Thread: 22-9-2008 Farewell My Jack

Jeff my sincerest condolences,
everyone should know that relationship you had from the big fella. There would be a lot more respect given to the true dogs of this world if people could feel what it is to have a "Jack" stand beside you and for you. My best friend ever was a big hound also called "Jack" who l laid to rest under an elm tree some quarter of a century ago and l still think of the times we shared with a joy in my heart.
Your big mate sure had that look of being a stout and honest individual,
regards Tony

Hi Tony,
Thank you for your kind words.
He touched quite a few people around him. We did have a very special bond. He taught me a hell of a lot and will be in my thoughts for as long as I have thoughts. I have been lucky enough to have had a few special dog's over the years. I hope that I will find another “special” one someday. Not looking for awhile but know it will come. I still have good old Rosie.
Jack seemed to think differently to any dog I have shared time with. He was a challenge and a absolute pleasure.
I am a lucky man. At the moment a sad but lucky man.
Cheers

My deepest condolences to you, Gail and Rosey.

I too will miss the big bugger. The way he greeted me at the front door when I popped in for coffee. The way he demanded my attention when I sat down on your couch. Then in his own way would say, "Mark's here, it pigs ear time". Such a very special friend that will be sadly missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing "Jack".

It's times like this that we reflect on how special our canine friends really are.

I am so sorry mate.... I know how much he meant to you, Gail, and of course Rosey.

See you soon.

Mark

Thanks Mark,
The place is bloody quiet with him gone. Rosie will bark at the door etc. But as you know Jack made his presents known at all times.
The pigs ears should last well now Rosie seems to be less interested now he is not pushing for one all the time.
Gail has had a shocking year with family deaths First her Brother with cancer then two Aunties and a Uncle. Poor old girl is sick or crying.
Rose has checked every park we have been to for her old mate.
I'm doing ok.
Well at least Bossco will be allowed in the yard again when you need a coffee!
Thanks for the kind words for the old boy.
Cheers mate.
Jeff

Thanks Nathan,
I know you prefer your dogs "Black and Tan" but he was a good old mate.
Thanks for you for your kind wishes.
Cheers
Jeff

Very sorry for your loss. The only consolation is the treasured memories of the good times you've shared which are irreplaceable.
