I can't possibly put into words a fit enough tribute for Jack so this will be brief, but plenty of pictures.
We met Jack on 27/12/2016, I'd heard about him through family/family friends, his owner had passed away and he was very sad and not coping well. He hadn't yet found a suitable home as he was snappy and didn't tolerate children grabbing him and couldn't be housed with cats. We took him home the day we met him! He took a while to settle as was clearly still grieving his previous owner. He came to us with a proper poodle hair cut so rather funny looking and already had huge character, he soon made himself at home. He loved the park, chasing balls and his toys.
He went everywhere with us, the easiest dog to take on the train, buses, any location he'd happily settle. He has been on many holidays, various places in the lake District, hebden bridge, Filey, Scarborough, robin hood's bay and Cropton forest.
He's had loads of doggy friends over the years. He was only scared of big dogs and certain breeds otherwise he enjoyed saying hello to doggies. He particularly loved Pomeranians and chihuahuas, or other super fluffy breeds!
He had so many fans, people fell in love with his usual looks! Although he is quite aloof with strangers. He battled many health problems although you'd never know he was sick, he had bladder stones, gallbladder sludge, high liver values, arthritis, diabetes and lastly non healing eye ulcers. He came through any ops brilliantly and was so brave, although tricky at the vets due to his nature!
Right up until the end we couldn't go anywhere without people coming over and asking about him, he's been called a bear, raccoon, fox, Paddington Bear and the gruffolo!
He ended his life so peacefully, he went on a final trip to the beach to lie in the sea air and feel the sea and sand on his paws, enjoyed meals his health didn't allow him to have before of chicken, egg and rice, and had a picnic including sardines and banana on his last day. He went round his favourite walk and at the vets he ate cheese as the sedation relaxed him, we were by his side telling him how loved he is, and that his previous owner will be waiting for him. He was almost gone at just the sedation alone, his body ready. We are so grateful he got to meet our daughter, and we can't wait to tell her about him as she grows up.
Jack, you've been the best boy, life is so incredibly sad without you. But I take comfort in all the memories we have and that you ended life so peacefully. You will always be loved and missed
I would love to add more pictures from his life but I just have so many, so only recent ones are below.
