Jack & Jayne

You were only here for little more then 4 years... You taught me what real love is... You were my friend no matter what. You were the one who picked me up when i was down. Took away my tears when i was sad, always made me smile again. We had a lot of fun together. And we had our own language together that no one else understood. We were a team that no one could brake up....

So i thought........
It began with your eyes... Red irritated... We got trough that.
Then your earinfections started.... we made it trough that to....

Then you got a tumor on your ear... Operation and stitches and medicines... we made it trough that to...

Then you got more and more depressed.... It broke my heart to see you so down.... But still you were the strong one... Your eyes told me "come on!!! We can do this to!!!".
We went to a dogpsychologist and to the veterinarian.
They thought it would be best for you if you got neutered. So you went in for operation again. We made it trough that.... But your depressions didn´t stop... They got a bit milder thou....

Then you started to limp on your left front leg....
We went to the veterinarian for a x-ray. we got the result. You got osteochondrosis on your left elbow.
You got painkillers and had to rest your leg.... It took a while, but you got used to take it easy.  And not be able to run and play as much as you used to.....

Then one day when we played with the ball on the field your legs failed you to the ground.....
You couldn´t walk on your right front leg.....
We went to the veterinarian the morning after. Another x-ray was done..... We got the result... You got osteochondrosis on both your legs.... Everywhere.....
They said it was a miracle that you even could stand up and walk.....
Then they said that you should only go for short walks for the rest of your life..... But thats not you!!!!

You got a new medicine.... It didn't work.... You got another one.... It didn't work....
We tried to reduce your daily activity even more.....
But you got stressed and anxious most of the time....

Your legs got worse.... The fire in your eyes were fading more every day.... You fought everyday with your pain... You wanted to please me so bad that you even limped with your ball in your mouth, just to show me that you could!!
You were a real fighter!!! But your eyes told me an another thing....

So i made "that" call.... we set a date....
The veterinarian came to our home.... You laid down on my lap.... Kissed me on the nose for the last time....
I told you that i will always love you.... And thanked you for everything you've ever done for me and all the love you gave me....

I miss you more than words can say.... Your "littlebrother" Jack misses you allot.... He sleeps on your favorite place.... The first morning he was looking for you all over the place.... At breakfast he just sat and looked over at where you used to eat.... But you have learned us to fight and never give up!!!!

I think about you every day.... Miss you at bedtime, miss your kisses and your smell. Miss your bark and all other noises you made.....
Miss your beautiful eyes that followed me everywhere.... Your body and tail that wiggled with happiness ever time you got a attention....

But... Now when your at rainbowbridge, you don't feel any pain and can be yourself just the way you were... And i know we will meet again and that you are looking out for us......

You have a special place in my heart that no one can take!!!!

You were to beautiful for this world.....

Love you forever!!!!
