In Loving Memory
Jiffy
1967 - 1980
It has been 20
plus years since I have seen your sweet face, held you
in my arms, played with you or spoken with you. We had
13 wonderful years together and you made my life so
happy and full that I never considered one day you would
leave me. Then one day I was told you had cancer-the
slow progressing type. I did not think I could cope. I
could not imagine you gone from my life. But I would
still have you at least a year or so I was told. But the
doctor was wrong and I witnessed you slowly withdrawing
from life-and from me. I could not let you suffer. It
was the hardest decision I ever had to make in my life,
but it was the compassionate thing to do. I was with you
until the end then took you home for burial where I
could talk to and visit you every day. I have NEVER in
my life experienced such profound grief and sadness. It
was prolonged. I was paralyzed with pain. I had lost my
BEST friend and my ''Sweet Baby Girl''. Tears are
falling now as I try to write this memorial to you. I
hope I do your memory justice.
It took me 4
years before I was ready for another dog after the loss
of the ''family'' dog, which was really mine. I searched
for you a long time and wanted a dog that looked like
him. There was a new breed called ''Peek-a-Poo'' and I
figured they probably looked like my ''family'' dog. I
was right. I found you in Salem. There were many to
choose from, but when your big, soft, brown eyes met
mine, I fell instantly in love with you!! I did not care
if you were male or female. I picked you up and never
let go of you. You were so small you fit in the cup of
my hand. You never weighed over 10 pounds-even though
you had a HEARTY appetite. Not for DOG food-it was
yucky. Only people food for you. You even loved Coke and
beer.
Everyone and I mean EVERYONE who met
you LOVED you. Some took a look at you and thought,
''Oh, she has one of those yapping little heal
nippers''. But you won over even THOSE doubters so
quickly and easily with your friendly, outgoing, sweet
and flirtatious personality. Friends and family never
inquired just about me-it was always ''us'' as if we
were connected, bonded together as one entity. I felt
the same way. I did not think I would survive without
you in my life. There were days I wish I hadn't. I'll be
with you again one day.
I will love you always and forever my Sweet
Baby.
