In April of 2003, I found Jack at a McDonald’s laying just outside by the drive in area where you drive up and place an order. He was licking on a piece of paper that someone had thrown out and he was finishing up what was left of someone’s hamburger. I parked and walked up to him. He looked awful. He was so skinny and was full of fleas and ticks. But his eyes melted my heart. He came immediately to me wagging his tail. I picked him up and put him in the back of my car. I took him to my backyard and gave him a bath. As I sat down in the grass and started drying him off, he layed down and put his head in my lap. I knew this sweet dog and I would have a bond that would last a very long time. Took him to the Vet the next day and had him dipped and neutered. Picked him up a couple of days later and he looked like a different dog. His blonde coat looked much better! I knew it would take awhile to get him looking better, I could see all of his ribs. He was so malnurished. The Vet told me he was about 3 years old. I named him Jack. Once I got some food in him, Jack blossomed! He was so happy and full of energy. In 2004, I moved to the Austin Texas area. I had found another stray pup that was on the side of the road. She was 1/2 healer. I brought her home to Jack and named her Jill. So I had Jack and Jill!! They were inseparatable!! In 2009, I rescued a 1/2 German Shepherd 1/2 Hound Dog from a Kill Shelter. Brought this sweet baby home. I named him Jake. So I had Jack, Jill and Jake. In 2007 Jack got sick. The Vet said that he had Eurlikia Disease from having ticks. The Vet saved Jack, but he lost his sight. So now Jack was Blind. But that did not stop this sweet boy. He adjusted to his blindness and I kept taking him and Jill and Jake to the Dog Park every weekend. Jack used his hearing to guide him around the other two. He was amazing!! I was so amazed at how Jack would get out into the pond and swim with Jill and Jake, and run around the park with them. He never let his blindness stop him. If he got too far away from me at the Dog Park he would stop to listen to me call his name and here he came running! I moved to Amarillo, Texas in August 2014. By this time Jack was about 13 years old and was slowing down. But his sweet disposition and loving spirit never faultered with Jack. On February 1st, Jack had a seizure and never pulled out of it. I held him close and told him how much I loved him as he quietly and peacefully departed from this life. I miss him everyday, and so do Jill and Jake. Jack was a blessing and I know his time with me was special. I think I needed him more than he needed me. I love you my sweet Jack.
