age eight in 2013. Started limping that spring. Spent $1k on him that summer including an exploratory shoulder surgery which found nothing. Twice that fall I had to carry him out of the field. He continued failing and finally seemed to beg for reprieve with those big dark eyes. Put him down in December. One of the hardest things I’ve had to do. He was a great dog.
My default guess is he had some cancer.
I know how you feel. God made dogs very special. My opinion for you and your girls, is get another, enjoy that one, and give it a good life.
Edit: between my wife’s, kids’ house dogs and my hunters, we now have five buried in the back yard.

So sorry Champ. Knowing what brought this on helps little. 8 Years old is not uncommon, but surely not enough. They are family. I hope your girls remember her as the good friend that I am sure she was.
One of our Goldens has her head on my lap while I type this. They are great dogs.
I feel your loss as we have suffered the void too many times.

Woke up this morning and our golden of 8 years had passed away in her sleep. She was not sick and had no issues last night. Makes no sense. The girls and i are heartbroken. Been a memeber here long enough to lose 2 goldens. Doesnt get easier. She was the sweetest dog. Only wanted to make everyone happy. RIP Daisy Sorry to hear this. Poison, perhaps?

Sincere condolences to your family.
Dogs are truly a best friend, it's just so difficult to deal with their relatively short lifespan.

Sorry to hear that, gunchamp, it's really tough. We also lost a Golden when she was about 8 yrs. old from an enlarged heart.

Lost my Chessie recently, very similar. He had been living at my son's since we moved down here, well taken care of (son is a former military working dog handler), grandson was working him regularly (and getting to be a pretty good handler). Son came home from work one day and dog was dead in his kennel. Just 9 years old. Good, solid working dog, never any problems.
Currently, one of our little housedogs (papillions) is on his last legs....congestive heart problems. Good days and bad days. Never wanted to get sentimental about a dog, but this guy...

When I lost my Joe, a friend told me that the reason it hurt so bad is because dogs love so much. They are truly special creatures who integrate with the best in us.
I'm sorry for your loss.
RIP Daisy.
