Jora was with me for 16 years. She was my baby. I got her from a pet store and when she got there she was so sick, she almost died. I worked with her and worked
with her to make her well.
When I took her home with me it was like she had always been with me. I never had to house break her it was like she knew, even as a puppy she would wake me at night to go outside. She slept with me from the beginning and you would think she was a person, head on the pillow and would even throw her leg over me. She was so funny. I never went on vacation unless she could go.
If you had to count the nights that I spent without her you would only have to use ten fingers maybe. And then I only would let her stay with family, I would never put her in a kennel or let her stay with some one I did not know.
We traveled every where together.
We used to pack up on the week ends and go to my Mom and Dad’s. They have a farm and there she could run her legs off and be free, no lease there. She would run so much and play so hard that after we got back home she would sleep for days. We would travel to the mountains together too. As she got older and could no longer jump on the bed I put a blanket down beside the bed. She turned white in the face. Her eyes got bad and her hearing too, but I took care of her till the end. I loved her more than I could ever put into words. The day she left me was the worst day ever, but I know that know she can run again; hear again; see again and I know that she is with me.
She has come to visit a few times.
I still talk to her and I miss her so much my heart still aches everyday. I know that I will see her one day at the rainbow bridge and I cannot wait to see that face again. She loved me and stood by me no matter what and I loved her and stood by her no matter what. Dogs are such fateful companions and I could have not had a better one than Jora.
I Love You, Jora, and miss more than you will ever know.
See you one day and we will be together again.
