On Saturday , February 21st just as the snow started, we said goodbye to our little boy , Jeffrey , after a long , brave battle with heart disease.
Oh jeffy, the youngest of the trio, the baby. The little black floof that chose us.
A lanky little fuzzy boy, with springs in your legs. The best little muppet face featuring just one snaggle tooth.
You were such a foolish little critter with lots of quirks and a bark that could shatter glass. The only “toys” you loved were cotton balls from the craft section.. or a cherry tomato. A love for all fuzzy blankets and cozy spots. You hated any weather that wasn’t 20 plus with sun. You wouldn’t dare to walk on wet grass.
In your younger years , when Winny had another litter , you were such a hands on big brother. Built in babysitter for Winny.
When we found out Meadow was on the way, you slept against my belly every night. Once we brought her home you stayed close by, always checking on her and getting up with me for every night feeding.
In your final days we made sure you had the best time. You got to see all your favorite people, eat all your favorite foods, extra car rides and cozy cuddles.
I got to see you come into this world and take your first breath, and when it was time, I saw you take your last , in your dads arms, in your home, all cozy.
I wish we could start over Jeffaroo, 13 years was not nearly enough. No amount of time would ever be. Such a special boy.
I hope Winny (Fortune) was there to meet you at the rainbow bridge, with your brothers and sisters. You were never the same after we lost her.
I hope you are together again eating all the pizza and cheesy bread, lying in the warm sun.
Willy is certainly missing you. He’s never been an only dog, but we are helping him through.
We love you Jeffy. We miss you beyond words. There will never be another you.
