| Tulle
and Tiffany were aunt and niece. They were our
very first Golden Retrievers and they taught us so
much about the breed They were the reason we got
involved with The Golden Retriever Club of America,
The Golden Retriever Club of Greater Los Angeles, The
Evergreen Golden Retriever Club and they were the
reason we have so many friends all over the world.
Tulle was 17 1/2 year old when we finally had to make
the hard decision to say good bye.
Tiffany was almost 16 years old when her kidneys
stopped functioning and it was time to let her go.
They had a very long life, which is unusual for
Goldens and I wish all of them would live that long.
Unfortunately we see quite a lot of Goldens dying from
cancer at young ages, as with people, I believe we are
causing these things by the way we treat the
environment and the food we eat and the food we serve
to our dogs. |
