  1. Jess Has Gone To The Bridge

    in General Chat

    Posted

    so 7months later. New home. I know Jess would have loved it here. My back opens up to above a river with ducks and a field opposite with rabbits hopping freely.

     

    Is it wrong that i still mourn her? I miss her still. Ok, im not crying while writing this, but if i see pictures of her or little videos taken on the phone...i still fill up.

    I dont know if i should still be feeling like this...does that make sense?

    I always knew she was special, but i dont go a day without stopping at her little box filled with her ashes....

     

    Every dog is special in someway, but Jess seemed to have it all, and i just miss her still, just her prescence -lay on the sofa with a soft toy to suckle. :wub_anim:

     

    This old lady left a deep hole in the home when she went...

    i hope shes happy....i hope shes waiting for me when my day comes. And until then, i hope she found my nan. She would look after her with joy. :lily:

     

    sorry...not sure why i felt the need to write this, but i realised i hadnt thanked you all for your words.....so thank you :GroupHug: :GroupHug: I live in Ballymena in Northern Ireland now, but i still look at the Oldies Club page and wish i could help. If you do decide to help the oldies over here, be sure to contact me as i would be glad to help in any way i can.

     

    Thanks again.....and i know youll probably lean down and give the nearest dog to you a big hug, as im doing to Penny right now,

    Warm wishes to you and yours from me and mine, here or at the bridge

  4. Jess Has Gone To The Bridge

    Hi all,

     

    i thought i should tell the Oldies Group of Jess's run to the Bridge.

    I adopted her from a lovely fosterer called Rose (who ive lost the email of) on the 6th August 2005 when Jess was 10yrs old.

     

    I didnt think id have long with her, but she proved everyone wrong.

     

    It was with a very heavy heart, and alot of tears, i had to make the decision to let her go. To be free. To be young. To be free from pain.

     

    She had suffered from arthritis for a couple of years and although getting a good vets check up in July, she deteriorated so rapidly it broke my heart.

     

    We went to the vet, we struggled as it was just me and Jess on 12th October 2011 10.30am

     

    The vet had to carry her into the room. I looked at her and i knew. I wasnt going home with her. This was it.

    my vet gave Jess a sedative and turned the light off in the room, leaving me wrapped around my beautiful girl who i had loved from the day i saw her picture. I told her i loved her. I told her it was ok. I told her she would be free now. No more pain. My girl grew sleepy in my arms, until she fell asleep, knowing, hearing, feeling and seeing me talking, stroking, kissing and cuddling her -that was what she took with her to the bridge.

     

    Im still in pieces. She was so so special, and i cant believe shes gone. Of course, im sat here in tears writing this, and its going to be a long time until i can think of Jess without wanting her back here, lying with me on the bed, grumbling, snuffling my hand to stroke her.....

     

    Everywhere is so different. No where is the same, shes left a big hole in my house and home. Penny (18mnth black lab) and Max (8yr old Collie) have only just started to seem to come to terms -if that makes sense. Jess was a mother figure to Penny and a friend and older sister to Max.

     

    I wish the pain in my heart would stop. I know i made the right decision, but i didnt want to make it. I didnt want to let her go. But i had to. she was starting to be in pain, and i always said when that day came.....ive been expecting it...but nothing prepares you quite like you think until you have to do it.

     

    Run free my baby girl, i love you so so much, and i hope i did the right thing and made the right choice,

    love you always

    Mummy, Max and Penny

    Hi guys,

     

    Would love to be able to help if i could. We adopted Jess (a yellow lab) from you in 2005 when we lived in Lancashire, shes still with us and very much the matriarch of the house!!

     

    Anyway, we moved to Northern Ireland, there is nothing like the Oldies Club over here and it would be great if you could reach us over here? If you need any help let me know, would be thrilled to help out, with anything, transporting, fostering, home checks etc..

     

    Love Oldies so much since we got Jess so would love to help anyway i can.:D

    Hey all, thought id put this one in here! :wink:

     

    I just wondered if anyone had tried the capsules "Aktivate"?

     

    Aktivait

     

    Since Jess had a mini stroke a few months ago, its a worry in case she has another and i thought these look quite good and wanted some more opinions on it before i buy it!!

     

    Thanks guys :) :GroupHug:
