Jackson, words cannot describe how much you are missed. The ten years we had together was far too short. Your death was quick and unexpected, but could I have ever been prepared for life without my beloved canine companion?

I thought two years ago when you survived cancer that you could survive almost anything. Unfortunately, that did not hold true.

We were together since you were two months old and I watch you grow from a pup into a fine dog. We traveled together and lived in many places. You always adjusted and were happy no matter where we were.

I look at your longtime playmate 'Casey' and know that she misses you deeply. She wonders where you are. It is so hard to come home and know you are not there to greet me. 

If only more people had your personality; fun, loving and just wanting to be loved, then the world would be a more peaceful loving place.
