FOR JENNY, MY SWEET, SWEET JENNY...................A LITTLE PIECE OF MY HEART DIED LAST NIGHT

I should have written this story a while ago. As usual, life got in the way and now I must write it in past tense.

Jenny was half German Shepherd/Half Golden Retriever. Every one thought she was a black lab. I'm sad to say after almost 14 great years together, she passed away in my arms last night.  Here is her story.

My beautiful Jenny

Jenny was a one of a kind dog. I got her in 1999 right before Christmas. She was the cutest puppy I had ever seen. Okay, so I say this about all my dogs. What can I say, I'm a sucker for puppies, but what dog lover isn't?

They say animals reflect their humans, well I guess it's true. When I got Jenny, I was very needy and having a flair up with lupus. Therefore, Jenny became a needy dog who had horrible separation anxiety. 

I thought I could write this story tonight but I just can't. My heart hurts too much. Instead, I'll share my favorite pictures of her and our other animals.

Jenny, Butch and Sophie

Jenny and Butch the day we tore down the porch. They were so depressed.

Ginger, Jenny and Butch.

I believe this is the last picture I took of her.

In most of the above pictures Jenny is smiling. RIP my sweet girl.

IT'S RAINING CATS AND DOGS

I really wanted to get back to training with Sophie this week but alas, it is raining. It has been raining for at least a week straight. 

I guess it is all for the best. Her paw has healed but she still limps. Hopefully the rain will stop by next weekend.
