Considering a Jack companion

May 1st, 2017

Hey Honey Baby-Bella,

We miss you so much that you can’t believe it. The house is so empty without you.

We want to share some updates with you while you wait for us and play at Rainbow Bridge with all our beloved friends and family.

First of all, Jack says he misses his sister tremendously. I actually had to translate into English because his exact words were something like “ruff, ruff, woof, bark, woof, ruff”. He’s continually searching the house for you, but he obviously comes up empty in his search. It’s sad; frankly. Brandee and I are giving him extra-special attention because he deserves it and he’s being as strong as can be expected. We can tell from the look in his eyes, his body behavior and his overall attitude that he deserves a sibling.

Considering a sibling for Jack is in no way ever meant as an intention to replace you; that is never, ever possible in a trillion years. Rather, as Brandee and I have discussed ad nauseam, a sincere effort to enhance Jack’s quality of life. Also, as you certainly can appreciate, our families love for animals is tremendous. If we can help one other animal to have a better life then we want to do this in all sincerity.

Brandee, Jack and I have been so antsy here without you that it’s unbelievable and we want to focus this energy on doing some good. Therefore, we think adoption of a brother or sister for Jackson is the right thing. No way are we going to rush into any unnatural or unconformable adoption because the correct-match must feel right for all of us.

This all said, we have been to two animal shelters on Sunday and today at PetSmart to see who is available for adoption. Brandee and I are very open-minded as to whether Jack would like a feline or canine sibling and we are still 50/50 on the decision. We simply aren’t sure right now. One decision that we did discover was that it’s clear that he needs a younger sibling that he can play with like he did with you. You two were such a great brother/sister duo. I’ve been busy watching videos and reviewing photos of you two playing together and it’s truly heartwarming in this difficult time. Thanks for being such a purr-fect daughter!

As a quick side note I would like to share this quick mention about Brandee’s beautiful character. A result of visiting the animal shelters the past few days is that she had the great fortune to personally meet and get to know a bit of the background stories for several of the animals. Her compassion for wanting to help these animals to get rescued has resulted in her activism. Now she is sharing her experience with these shelter animals (named QUEEN and ROXY, in this particular case) on social media to share awareness in the hopes that someone will consider adoption. I think it’s absolutely wonderful and I’m sure you would agree Baaaabbbbyyyyy-Furr!

Oh, Bella, this is a very major decision for us because if we do adopt then we are fully committed. There are so many considerations, and almost guilt, even considering this so close to your journey to Rainbow Bridge. Please help guide us to make the proper decision whatever it may be.

We love you to forever and back again!!!

 

Love your forever family,

Kevin, Brandee and Jack
