This is such a depressing, sad thought.
I'm 20 years old and I can hope and pray that I have a lot more life to live, but nobody ever knows of course. I lost my 5yr old brother in 2006 so I know all to well that lives can be lost too soon. I don't really want to think about it - I honestly Jackson would be really depressed for a while. We have such a tight bond and whenever I leave him for a few days, he typically WILL have fun, but at the end of the day... he's sitting in the window again waiting for me.
I know for a fact my dad would take him. He is married, has my little brother, and two little dogs of their own. They bring their dogs with them on the RV camping, etc. He is the one who takes Jackson for me when I go away, etc, and we visit once or twice a week and sleep there. Jackson is 100 percent family over there. My dad loves him to pieces and spoils him, and my step-mom is the one who enjoys doing the training (like me) and taking them for walks, sufficient exercise, and gives them plenty of attention. I've never official discussed it with my dad, as I don't want to bring up death to him... I think it would scare him, me talking like that.
If for some odd reason, my dad didn't work out.... I'm pretty positive my friend Lauren, here from YT but in real-life, would take him. He adores her and her dogs Bandit and Nala and I'm sure if I discussed that with her, it would be something she would say definitely too. I would do the same for her dogs. If these two didn't work out, I have a TON of family members who I know would step up to the plate. My aunt is a huge dog lover and loves Jackson to death. My grandma is the same. And though these people wouldn't be my first choice, simply because they wouldn't give him ALL I do, I know he would be happy and safe.
But to be honest, I just don't really like thinking about it. Both me losing him and him losing me. Gosh Darlene, ya had to get all depressing!!!
