Goodbye, Ernie

[Beau]

I'm sorry, AI - I'm crying with you.

Same here. So sorry AI. I've had the pleasure of meeting Ernie a few times and he really was a sweet little pooch. Golden retrievers are really special animals and Ernie was no exception. My condolences to you and your family. {{hugs}}

 

[Possibility of Being]

Oh, no... I'm so sorry, AI. Ernie was such a good, lovely boy.

I know you and your family loved him dearly, I'm very sorry for your loss.

 

[Mrs.Tigersoap]

Oh, AI, that's terrible!
He seemed to be a wonderful dog, very special!

Even though he could barely move, when he was on the table and the doctor was giving him the shot, my mom was rubbing his face and his lower paw. He lifted up his other paw and put it on her arm.

As if to say 'it's OK'. Until the end, he was there for others.

Really sorry to hear about this AI Losing pets is always a difficult thing to go through. I've lost two dogs in my lifetime and both times it was heart-breaking. It seems like Ernie was a really great dog. All the best.

I'm really sorry to hear this AI. My sincerest condolences.

He sounds like a great companion and friend, and I'm sure he will be dearly missed by you and your family.

Thanks everybody for your kind words. It means a lot to me. I can't resist posting one more picture of Ernie's favorite activity: sleeping in other dogs' beds that were way too small for him. I always marveled at how he made himself fit (although it didn't ALWAYS work):

Awwwwwww, that is so cute!!
As far as I'm concerned, you can't post too many pictures of Ernie. I'd love to see any you have?

So sorry to hear about the loss of a good friend. Golden Retrievers are among the friendliest of dogs, one of my favorites.
Thanks for sharing the pics. May the DCM be with you and guide Ernie to his next destination.

It's sad news, AI. My condolences to your and your family. He's a beauty and sounds like a real sweetheart! He's perhaps now ready to come back in 3D? :)

My condolences as well. I enjoyed Ernie’s company, and the pictures are wonderful reminders of what a great companion he was. Let your mom know she’s in my thoughts.
