What a VERY SAD day!

Apr 04, 2009

On Monday, May 16th, my big baby Jack died.  He is our tri-color collie.  He always followed me around and was my buddy day in and day out!

I got up as usualy.  Took Cooper and Jack out for a walk in the back.  Got my breakfast and was ready to sit down.  Usually Jack had a hard time getting on the floor because of his arthritis.  I would usually watch him to make sure he was o.k. as he layed down.  This morning was no exception.  He was really kind of unsteady on his feet.  I had this terrible sinking feeling that something was wrong.  Then he just flopped on the floor and died right in front of me!!!!!!!!!!!!  What a terrible sight. 

I went screaming for Ryan, and just caught Breanna before she got on the bus, and called Mark as he was driving to work.  We were all in tears.  We covered Jack up with my new snowflake blanket (because he loved to play in the snow) and we all bawled and couldn't believe he was actually gone. 

Mark and Ryan buried him in yard.  I still look at the spots where he used to lay down.  Coming in the house is hard because I expect him to be there to greet me or nuzzle his nose on my lap or follow me or just come up to me when I'm not feeling good. 

He was my big boy my baby and the best dog!!!
