Documenting Moments With My Golden Retriever

I realize my doggy video snippets are redundant, but I wanted to try to document moments with my Golden Retriever who was dying of malignant melanoma of the upper hard palate. I tried very hard to engage him even more. This was taken on Thanksgiving Day. The Vets said, he is liked food and treats to bring it on...and so I did! He was pretty mobile at this point in time. Later, he still had good quality of life, and really rallied during walks, but I usually fed him when he was lying down. I wish I could freeze moments in time and capture and keep him with me forever. I'm glad he enjoyed life fairly well considering he was ill. I wanted at least the 8 month prognosis, but I only got 2 months after his diagnosis. Theses videos are my 'memory scrapbook' of Bello. What a friend he was - my confidante and made me smile even though he was ill. I hope I gave him the best care and vet care possible, with special food, comfort medication and lots of attention (he always received a lot of attention, but I tried to be by his side as much as possible). Why is it that the things we love aren't with us long enough? God only knows. I suppose God needed him up there in Heaven to play with the other animals. I love you and miss you, my sweet Golden bundle of love and mischief!
