I wrote this about 2 months ago but did not have the heart to come back to it as it means that I have lost my Dear Jet to bone cancer. It has been a few rough months but the remaining crew and I are doing much better now.
I am sitting here today struggling with the planning of the death of a good friend.
We have been great friends for 7 years now. We have celebrated birthdays, holidays and every day in between. He has stood by me in the good and bad of life. He's been very good and on occasion very bad. I love him just the same everyday.
He has protected me and been my guardian.
He's met a few cats he likes and more that he does not like.
He has been a great friend and playmate to Little Ellie and Grover but will they miss him? Will they understand that once I do this that he will be no more?
I can't count the hours I have spent cleaning up his drool; wall, door jams, carpet, off of him, off Ellie and Grover and off of me...
He will leave a big hole in my life, no pun intended.
I sat with him for hours last night on his giagantic dog bed. His feet smelled of Doritos... Such a funny thing - all doggy feet smell like this. With the exception that his smell like a huge bag of them!
I am going to miss him dearly, my big o'l slug of a dog, Jetter's.
Here are photos of our last few days...
Silly Boy would not stand up for anything and made me get down on his level!
Feet, one of my favorite things about him next to his big old mug
Steve bought them chew bones for Christmas and the aftermath was a large amount of it stuck to his nose... this was after 15 minutes of washing his face to get most of it off... He loved every minute of that last bone!
Jetter's Favorite spot, right smack dab int he middle of everything; sleeping peacefully!
Ok there is one place he liked better - sleeping on his own giant dog bed next to my bed... I surre do miss his snoring
So there it is, a simple farewell to a great dog
