Jackson by Mary Ann

I adopted Jackson
when he was almost 3 years old.
We bonded and he loved
my female Schnauzer.

Ilsa had to be put to sleep 5 weeks ago and it was totally unexpected. You see Jackson had cancer and I thought he would go first. Jackson could not get over losing Ilsa — they were like an old married couple. He just gave up – quit eating slept all the time — but he never stopped loving me.

He did get a last supper of a McDonald’s cheeseburger and fries. I told Jackson it was okay to go that Ilsa was waiting for him in heaven and they would be healthy and together always!

He went peacefully in my arms yesterday. I feel better knowing that he and Ilsa are together and looking after me.
