Run Free, Action Jackson, I'll miss you forever.

Jackson
A once in a lifetime friend

October 11th, 2008 - July 1, 2025

Nearly 17 years of my life with my best friend. My companion. My purpose for many years.

What a hell of a ride and a life he lived. I loved every adventure, every walk, every snack, every nap, every vacation, every obnoxious bark, and every bit of chaos.

Jackson’s presence was a big one and I am already severely missing it. You did so good buddy. A little food mongrel until the end. No better way to go out than eating chicken and hot dogs until you peacefully laid your head down to nap.
I love you Jackson with all my heart and will miss you forever my little dude. Thank you for being my best friend. Life will never be the same without you but you certainly shaped mine in the best way.

It felt weird to not make a post on YorkieTalk --- the very place I posted my announcement all those years ago about bringing home a little 9 week old bundle of energy. I was 18 years old and honestly had NO idea what I was doing, but I went full force into dog mom mode and embraced every second of it. I miss him so much, my heart is still so heavy, but I have made peace with the fact that he lived an AMAZINGLY full life. More than a lot of humans get to do. And I wouldn't have changed a thing.

I know a lot of us yorkietalkers communicate through facebook, but I'm glad you posted here. Although this forum is quiet, I'm sure a lot of our old friends read here.

Jackson lived the best life. The two of you were an amazing team, Brittany.

It's hard to believe that it was nearly 17 years ago that you and I each welcomed a yorkie into our lives -- and how they took over.

The one and only Jackson will always be remembered. <3

Hi Brit.

My heart breaks for you. I am so terribly sorry to hear about Jackson.

It was so many years ago that we met with Jackson & Remy at the Annapolis dog park. Sadly, I had to put Remy to rest September of 2024, a month past his 16th birthday. I completely understand how heart wrenching it is to lose a best friend. It has nearly been a year and it is still tough for me.

Hugs & hang in there!

Susanne, Remy and my Teddy were put to rest at close to the same time, both at age 16. :'(
I gave Teddy peace September 4 last year.
I will always remember Remy and our group of Yorkies. <3

I’m an old timer with Yorkie Talk and I do remember Jackson. I remember how he loved the water. He was such an active little guy. I’m sorry for your loss.
