Our first child was a back yard breeder Golden. He was the best. He lived to 15. He got cancer. Dec 27, 2002 - he could not get up. I took him to the vet and she said it was time. She, me, the tech were all bawling. In fact I am tearing up so bad now....I have had to stop typing 3 times......Yep, Dog Lovers get it....
