HopeForHounds Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) We came home to find that our "old Man" Jet had passed away. I've had a nagging feeling that something wasn't right the past few days. He wasn't at the door, and when I saw him he looked so peaceful. I knew. Jet, System CS Buddy was a spook. We worked hard to help him overcome his fear, but he would still bolt off the couch when you asked him to get down or if you reached for his collar from behind. He became a wonderful Meet and Greet dog, and loved kids. Doggy alzeimer's dulled the fear and he was the most relaxed and comfortable in his own skin that he'd ever been. He wasn't much of a racer, but he helped get a lot of dogs adopted. The last of my original brindle trio taken 11 years ago. I'll try to add more when I am not so stunned. Godspeed my sweet little fruit loop. You have nothing to fear. Taken a month ago. Taken last week during our nightly discussion. He used to hop on the couch ofter Daddy went to bed and look at me as if to say "what's happening Momma?"

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
