bye bye puppy dog
This is how I want to remember our puppy dog, Jack. Sturdy. Strong. Alert. In this picture, taken a couple of years ago, he was every bit the faithful jack russell, watching over little Hannah like a hawk.
Even as his hearing failed and his eyes dimmed and his little body wore out, he remained my "puppy dog." Right up to the end of his fifteen+ years.
The house seems empty without him. And my feet will be a bit colder tonight. Bye bye puppy dog. Good dog. Good dog.

Oh no Robin. I am very sorry for your loss. I understand that his health was failing, but it doesn't make us miss him any les does it?
I am glad that he got to travel so much in his lifetime.
So sorry Robin!
I'm so sorry for your loss! I will keep you in my prayers. It's so hard, I know.
So sorry. I know you'll miss him very much.
I am so sorry. These wonderful four-legged members of our families get to stay with us for such a short time. You are so right to remember him Strong, Alert, and don't forget Faithful.
So sorry to read this.
I am so sorry to hear this news, even though from a few of your posts in the past year or so, I knew that it would probably not be long. It is so hard to lose our beloved pets. He had a good life with you.
So sorry about your loss.
