My beloved family dog has passed over the rainbow bridge...

I have sad news to report.

My beloved family dog Holly has passed over the rainbow bridge, just two months before her 13th birthday after a heroic battle with doggie lymphoma.

She was surrounded by her loving family in her final moments, after being blessed with Holy Water and enjoying a McDonald’s cheeseburger (no onions, mustard or pickles) as her final meal with vanilla ice cream for dessert.

She was wagging her tail until the end!

She was a true angel.

Everywhere she went, people complimented her. I take comfort in knowing she had an amazing life with near daily runs and endless attention and affection.

Rest in peace, Holly Tender.

You will always be loved and missed until we meet again.

Holly as a puppy.

Her paws were huge!

BrianNole777 · 2026-07-10T13:09:27-0500

Holly Claus!

Thanks, brah.

I hope your dog had an amazing life.

I didn't cry until we carried Holly on a stretcher to the veterinarian's car after he put her to sleep.

She was put to sleep very, very peacefully for $950.

So sad to hear that. Been there twice, it's tough. Just remember you had 12+ good years and 1 bad day.

Sorry to hear that, Brian. They are members of the family and deserve more years.

McLovin32 · 2026-07-10T13:24:14-0500

Sorry for your loss, OP. Losing a pet is brutal. She looks like she was an awesome dog.

Thanks, brah...she was incredible; totally chill personality unless she saw a squirrel or rabbit in the yard.

Sorry to hear that Brian.

Dogs are better than people and should be mourned as such.

Same here...I had a 12 year old lassie named Kodie we put down about 25 years ago.

True that...the only problem with dogs is they don't live forever.

Dang! Sorry to see this, Brian.

Holly at her 12th birthday party.

So sorry for you. I've had to do this twice and it ripped my heart out both times.

Thanks...it's tough but I couldn't expect more from a 12 year old Goldendoodle.

She passed very, very peacefully.

A dog's last day is really the only bad day they ever give you.

This is one area where the Catholic Church totally has it wrong.

Condolences OP. Dogs are such a gift to have in our lives. It’s hard to say good bye until we meet again

That was also a big relief to us. It was definitely a peaceful way to go and while it was miserable to be there, I was so glad I was able to share those last moments with them.

Pets are so tough to lose because they give you so much joy and don't ask for much in return. It's such a pure relationship.

Yeah.

Holly had low grade lymphoma for about 18 months which was controlled by meds.

She went downhill fast about 10 days ago and had trouble walking.

So sorry to hear Brian

Sad indeed. It’s always rough when our beloved pets cross the rainbow bridge.

Wobmam Rulez! · 2026-07-10T15:53:19-0500

My sincere condolences.

OnlyTheObscure · 2026-07-10T15:56:27-0500

Got a 10 year old labmix rescue.

I dread that day.

I would be embarrassed to admit how much I love that dog.

HoggI74 · 2026-07-10T16:06:14-0500

Sorry, Brianole...

I'm sorry my friend. It's been a year since I lost my two dogs in one week. I too am not ashamed to admit that I cried like a baby.

She loved to smile!
