rascalsmom Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 It breaks my heart to write this, but my beloved Jack is gone. Jack was our fourth greyhound. He came to us in November, 2009, about 7 months after my daughter was suddenly killed after being hit by a truck while running. We had lost our male greyhound, Buddy, just six weeks before Elizabeth died, and while I could do nothing to remedy the loss of my daughter, I felt I could 'fix' my dog situation--I had had three dogs for such a long time, that two (Rascal and Ruby) just didn't seem right. Jack was a foster dog (yeah, right) who stayed. We adopted him right before the new year of 2010. Jack was my first bit of happiness after losing Elizabeth. He was very silly, and he brought laughter back into my life. Over the past 14 months, we have lost Ruby (8/11), Rascal (12/11) and our cat, Daisy (8/12). I never dreamed Jack would be going so soon, too. I am not going to rehash all the medical stuff here--it's all in the H&M thread--but Jack developed complications this week, due to his disease, and we knew we couldn't ask him to undergo yet more medical intervention. He was truly my buddy, and his loss brings us to a 'petless' state. I never dreamed it would be so hard, losing my last pet....the house is so empty, yet there are reminders of him everywhere. And this tribute seems so inadequate, for all the comfort Jack brought me. Godspeed, my best boy. I will miss you forever. Quote Phoebe (Belle's Sweetpea) adopted 9/2/13. Jack (BTR Captain Jack) 9/28/05--11/2/12Always missing Buddy, Ruby, and Rascal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PiagetsMom Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 And this tribute seems so inadequate, for all the comfort Jack brought me. Godspeed, my best boy. I will miss you forever. I don't know that a tribute can ever be adequate for all the love a pup brings you, but you gave him much love in return, and that's all that any pup could need. I'm so sorry that you had to say goodbye to your beautiful Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
