Jack.
 

On wed morning I took our lovely rescue YORKIE X JACK for his morning walk,all seemed normal he had woken us up at 7am jumping to go out in garden followed by getting his dental chew,this was part of his daily ritual one that he had done every day of the 10yrs he had been on our baby,at 9.30 I put his lead on and he was jumping at door as his usual excitd self ready to explore his fav park,we went off as usual bouncing along when suddenly he slowed down,i asked him if he had seen something but no response,he walked slowly for a few yds then laid on the grass,i knew something was wrong but just thought he may haveneeded to be sick or something,i picked him up and holding his head I hurried back home,at no time did he make any noises as if he was in pain just staring in front as if transfixed,i opened the door and shouted my wife,there is somethingwrong with JACK I think he might be dying,dont know why I said that as apart from ear infection yrs ago he was fit as a fiddle,we rang vets but before we could get in the car he was gone,5 mins that's changed our lives forever,im 72 my wife 66,JACK was our life,where we went he went,well almost we are totally devastated trying to hold it in but everywhere we look ,every room we enter we can see him there in his fav spot,the worst thing is not knowing why or if we missed anything,you keep beating yourself up thinking if I had not gone out would it not have happened,but JACK left the house excited as usual and doing what he loved best.We buried him in amongst our flower garden,the same place he was sitting with us the day before,we will love him and think of him everyday till we meet again,JACK was a rescue dog and had been in 3 diff centres till we took him into our lives at 1yr old.RIP JACKY BOY all our love goes with you forever.MAM and DAD.

All my prayers to u.We both lost this week so believe me when I say I know how u r feeling.I will pray for you both and send the warmest heartfelt hugs your way.Your Jack was in his glory when he was called and try to remember there was no sufferring.May peace come to your hearts..Kathy

I am so sorry you lost your little love Jack. What a terrible shock. You gave him a wonderful life and he was a very lucky boy. Dont blame yourself, you did nothing wrong. Hugs...

Your story brought tears to my eyes. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Our babies steal our hearts almost instantaneously, and when they physically leave us, they take a piece with them. Please trust me when I tell you that the love you feel will remain in your heart forever. It is still very painful being without our loved ones, but in time, the more powerful emotion will always be the everlasting, beautiful love you feel for your baby. We talk about our babies at the Rainbow Bridge a lot, and that brings us joy, since we are left with such beautiful memories. I believe the far greater loss would have not to have loved our babies. They changed our lives and made life so much better, and nothing can take our memories away. Please accept our deepest condolences.

I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your sweet Jack. You and your wife have brought him so much love and happiness and he enjoyed his adventures with you. Hugs to you both.

So very sorry you lost your friend Jack, but knowing you brought him into your home and loved him till the end is very comforting.

I lost my 5 year old baby girl 3 weeks ago and I am also learning to live with the emptiness.

In time I know I will get another one, and I consider it a way to honor her. I'm sure in time you should do the same. Maybe there is another rescue out there who needs you!!!

They definitely leave their paw prints on our heart. In time we will find comfort from their memory.

Thank u so much,JACK was our 2nd rescue from 3 dogs in 40yrs,they all had there qualities but he was such a character,my daughter in law just brought me framed memories photo,he was sitting on kitchen table with his head laid on wifes ironing ,magic.x

I am so sorry for your loss.....(((Hugs)))......:(
