Gone To A Better Place

Description

"Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart is a memory
And there... You'll always be."
From The Fox and The Hound


It was back in 2002, in July... Up in Big Bear (Aka a mountain area), I had desired to have my own dog. Not a family pet, but one I can call my own. It took some convincing, but my parents agreed. My grandma (She and my grandpa used to own a house in Big Bear) took me and Mom to a place where a woman had kept many dogs, being a small place. I remember looking at all of them. And then, I saw her. The dog who would be mine- For the next 16 years. We picked her. She was originally named "Sprinkles", but we changed it of course. Being a game fan, I wanted to name her "Zelda" (Hey, if Robin Williams could name a daughter that, why not me with a dog?), but both Mom and Grandma voted against it. Eventually... They chose the name "Jenny". I went with it, and from there... A bond formed between her and I, especially after I comforted her as she ended up car sick as we were going home (Darn road is super curvy and such, kinda hard not to lose your last meal).

Over the years, when I felt lonely... She was there. When I was sad, she was there. Even through the hardest of times, she managed to calm me and remind me I wasn't alone. Even when she herself had hard times, I was there for her. And I basically became her world. She couldn't bear the idea of being alone nor liking the idea of me going off. But I had eventually, for food and such. However, she was always there to greet me and ensure I knew she was happy to have me back. And she would follow me everywhere, thus, I would playfully call her "my shadow", as a result. However, I didn't mind it, since I did like having a companion who wanted to be by my side. And she had been, for 16 years. She lived for so long. And now.. She can finally be at peace and no longer suffer.

She'll always be in my heart, along with my past pets. None of them will ever be forgotten...


RIP Jenny, 2002-2018. You were the best dog I could ever ask for, you were the first dog I officially ever owned and was able to proudly say you were mine. I'm glad you went peacefully. ...I'll never forget you. I love you, Jenny.
