    So long old friend

    Today is a sad day for us as our 15 year old Jack Russel took his final breath. Rocky was one heck of a friend as well. We will miss you but you have given us tons of memories.

    Sorry to hear of Rocky's passing. He will be with you in your memories though. May the shamrocks fall softly. Jim.

    A dog can be such a close friend -- they never care if you've had a bad day, or if you look tired and cranky, or if they've been waiting for what seems like forever. When they see you, they are HAPPY, and do their absolute best to make you that way too.


    My condolences to you for your loss.

    Thanks gentlemen for the kind words of supports. This is a lot harder than I expected. You probably know what I mean Robert.

    I cried like a baby when I had my dog put to sleep. I kept the tip hairs from his tail.

    Tony,

    I am sorry, and yes - it is so very hard to loose a pet. I had to put down my 14 year old border collie at this time last year. Time, and new dogs, help immensely.

    -Jerry

    You have our sympathy. The loss of a good dog is emotional.

    February is the cruelest month...

    We put Finbar down the day after Valentine's Day...



    He was 16. Believe me when I say I feel your loss. Sorry seems so trite...

    Sorry for your loss Tony. There are no words to ease your pain, but know that you do not suffer alone.
    Measure twice, cut three times, start over. Repeat as necessary.
