| Forrest (as in Gump) is gone I spoke with Jencar98 this morning. Her little foster boy, Forrest, passed away unexpectedly yesterday. Jen is heartbroken, but agrees with me that this special little man deserves to be remembered and mourned. She gave me permission to post this thread. Some of you may remember "meeting" Forrest in Jen's other threads about him. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...-yes-gump.html http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...est-louis.html Jen's husband carved a memorial and Jen said "This is a yorkie carving Dave is making out of a tree stump (tree was severely damaged after the ice storm a couple of years ago). When our old cattle dog died in 2008, we buried Patch there on the east side of the yorkie tree, Forrest is on the south side. I am making this my pet memorial garden area and if Dave is still here in this house after I'm gone, I want my ashes scattered there. If you would like you may share the *picture* with the YT family." Ruby Pics 3427.jpg Forrest captured many hearts during his short time with Jen. RIP sweet boy.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I'm so sorry for Jen, what an angel she is to take these little rescues in and give them a good home. I'm so glad Forest could enjoy his remaining time with a loving family. Jen's husband is seriously talented, what a wonderful creation, and I love the idea of having a pet memorial in your yard. Big hugs to you Jen.

| Jen I am so sorry. You were a wonderful foster momma to Forrest and gave him all of the love that he so deserved in his life. Thank you for being able to give your heart to this little lost soul and making his final days on this earth filled with love. After I lost Truman in December a very wise man shared this with me and now I would like to pass it on to you as well. It really helped my heart to heal and remember his love. I hope it will do the same for you.

| I am so sorry Jen, I know you took such great care of Forrest. I am glad he was able to live his last days knowing the love of a family who truly cared and pampered him. I think God has a special place in heaven for anyone who takes these abused or abandoned babies into their homes to rehabilitate and find loving homes for them. RIP Forrest "as in Gump"

YT Graphic Artist Donating Member | I am so sorry to hear this. The yorkie sculpture is very nice, and it sure looks like a beautiful memorial spot. May he rest in peace.

| oh Jen, I am so very sorry. I've been thinking about Forrest and you so much this past week. everytime I check the YHR site for updates on Roriee I take a peek and see if there's any good news about Forrest. you took such good care of this little man. he passed knowing he was loved and part of a family. the story of rainbow bridge says they'll be waiting there for us someday when it's our time.....you're going to see Forrest again.....you were the Mommy who loved him dearly. tell Dave his yorkie carving is just beautiful. brought tears to my eyes. huge hugs to you Jen. xo
