Kaye9 Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) Hi all, I'm afraid that I am posting,for the first time in ages,with very sad news. Gentle Jack,the Labrador X Husky I fostered and my sister adopted went to the Bridge this afternoon. He would have been 15 in the New Year so he did well for a dog of his size really but my sister,Lynn,and her family are devastated and I am also very upset.He will leave a huge gap and be missed so much. His legs have been giving way alot the last few months and the vets had tried everything to help,the last being steroid injections,but he kept collapsing and this last week looked thoroughly miserable.His quality of life had deteriorated and my sister knew it was time. Her and her Fiance held him while he slipped away and he is now at peace. My sister,Lynn,will be mailing the Oldies Club with a fitting tribute to him to put on the Oldies site but she doesnt post on here and quite a few of you knew him or of him so I wanted to update you. RIP handsome boy.Huge hugs and love. Edited July 13, 2007 by Kaye9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it's going to happen,try and prepare yourself for when it does but it still hits hard. Lynn was just so pleased that she got to spend over a year and a half with him but wished she could have had him longer. He had a fantastic home with her and in the last 6 months Jack had a companion,Ruby,a young Boxer X who Lynn adopted from Many Tears which is a good thing in hindsight.They got on well together despite her being a bouncy fruitcake. Hope you are well. Thank you Clint. Edited July 13, 2007 by Kaye9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
