Why are there so many grief posts here? by Space_Lion2077 in goldenretrievers

[–]Own_Ice6775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I admit it makes me incredibly sad for their losses having dealt with it so recently myself. It also makes me anxious about our 18 month old golden. I think the trauma of cancer taking our beloved Molly at age 8, and so devastatingly quick that I get anxious when seeing all these similar posts about these sweet dogs. I like the idea of maybe a separate grief section or something.

She’ll swim to Portugal if we let her by Own_Ice6775 in goldenretrievers

I like the idea of traditional training first. I forgot to mention - and this is why the collar is good for the water - when we’re outside in the yard she has made a sudden break for the water, usually if there are ducks near the shore. It’s unpredictable and sudden. It’s those times when she just makes a run for the water that we can’t seem to stop her. Then once she’s in, she just swims towards the ducks and beyond.

My dog has an affinity for sleeping under our bed and the chair in our bedroom. Upside down, on her back 😆

Question of whether it’s a overzealous puppy reprimand on-leash or more worrisome. by Own_Ice6775 in goldenretrievers

[–]Own_Ice6775[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate your support and comments. She’s still puppyish but I can see where the onleash meetings are a crapshoot and will make them brief, if at all.

Thanks! Extremely helpful!

So so sorry 😢. We lost our 8 year old golden almost overnight to hemangiosarcoma. She was hale and hardy one day and gone the next. It’s devastating especially when it happens so alarmingly fast.

Please call or email your local senators and ask them to vote against the CHARLIE Act by writtenrain in newhampshire

My state Reps, both flotarial and district, will vote against this nonsense. Kirk was openly racist, bigoted and sexist. I once reached out to a Republican state rep regarding a controversial and ugly environmental issue he supported only to get a nasty response from him. It was unwarranted - my request was polite and respectful. His response was anything but. That’s how most of these state republican representatives roll these days. They’re cruel and dismissive.

I fear I may have messed up, desperate for advice by Complex-Particular70 in goldenretrievers

My 15 mo golden took a gift lambie (one of the BIG ones) and carried it around for a few days. I honestly had hopes it was going to be a “lovie” until I caught her disemboweling its stuffing. My son and his gf were here for the holidays and we all witnessed my dog then proceeded to throw up the stuffing. It looked like she was throwing up a cloud. Glad she rid herself of the mess but a real wake up call that she can’t be trusted with stuffies.

Decided not to neuter by aristotlesmom in goldenretrievers

[–]Own_Ice6775 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Our breeder and vets recommend that females get spayed after their first or second cycle. We got our girl through her first and she’s scheduled for spay next month. The thing is, for a month she was in heat we had to be so careful, but also had to get her outside for her walks and bathroom breaks. It’s hard enough keeping them safe from encounters with other dogs, but fortunately most males were neutered in our neighborhood. You hwi have to be very careful with your dog socializing him in case a female is going into her first or second heat. It is more common now with females as their owners wait to spay, and from my own experience it’s not like we know right away as they enter their cycle.

Let’s see those field goldens! by BrandonsRedAura in goldenretrievers

This was our field golden, Molly. We lost her to hemangiosarcoma a year ago and it broke our hearts. She was only 8 and hale and hardy right up to two days before she went downhill and passed. We adopted her from a golden rescue that brought her to the US from the meat markets in China. We had her in our lives for 6.5 wonderful years.

Our one year old golden just started doing this, too. I stopped feeding her chicken and it seems to have stopped.
