Sad news

We are so sorry to share the news that our dear dog Lincoln died this morning. He was acting just fine, but yesterday, couldn't get up off his dog bed. This morning he again didn't move and so Duane and I carried him on his bed to the vet. They discovered liver/spleen cancer and bleeding in the abdomen. There was really no choice but to let him go with his dignity and without pain. Our entire family is very sad as he's been such a huge part off our lives.

    That's terribly sad & we feel for you all. It's nice you have that last picture of him in the snow! He looked like such a nice friend to have.

    I'm so sorry about your dog. I don't know you but have been "blog-dropping" for a couple of weeks. We have a beautiful golden, too, named Molly, so I know you and your children will sadly miss that presence in your home. How old was he?

    For Amy, Lincoln was 9 1/2 years. I guess it is very common in goldens to get this type of cancer. Doesn't make it easier though. He was the sweetest guy. You'd know as I've seen Molly on your posts!
