JB

2018 - 2025

JB was the first dog I ever owned. I never used to quite understand the love people had for their dog until this special creature came into my life. At first, it was my bf at the time who adopted him, but I was there that day. From the moment I saw him, he grabbed a special place in my heart. Over the next few days, it was clear JB had chosen me instead to be his human. I taught him tricks, we played tug all the time, and I was the one he always ran to the moment I came home. I think maybe JB knew I would find the courage one day to leave my ex who was very abusive, and he felt I would need him by my side. We spent the next 6 years together, every day, and our bond was the closest I have ever felt to another in my whole life. He saved me many times from absolute despair, made me smile and laugh each and every day, and I loved him so very much. I know he loved me too because he would just look at me, in my eyes, and lay his chin on my leg. That's when I could feel the love from him filling my whole body, and it was just such a wonderful feeling. He was my only family here in CA, he was my bestest friend, my everything. He truly was the best thing that had ever happened to me, and I am thankful to God that he let JB be a part of my life even though I wish he was here longer. It was such a major blow when he got sick, and his decline was so fast, it really has been so hard for me. I really thought he would be around much longer. However, I am so grateful that he was in my life, and so grateful I got to say goodbye, and let him know how much he meant to me. He was such a special dog. Very loving, a huge cuddle bug, a silly boy, and also a gentleman! He played gentle with smaller dogs, and he knew i had disabilities as he was gentle when I would try to run with him, and when we would play games together. I have so many wonderful memories of JB, and I will cherish them for the rest of my life. I will never forget him, and will never stop loving him. Thank you my sweet silly JB.....thank you...for loving me. I will see you again, and until then, you are always in mommy's heart. I love you.
