Hello this is Jack! I am a good boy! I am an excellent hunter, and up here I’m a great angel, too! Yes, today makes it one whole year since I floated away in my humans arms and went up to heaven. I remember I was tired and in pain and we were looking into each others eyes and she was petting me and calling me Sweet Boy and then she faded away and the next thing I knew I had no pain at all and I was with Buddy, and Sweet Pea and Zeke and Precious, and Smokey and all of the many fur and feather babies that my human has loved over the years and we’ve been running around in a beautiful grassy park ever since.
But I’ve been keeping an eye on my human. She’s had a very hard time this past year. I’ve tried to visit her in dreams, to comfort her and tell her I’m okay. She loves hard, and forever, and sometimes has a hard time moving on. So I just couldn’t stay away today. I’m here to bring her a special message.
Hello my human! It’s me, Jack! I miss you too! I know. I know. I wish we had more time, too. It just wasn’t meant to be. But the time we did have was the BEST! You made me so happy! I love you! I adore you! Please don’t be sad any more. It makes me sad too. I am always with you in your heart. I know you can feel it.
I know it’s been hard for you. I watch you. I love to be in your heart. We all do.
So you have to know that my back disease wasn’t your fault. None of it was your fault. You need to know that. It’s okay. When I look back to a year ago, I know you did your very best for me. Remember how sick you were? It was so hot. You coughed and coughed. You hadn’t slept in weeks. Yet you found the strength to try to take care of me, and everyone else.
Remember how hard it was to pick me up and get me outside? You braced yourself up against the wall and lifted my broken body into your chest, barely making it down the steps of our home on wheels. I know that really hurt. I saw your tears. But you never complained. You just held my back end up in the yard so I wouldn’t pee on myself. You carried me in and out for many, many days.
You tried to make my medicine taste good and gave me special treats even when I didn’t feel like eating them. You kept my sores and “sick bed” clean and dry. You sat with me and told me what a good boy I was when I felt so terrible and sad. You didn’t let that man take me and “put me down”.
Not every human would have done that. Not every human would have tried so hard. Not every human would have kept so much hope and determination. I will always love you for that—you were the best!
I’m very grateful for every minute of our time together. I would not want to have been with any other human. I’m so grateful, too, that my original human gave me to you. She was smart and good and she sure knew what she was doing, even though I was scared to go with you at first. She knew we were meant to be together. 
Even though it was only for a year and a half, we had many wonderful adventures I’ll cherish forever. Laying on the soft couch, the smell of your cooking, all those cushy toys to put in my mouth, riding in the truck, hunting the birds, that skunk, swimming in the big ocean water, running free on the farm, pointing the lizards and chasing those long skinny legged birds, all of those bones and chews, curling up with you on that big chair…..my life with you was pure joy. Never did get on board with those two female dust mops though.
Yes. For me, our time was perfect. I want you to think so too. Remember the good stuff, my loving human, just the good stuff.
The last thing I’ll say is that I am an excellent hunter and so are you. All of us up here that have shared in your life feel the same way. We all want to see you celebrating the outdoors again. It’s time. You need to open your heart to a new hunting partner. You have plenty of room in that great big heart. Buddy and I want you to. So do it. Go hunting this fall. Find a good boy or girl, and spend the summer together getting ready to chase birds all fall. They will stand at your side and adore you just like we all do. Please promise you’ll make new adventures and memories and share your heart again.
Well, it looks like I’m wanted back upstairs. I gotta say, the birds up here are fantastic, and there’s no limits!
Always, your Jack
Thank you for stopping by and reading my post. You can read all about the adventures me and my human PR had together in the outdoors… I wrote lots of stories under “I AM JACK” in her blog category, “Words From The Wild”. I was careful not to have many typos. I am a good boy! If you like what you see, please let her know by “liking” her website. (She says it’s important to get “likes”, whatever that means. I know I like her lots!) You can even join her tribe to automatically receive new postings ‘hot off the press’. Please feel free to share with others who may find meaning and value in our journey together, and PR Brady AdVentures. Thanks again, Jack.
