Meet Honey. A happy-go-lucky Golden, she was the perfect dog from start to finish. Sure she shedded too much, carried a few extra pounds, and had a need for attention that got on your nerves once in awhile. But she was perfect. As you can see, the kids could climb all over her and she didnt bat an eye. She loved it.

I can't believe she's gone. I miss her already. For 8 years she was my dog and slept with me at night and let me cuddle with her. We used to set up jumping courses in my grandparent's yard and I would train her to jump over them. She was everything I wanted in a dog.

She passed the other night, unexpectedly. My grandmother said she was cooking dinner when she noticed Honey acting funny. She sat down and petted her for a few minutes, heard Honey gasp, then realized she was gone. I will be up at their house in a few weeks for vacation. It will seem so empty and alone.
