Sadly, I have to tell you, that my lovely Jack lost his battle against his illness on Thursday. As was expected, his health deteriorated quickly and the end was swift. I could perhaps, have delayed the decision for another week or so, but I would have done it for me and not him.
I've always owned a dog, but none can match the sheer courage and love for life that Jack possessed. He was truly an exceptional boy. You can imagine, that after dedicating so much of my time to cater for his needs, over many years, I'm feeling very sad and empty. But that's not what it's all been about. I would do exactly the same again and there will always be a special place in my heart for my Mr Waggy Tail. I had a marvellous final year with him and he enjoyed his life to the max. My many happy memories of good times shared will sustain me when the shock and grief slowly subside.
So, many, many thanks to all of you from a grateful Jack and I for your caring support. It helped so much. His life had value and he counted. xxx
