It's time.

It's time to talk about it. A week has past since Jenna has past away and I’m not feeling as guilty as I did. You see, Jenna was special in lot of ways. After getting married on 10/10/92 we moved into an apartment, always hoping to get a rottie but could not keep one there. Months went by and new neighbors moved in next door (with a puppy rottie). Jenna was her name. She started life bad. She had just gotten over parvo, and a big vet bill. The owner could not handle her. They let us have her free as long as we would keep her name. You see she was born 10/10/92. Time to move on to a house. Soon after she started limping bad and cried to. The vet said it was arthritis, and nothing could be done. The best we could try to do is exercise her less- (tough to do).
On Oct 2.1996 came another blow to her; she became unresponsive, so off to (Tufts University). Two weeks later she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. While Jenna was there they told us she would never make it, but if read her eyes you knew that she wouldn’t give up. Jenna did make it and would be on steroids forever. Finally in 2000 her legs were giving out and could stand that well, but she never gave up. For two more years Jenna lived, as time went on she could no longer walk or get up by herself and she couldn’t control going to the bathroom. Please don’t think this was wrong, Jenna didn’t care about playing outside or running around. Jenna only cared about being with us. The last two months Jenna finally got old. There were lumps under her neck growing fast. Last Saturday Jenna looked at me different as she must have known something. I slept beside her for the last time. It was very hard to let go. On Sunday morning she was shaking from pain, it was time. Maybe another week I thought but Jenna told this was it. As I’m writing this I can’t stop crying, she is missed very much.

She loved you

You gave Jenna so much and in return she gave you all the love she had. There is no way any one can say what you did was wrong or that you waited too long. They tell us when it's finally time, they seem to know that we sometimes just can't say it ourselves, we always want one more day, one more week.

Jenna told you it was her time, please don't beat yourself up, she never changed the love she had for you.

Bless you for taking her and loving her, giving her a better life than she was originally bound for.

She joins so many others at the Bridge, waiting patiently on you to join her.

Kathy

So sorry for the loss of your girl.. she is now pain free, and you can be sure that she loves you the same, if not more... thanks to you she is not suffering any more.. you gave her the best of everything, and she knew it.. she is watching over you..

My eyes are filled with tears over your touching tribute for Jenna. What a brave girl she was. My heart goes out to you.

Jenna the miracle rottie girl, rest in peace sweet girl. May all the angels wrap their arms and paws around you and comfort you so there is no more pain, only love and peace.

Jenna knows how much you truly loved her and how much you watched out for her.
You are right, their main thing in life is to be with us---it is hard to say who gets more pleasure out of the relationship!
My sweet Derby (gone just over a month now) was there to show her the ropes---they are both newbies at the bridge and can learn together.
My heart goes out to you, I really, really know how hard your decision was.
You gave Jenna a great life!!

Your love for Jenna and her love for you are quite evident from your tribute. You gave her all the care she could benefit from and she finally let you know when there was nothing more that could be done. I remember spending the last night sleeping on the floor next to Thor before his exploratory surgery that confirmed he had metastatic cancer and that we had to let him go. Please know many of us are thinking of you and have known that deep sense of loss at a time like this.

You gave your girl all that mattered in life, that is unconditional love and she returned that to you ten fold. I am sorry that she had to go but she will wait until the end of time to be with you again. Don't cry, she is without pain now. she will be in your dreams, somedays you will wake up with her kisses and wonder were they came from.
