Im going to Rachels today to visit with Buck. Buck is a golden retriever. He's 15 years old and he is going to be put down next friday. Buck has been part of our family and Rachel's dog for 12 years. Buck is an amazing dog. Rachel got him from the breeder 12 years ago, I met Buck when i moved to Quebec in 2002. At that time i lived with Rachel for 2 years and helped with Buckleys. He is a very happy dog, he looks like he's smiling all the time. My parents had adopted bucks' sister Molly. When Rachel first moved here to Ontario in 2005 Buck stayed with my parents. when Rachel moved in with Sean and they started renting a house Buck was brought back here and was able to be with his mommy again. Buck has lived a great life, from the years at mom and papa's running and playing in the Lake, sunning in the sun, spending winter in a heated Garage and real bones not this rawhide crap, thanks to my dad. He never barked, in fact it was about 8 months of living with them before i heard Buck bark. I had forgotten him on the balcony and he wanted in lol.
I remember he was a poop machine, we'd let him out and he'd poop in about 5 different places before he was done. He was funny. We'd come home from work and be sitting on the couch and he'd jump up and sit beside us on the couch resting his head on our shoulder. Oh and did i mention he LOVED food? He was way too spoiled by us. We'd be eating and he'd come and sit beside you at the table then look away. He would not look at you , it was like he was pretending to be invisible or was gonna sit there and pretend to not care till you gave him food lol.
So today I will be visiting Buck, loving him and making memories with him. Buck today is suffering from Arthritis, he's almost blind and is almost deaf. He's lived a great life. He was loved.
