My 12 year old Golden Retriever had a grand mal seizure today. . Hes lost a bunch of weight in the last couple months too. I fear hard days await. Hes easily the best dog ive ever had. Im gonna need a couple buckets of buckskins sometime down the road.

Really sorry to hear that.
We thought we were going to have to put ours down a couple months ago; first time I have cried since, I don't know, don't remember. Prednisone turned out to be a life saver. Hopefully you guys can figure out what's wrong and have a similar result.

That’s the worst. Keep the great memories at the top of your mind.

Sorry to hear.
Loosing a pet is a gut punch to the soul.

TDub - Sorry to hear/read this! Hopefully he gets better!
I agree dogs > humans.
I’ve never had a dog, so I can’t fully empathize, but I can at least sympathize.

Brutal.
The worst part about (good) relationships is that they all end.
I'm sorry TDub!

Sorry to hear that TDub, it gets easier over time, but it sucks. You're right, dogs are the best. When I had to put my first boxer down, Bandit, due to lymphoma, I cried buckets. I spent an hour with him at the vet laying next to him and sang and hummed Amazing Grace to him and told him how much I loved him....man, now I'm starting to tear up.
Hang in there. My boxer, Magnum, just turned 8 and he still acts like a pup, but I know I probably only have 4-6 years left with him.
