Jefferson will be missed 1995-Aug. 5, 2009
Posted by mysavannah on August 7, 2009
Carol had just finished first grade and I had just started my business in 1995. Jefferson was our FIRST dog; a toy poodle. Carol specifically wanted a poodle because she read that they were smart -
I knew something was wrong late Wed afternoon – he couldn’t walk straight – so I took him to the Emergency Vet on Eisenhower. His x-ray indicated a very, very enlarged heart. They didn’t think he would make it through the night.
I called my daughter and she listened to the vet on speaker phone. We both came to the conclusion that our precious Jefferson needed to be put to sleep. He was in distress, and there was no recovery -
Coming home – the house is now so quiet – not in a good way.
“…love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.”

… he was the cutest dog in the world

Marjorie, condolences on the loss your beloved dog. I have a little one now and even miss her when I travel for a few days and I know you have a large hole in your spirit house at this time. I wish I could fill it for you but you must do it yourself and only in time. in time.
Always, Steve

Marjorie, what can I say! These pups leave a hole in your heart when they go. Our oldest Shih Tzu (age 9) also has a very enlarged heart and a very bad spine and we know she won’t live a full life. I’ll keep you and Jefferson in my thoughts!
