greyhndz Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) Iggy Jared, who was my heart-iggy Lexi's litterbrother, went to the Bridge today. I know he was welcomed by his deeply adored mum, Penny. (Lexi wasn't crazy about Jared, so I wouldn't count on her being part of the welcoming committee. ) Jared came into this world with a lot of strikes against him, and a very difficult puppyhood. He and Penny were spoiled rotten at their home of 8 years in Kentucky. Sadly, illness forced his family to give up Jared and Penny, and they wound their way back to me. Penny died about 4 years ago, and Lexi died after a long illness 8/15/09. Jared was a tough little guy who was reknowned for his Donald Trump ear comb-over. He never met a morsel of food he didn't love -- and steal. He survived two critical illnesses when he was young: immune mediated thrombocytopaenia, and having been struck by a car after being missing for a week. Jared was definitely a survivor, but sadly was so fearful of people and of being touched, and that never really changed from age 1 to age 13. And Jared being Jared, after his spirit was set free, his earthly bladder let loose and I had urine dribbling down my leg. He always had to have the last word. Godspeed, little guy. You'll be missed.
