A farewell to a faithful companion

Jack, our faithful companion and my ADC of sixteen years had to be put to sleep after a long illness. He fought bravely but in the end it was too much to bear and we had no choice but to end his suffering. He is now cured of all his ills on the other side of the rainbow bridge. 

Sad days ahead.

    1. Thanks Jonathan. Losing a pet after all that time is really like losing a family member. Too difficult to express.

  5. Mike, So sorry to hear about Jack. I think it's harder to lose a fur baby than actual Family... Hang in there, Jack will be waiting for you when it's your time. Healthy & ready to love on his Dad.
