Suzanne, who owns the barn where Dax is, lost her best friend, her Golden Lexus. He's been sick for a while, and Laura diagnosed pancreatic cancer last week. But the speed with which he went down hill was distressing. Laura came out early this morning and helped him to the bridge.
Lex and Dax were NOT friendsbecause he kept trying to steal Dax's feed while he was eating. But he and Jimmie were buddies, and he tolerated Jules' non-stop barking at him. And he was one of the few dogs (and a Golden, no less) that Alex tolerated at the end of her life. It seems fitting that he died today, because it's Alex's birthday. She, and his best horse buddy Zak, will be waiting for him at the bridge. We'll sure miss his smiling face around there, but I know he's still smiling at us, just from a bit of a distance. Suzanne is really grieving, as are we all. Godspeed, sweet boy

:imsorry: RIP Lexus.
A is lit for his journey to the bridge. 
They may be small, but you should see their hearts. Shelter/Rescue dogs aren't broken. They've simply experienced more life than other dogs. If they were human we would call them wise. They would be the ones with tales to tell and stories to write. The ones dealt a bad hand who responded with courage. Do not pity a shelter/rescue dog. Adopt one. And be proud to have their greatness on your side. Anon

Goldens are such beautiful dogs, and that's probably the half of my Very. Good. Dog. (R) Buddy.
While her heart will grieve for the loss of such a wonderful dog, the bridge will welcome another well loved dog into the fold. Remember him with love, and fill your heart with the joy and enthusiasim that he lived each day with. It's all they really ask of us after they go.Last edited by Otto'sMom; 03-11-2009 at 04:08 PM.
