Cajun was a 11 year old dog before he past away on September the 6th.He loved people and I'm sure he would love you too! Cajun always had to be the center of attention.
I'm sorry your companion died. Golden Retrievers are very loving animals, your dog looks like one - I had one for 3 years. Yours was a beauty! I know what it's like to lose a dog, the same thing happened in our home this year as well. The only thing I can say is, although I will never forget her, my two newest companions are just as full of love and loyalty as she was - it wasn't a mistake to go out and get another one. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
