Ya'll know Hooch. My wife loves him over on the Golden Retriever site. I know he's really sick with heart problems, and we've been praying a lot. God can't take him yet. We need him. :'( :'(

I love my pets too, and I do not mean to sound insensitive, or minimize your pain.......................

but a prayer vigil for a dog?

Very sorry to hear. I had a golden retriever growing up. He would be the reason I grew up loving dogs. They become family members. They keep you company, and listen to your every word without judgement. Truely a best friend.

Sometimes they rebound and do a complete 180. But sometimes when they get older or ill, the pain is too much for too long, and its better to let them go. Just remeber the good times and he will always be with you.

I must be mistaken. I saw Hooch, who is a member of a Golden Retriever site who is really into Bass fishing. I thought that this was about Hooch, the man with heart attacks , who still is very ill. I thought maybe he belonged here also.

I'm sorry for any misunderstanding. :

Hooch is a very common screen name throughout the internet.
