Farewell to Jack

We lost a great friend last week when Jack Dog, Katelyn's Pug, passed away.
~
The problem with having pets is that their lifespan is so much shorter than ours.   And when they go downhill, it's usually very rapidly.  It's so heartbreaking to see them deteriorate and suffer.
~
During their short life you love and care for them so completely.  When they leave, they leave you with a huge hole of grief to fill.
~
So it is with Jack.  It seems like just a day ago when he would sit on one knee with Ronick the cat on the other, and both would be resting perfectly content.  Now they are memories.
~
In a little while, the grief that Katelyn and we have about Jack will be replaced with happy thoughts of the joy that he gave us.
~
We'll miss you Jack Dog.
