what beautiful boy! Looks like he had plenty of spunk, too. I've got a ten year old golden boy named Pepe. He's a real treasure. I was supprised to see another Golden as red as our boy. he's still going strong but I know our time is counting down. Thank you for sharing your precious videos and photos.
The doggy love of my life, a Golden of course was also named "Bud." Much like your Bud, he was a total character and I was blessed by his presence in my life for 15 wonderful years. I just hope there really is Rainbow Bridge and he's there waiting for me...
I just lost my golden boy Jan 4 (2012). I have made 2 tributes to him and started watching others' tributes. My boy was a big beautiful goofy red one like Bud. It touched my heart to see your tribute. I miss my Tommy so terribly.
I don't know if you are still on here, Bigjohn88tn, but if so, I wanted to thank you for the video. I, too, had a Golden (Beau) and I lost him on 8/11/07. I still miss him as much today as the day he went to the Rainbow Bridge. Sad. I love that dog more than some folks I know. I am sure that Beau and Bud are buddies... Thanks again.
ive had two golden retrevers in the past twenty six years miss them both lost my last one last year to cancer just like loosing a kid they are so amazing nice dogs good video
I've always had two goldens. Everytime I lose one I swear never again. The grief is just too brutal. I don't believe a more exquiste pain exists. And yet, I never learn. Right now I have one on either side of me as I type this. The grief will never outweight what they give to me. And I remember each and everyone of them.
You loved that dog so much, it came thru in the video. What a good boy he was. I'm so sorry you lost him. He was far too young to die. You were lucky to have him, and he was lucky to have you. Having a dog is wonderful, but so heartbreaking when we have to say goodbye to them. I dread the day when I have to say goodbye to our Freddie (he's a GSD/golden mix).
I have not been a subscriber of Hickok45 for very long, I have seen bud in several of your videos, I am sorry for your loss, thanks for posting this heartwarming video. I just suscribed to your channel.
wow, I had exactly the same igloo for my dogs. I use to live in tenesse too, but in the last year sprite(the mother) died. I feel sad for your lost, that was one cute dog
I know how ya feel. My first dog, Gracie, died one Sunday on the way to the vet. I'll never forget her last whimper. I'd better stop before I break down.
Hey bigjohn, I know what its like to grow up with a dog like that. I had a yellow lab from when I was 13 till when I was 26, she was extremely hard to lose. I had her thru some tough teenage years. No matter how bad of day you're having at school or work you can always come home to a wagging tail and lots of love, they'll never let you down.
Really enjoyed the video, one of those that you keep checking the progress as you watch it hoping that there's still a lot more to see. Hate that the video had to end but even more so I hate that you lost such a good friend.
Hi BigJohn, Hi Hickok, I am very sorry for your loss. I know how you feel, I have lost 2 of mine which was with me for 18 years and 16 years. I pray your road to healing is blessed by Jesus Christ:) Take Care.
it almost makes me feel like he was my dog, thats how loveable he is, dude im so sorry, but just to let u know, if u get another golden, dont get one called an english creme, they are white goldens and they suck, i got one and shes not the same dog as a golden, just saying but i still love my dog
he died? aww hes so cute that would suck, i know what its like, i had a golden and she was my best friend, and she died while i was at my cabin, and i felt so bad, im only 13 so im not a man or anything but i cried more when she died than when my grandma died, actually i didnt cry when she died but yeah, it sucks, i wish dogs lived as long as humans
AWESOME video. He looked to be a great companion and friend. Really liked this video. Probably the best one I have seen yet on Youtube. I love dogs. I lost my Chocolate Lab this past Jan. She is sorely missed. Thanks
@bigjohn88TN i miss my cat....i should have played with her more, and i should have made videos of her for keep sake, my dog and i miss her soooo much. im going to make videos and take pics and play with my dog more, and i know that he will not be here forever, screw video games, im chilling with my dog.
@danielhinton13579 I'm sorry you lost your kitty cat. :-( No matter how much you played with her, she loved you no matter what. (sorry for the late post, I just came upon this video) I think it's a good idea to chill with your dog more though! :-)
@bigjohn88TN hey but at least you have his pups! what ill do before my dog dies is imma name one of her pups the exact same name so she kinda doesnt die..
I'm glad you put this up. You had/have a great dog(s). 6:01, 6:47, 2:37, 3:21, 4:50, 6:03, 8:26, those looked like some great times. He was a goofy one but he sure looked like a heck of a dog. Was that last photo taken on the day he died? Thanks for putting this up.
