    My beautiful fella Jasper I had to let go on April 25, 2022, and I still hurt and cry for him everyday! He was almost 11 and was diagnosed with prostate cancer and was gone in less than a month after diagnosis. I got him at 3 months from a Dayton, Ohio rescue group, and while he frequently was a challenge and always very mischievous, he was a wonderful and loyal companion.
    • Sue, you may cry for a long time, and I hope some of your tears are happy for the wonderful times you enjoyed together. Poor little Jasper, at least he didn’t suffer too long and is at peace now. But you are left behind, empty in his absence, and that hurts unlike any other pain. It takes time to heal and find smiles before tears with your memories. The upcoming holiday season may be tough, and we are here for you. Please let us know how you are doing. Toni
      • Thank you, Toni, for your words of love. Yes, I am grateful that Jasper didn’t suffer long, but it gave me little time to prepare for the loss of him. My 49 year old son died of COVID on December 19, 2021, and Jasper was so much comfort to me at that time, and before I had even begun to recover from the loss of my son, I lost my loving comfort fella. I am working on healing from both losses and am having a very hard time of it. I am trying to remember the good times, happy times, with my son and Jasper. My best friend gave me a plaque after my son’s death that says: “When I Needed A Hand, I Found Your Paw,” which was so fitting for the situation I was in at the time! Jasper’s paw was very much needed comfort and he seemed to know exactly when I needed it! Thank you again, for your loving sentiments.
