Schatzi'sMum Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Thanks CDM - I am sure he will be up there playing with them all :rolleyes: BT - that was beautiful! Thank you so much! My heart is very sad for him today, it's hard to be back in my day today routine without having his big black nose sticking into everything I do...

GSD's 4EVER Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 It's the first day of many "firsts" Sweetie. It will get easier as time goes on. :rolleyes: I struggled with all the "firsts" until the first anniversay of Zena's death. A special ;) to you Rach & those other gorgeous kiddies of yours for today. Your "care" package is in the mail. Hopefully it will get there in the next day or 2. I looked at that post from BT & thought "OK, who are you & what have you done with my husband ??" ;) Just goes to show how much of an impact Jae has on people. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schatzi'sMum Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Ahhh Jae taught many men that it's cool to be a sensitive guy! ;) Poor Schatz was quite sad last night, she spent most of the evening on "Jae's spot" on the couch. She did manage to get up and ask repeatedly for food :rolleyes: but she is grieving poor girl ;) Let's hope the post up here doesnt let me down too badly and I can get some care into her ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelodysMum Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Shatzi'sMum, my eyes filled with tears as I read your beautiful tribute to your special boy. Seeing the photos of him made me even worse. ;) I am so sorry for your loss. He looks like he was such a beautiful cuddly teddy boy. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Run free Jaegar! :rolleyes: SM, Jaegar's love will be with you forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikira Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I am finding that I am thinking a lot about Jae today, and I am cuddling my two dogs just that little bit more. This tragedy has really made me realise that you need to treasure every moment with those you love, because it is true that tomorrow is not promised to anyone, and who knows when there won't be a tomorrow - for us or them.

Well said Tikira. I've felt that way for a very long time as I've lost both animals & humans suddenly that I have been very close to. I try every day to treat my fellow man with a little more understanding & smile at all the animals that I come across during my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schatzi'sMum Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) I am finding that I am thinking a lot about Jae today, and I am cuddling my two dogs just that little bit more.

I try every day to treat my fellow man with a little more understanding & smile at all the animals that I come across during my day. I am very thankful that I got those last few days with him to give him a proper send off and say goodbye. So many of our friends are taken before we have that chance. Tikira I hope its OK - I'd like to post your beautiful poem here as it sums up my big bear better than I can Jaeger's Gift As I gazed into your eyes on that very first day, I knew that all too soon I would have to go away. I could not bear to leave you alone, so I made a plan, To bring in others who would love you as much as I can. First I picked a little girl, she would fit in so well, A beautiful white ball of fluff came with us to dwell. I chose her well, a “feral treasure” from up above, And together we tested the limits of your love. I realized then you girls would need a man, After all, boys smooch better than most girls can. So Schatzi had puppies, and I became “uncle Jae”. I taught these babies to be like me in every way. As time marched on I knew which boy was the one, A bundle of white with a green ribbon, he would be fun . This clown would make you smile when I couldn’t be there, He would idolize you and follow you everywhere. I did a great job choosing our little family you know, I was proud of them as I watched them learn and grow, And then as pain racked my body day and night, I knew when my time came my mum would be alright So as I looked into your eyes that last day, I was content, and not afraid to go away. I knew that one day you would be happy again, And say to Schatzi and Kato. “Remember when…” Love forever, Jaeger.

kelpiechick Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I never come into this thread, but something just drew me here today. What an absolutely stunning looking dog Jae was - RIP Jae. And what a hard decision it must have been to make - but the right one and hugs to you for having the courage to do what I believe dogs would have no problem doing if it was up to them. And yes, they are with us for such a short but wonderful time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
