My wonderful Jessie,

I had to let you go this morning, I know you will be with Jody now. You would have been 14 in 2 weeks time, such a Sweet Gentle Girl your whole life. Loved your family, loved food, loved water owe how you could swim, loved tennis balls.
I will miss you so much for ever and love you forever: you and Jody will be in my thoughts and soul always.

I wish I could have changed it I am so sorry that I could not save you, You were always so happy with your tail never stopping.

Jessie was born on Sept 20th 1996 in St Austell UK, she came to join our family in Dec 96, she loved Jody from the start and always lay beside her or even half on top of her. She had numerous joint problems and was in an Emergency Vets for 8 days 2mths ago for a Vestibular event. She had a Cat scan and all the work up and nothing was found. Then suddenly yesterday she had a seizure at 12 with another at 10. The second took her a long time to come around, so we took her back to the Emergency vets to see if they could do anything; they thought was either a brain lesion or deep Otitis that had penetrated her brain, with 2 seizures so close together and what they thought was focal ones in there. I was left with making the hardest decision of my life. To let her go.

My husband was there with me and we took her into a nicer room. I kept asking is there nothing else that can be done and was told nothing.

As I held her head in my arms and my face in front of hers I told her what a wonderful girl she is and how I loved her so much. I cried and cried as they put the injections in and watched her stop breathing, telling her all the time I loved her so much.

I am broken hearted now and only relief is hoping she is with her friend Jody who passed away 3 yrs ago; there is a memorial for her
as well on this site.

I love you Jessie my Sweet girl and always will, wait for me until we are together again.

 

Love you always and forever,
Geraldine O'Connell
