Dear Jack:







I am writing this to help me get through one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. My beloved friend and best dog ever had to be put to rest 2 days ago. I know he is in a better place but I feel like I need to express my love for him. 6 months ago we found out that Jack had a tumor growing on his nerves in his shoulder. I thought he was doing better when we got him on some medication. He was putting weight back on and eating again. I went home to visit him and thought he just didnt look fat he had something going on in his abdomen that made him gain so much weight so fast. we took him to the vet and sure enough his chest and stomach was filled with fluid. The vet said he had a heart condition and it wasnt pumping right so the fluid was just getting backed up into his chest. He could breath very good and we knew we had a tough decision to make. I am not sure if what I thought was for the best actually is but I felt at the moment that I didn't have any other choice. I have never lost a pet I was so close to and never thought it would happen so soon. I am so sorry I wan't there for him as much as I should have been. I was working to get him back home to us and thought I had a little more time. Jack was very much loved and missed for the last year. I will never forget him and all the joy he brought to our family.



I love you Jack and will never forget you. You are the best.
