Jessie left us at about 7:15 p.m. on Monday, June 9, 2008. The family felt it was time as Jessie was no longer enjoying life for she was in much pain. Jessie seemed to welcome the thought of a pain free afterlife (if there truly is one for animals), and walked up to the Vet’s Van on her own and asked to be helped up the stairs. She also ate a WHOLE bowl of dog food and drank TWO WHOLE bowls of water and didn’t upchuck any of it which was totally unusual. For the last several months she would upchuck even small amounts given to her. Something was not right on her insides. Anyway, our JessiePups is gone and we will think of her often and miss her.
BUT…….today, June 21, 2008 John RESCUED a twelve week old black lab mix named Sunday, (She was born on Easter Sunday), through Petfinder.com. He drove to Illinois to get her as she was to be shown at a Pet Smart store there. I don’t know if he rescued her or she rescued him! I think they’ll call her Sundae (like ice cream), or Sunny, or Sunnie (?) and already she has been to the Bead Store where her mom and Jackie work; and also to her “cousin” Charlie Girl’s house to meet that family. Apparently she gives lots of kisses and loves lovin’ or John most likely wouldn’t have brought her home. He says she is beautiful and a sweetheart; unfortunately, as I write this, “Grandma” is up North and won’t meet her for another week!
Do you think he loves her?
Farewell Jessie
