I am feeling so devastated at this point in my life that I do not know if I can find words. I always like to do painful things quickly but at this point I can barely breath so bare with me. My Anthony has had a tumor on his leg for the past three years. It was one that contained cancer but not something that was suppose to spread. It had gotten bigger in the recent months to the point where I felt I needed to do something about it. I had been doing holistic treatment and decided to have it debulked to give him a more comfortable life and hopefully keep him around a lot longer. I took him this morning and he went into respitory arrest and we lost him. I could not believe the words when the vet called. I still dont believe them. I thought Anthony would be with me until he was an old man. It was not to be. I could tell you that Anthony was born last in a litter of 11 puppies and had to be pulled out because by that time his mom was too tired to push one more puppy out. He was the silver sparkle puppy because Jennifer had run out of colors of paint. I could tell you that he was beautiful and finished his Championship with a specialty major breeder/owner/handled and also had a breeder/owner/handled Group One. He was 4 singles away from his Grand Champion when the tumor started to effect the way he gaited and so we stopped as that was not as important as his comfort. I could tell you that he was a great friend and Juniors dog for Jennifer. They went to Eukanuba and he loved her so dearly. I could tell you all this but what I could tell you that is more important is that he was the sweetest, most kind Golden. He loved babies and he was tolerant of all dogs. He loved being outside and eating grass and watching the birds and the bunnies. He was the most huggable and really was a home body, he loved it here. Those would be the best things - his name told it all as there was just nothing about him we did not love and treasure. I would have never guessed when I left the vet this morning that I would be writing this now and I do it through deep sorrow and unstoppable tears. He was simply the best dog ever and I owed him everything. He made me smile and he made me laugh and he ate up life with great joy in his heart. This hurt will never go away. I feel like my heart is broken. I will miss you and loved him so much Anthony. Ch. Jetocas Dont Change A Thing Run, play, breath in the air of heaven - only happiness for you. Our loss is immeasurable. We loved you more!
