Life Can Turn on a Dime

The Flame that burns twice as bright,
Burns half as long

It is with a crushed heart that I tell of the loss of our Jimmy
on Wednesday morning. Only 12 days earlier he received a diagnosis of Hemangiosarcoma.

One of Jimmy's many nick names was "The Boss". He stayed in charge right to the very end,
passing away shortly before the vet came to ease his passage.

Jimmy was so much larger than life, a boisterous, funny boy who always had a lot to say
and he said it loudly! His personality ran to the intense and this made him an excellent
agility teammate for many great years. He loved that game and he gave it his all.

He was an avid television watcher and could pick out an animal character even if it was only a cartoon. He would quickly lose interest when nothing but people filled the screen.

He was the most intelligent dog I have ever had, understanding a huge vocabulary of words. But he was an even better communicator with his eyes. Whole conversations could be had watching the
expressions in his beautiful, bright eyes.

I will forever miss gazing into those windows of Jimmy's mind and soul.

To Anne his breeder, thank you for giving us one of the best highlights in ours lives.
Jimmy was one of a kind. I know you are grieving for him as well.

To Jimmy himself I say : As you journey across the Bridge, please know that you made our lives
so much better and that you are and always will be incredibly loved and incredibly missed.
That will never end. Keep an eye out for your brother Wilson, he won't be far behind.

  8. I know I have commented above, but I wanted to add, to John, how sorry I am, as I remember that Jimmy designated himself as "John's dog." To you both, losing a loved one early is so much harder than losing someone after a long, good life. I unexpectedly lost my twin brother, followed shortly by my first Cardigan (both, sadly, to a blood clot in the spine) many years ago, and not a day goes by that I don't remember them and love them. As you so eloquently wrote, this is true for you and Jimmy, too.

  11. Thank you Fay for the kind thoughts.. Jimmy's flame burnt twice as bright, thus only half as long. We'll always love him and never forget him.

  12. Jimmy brought so many of us such joy, but none as much as you. I am so incredibly sorry. I didn’t expect this so it feels like a gut punch. Sending love to all of you.
