R I P Jack dog.... 19 Jan 2013

Www. The adventures of Gryff.  Once upon a time, many years ago, our friend Lawrence went down south to go to a party...and when he came back he brought back our mate Jack Jack.  Of indeterminate age, and bearing the odd scar of life, he moved in with Lawrence and Val and settled as though he had always been there. The three things in his life that became all important to him were Lawrence, food and his teddy bear, in that order I might add. Any of us could walk into his home unannounced , and he would always be the perfect host. Biscuits treats company, nothing was too much bother, but time marches on, and Jack began to struggle. On Saturday evening Jack suffered four fits while in Vals care, but managed to hang on till Lawrence got to be with him. As with a lot of animals, they wait for the people they  love to be there to pass over the rainbow bridge with their touch on their fur..... But this is not the kindest way to go, and the anguish it causes the two legs is severe. All they can do is talk to you and touch you and pray that there is no pain.  It seems fitting that Jack will remain at his home, together with his rug, and teddy bear, forever playing in the snow.

Our friends have never done FB,  Val especially being allergic to computers, so I thought if you would be kind enough to show them that they are not alone with their loss, I could show them on my computer that people do care , that they have been in that hard place, and that given time, they will remember the good times. To friends Lawrence and Val, we offer our thoughts and love.
