Puppy Girl Jess: 2002 - 16th February 2012

My first sight of Jess in 2002 through her backyard fence. Indy and I soon became lifelong pals with her and have been ever since. Unfortunately Jess passed away suddenly due to an infection in her pancreas on Thursday evening the 16th of February. I adored her. I was lucky enough to have Jess as my house guest on a couple of occasions last year when her owners Dave and Beryl went on holiday. I loved having her and she got on well with Indy even though she bossed him [and me] terribly. She would literally thump me if she wanted my attention and when I called her a pretty girl her tail would start wagging furiously. I’m going to miss her terribly but Indy has another friend to play with at Rainbow Bridge along with Scamp, Rob, Ellie, Dan, Holly, Megan and too many others, She was part of a golden generation of dogs in Llanfairfechan who all grew up together and are now sadly leaving us. Dave and Beryl are terribly sad and shocked as are all who loved her

    I am so sorry, Mike. That's really cool that all of those dogs grew up together though. Not every dog is able to have that (my dog -- she's the family dog -- doesn't), and I think it's really something that a dog SHOULD have. I'm sure they're all playing together now in a beautiful place, reunited.

    damn. Sorry to hear of your loss.

    HEAVEN'S DOGGY-DOOR

    My best friend closed his eyes last
    night, As his head was in my hand.
    The Doctors said he was in pain,
    And it was hard for him to stand.

    The thoughts that scurried through
    my head, As I cradled him in my arms.
    Were of his younger, puppy years,
    And OH...his many charms.

    Today, there was no gentle nudge
    With an intense "I love you gaze",
    Only a heart thats filled with tears
    Remembering our joy filled days.

    But an Angel just appeared to me,
    And he said, "You should cry no more,
    GOD also loves our canine friends,
    HE's installed a 'doggy-door"!

    I am so sorry you have lost yet another friend Mike... but knowing that the "gang" will all be re-united at Rainbow Bridge brings some relief... and perhaps in time there will be a new generation of pups that can all grow up together.... (((BIG HUGS)))

    Awwww, such a sweet baby. Very sorry for her family... I'm afraid I will be facing that this year, probably sooner than I would like. My oldest cocker is 13 1/2 and he is not doing so good. He has good days and bad days....

    Very sad news, Mike. I'm sorry. Again, celebrate the fact that these beautiful dogs all had such excellent lives and the stomach-wrenching pain of loss is a price worth paying for the love they gave us and we gave them.
