In memory of Jerry..........
It’s been a few months now since we've had to say goodbye, and even now we cannot go a day without thinking of you. You are such a special dog. For over 14 years you were the apple of your parents’ eyes, the sweet, shy, reserved soul with the heart of gold. Everywhere, I mean everywhere we went people asked, “what kind of dog is that?” I’ll tell you what kind of dog he was; Jerry was light, love, and happiness – and also an Ibizan Hound for those who wished to know. He was a special breed and special dog. When he came to us after his adoption, he was afraid of women, but he adored his dad early on. As his mom, I made it my mission to win him over. I spoiled him with love, trust and treats and eventually he became my best bud. We learned his favourite things were bacon, cheese, his squeaky furry ball, being brushed, and hugged and petted by the people he loved. His least favourite thing was going in the car - ironic for a dog. When we took this pooch home that very first time, he got car sick immediately and consistently throughout the four-hour drive home. My husband and I said, “what have we gotten ourselves into?” We laugh about that day now and cherish it. The best description of Jerry’s life is this: he loved and was loved.
