RIP Jackson


One of the last photos of Jackson, taken by Diane at the recent Fox Terrier Fun Walk

It is with a very heavy heart that I have to tell you that Jackson died peacefully in his sleep last night. When I woke early this morning he was still warm but already gone.

As many of you already know, he battled against many health issues during the (almost) 6 years we had with him, including degenerative disc disease, Cushing's Disease, cataracts and had survived major surgery for kidney stones, primary hyperparathyroidism and lung cancer. A short while ago he had a stroke, followed by 2 others, but seemed to be making a good recovery. I think that in the end his poor body had just had enough.

He spent his last day cheerfully, as ever; he trampled some flowers in our garden, sauntered around the local park, dined on pasta and tuna and spent the evening curled up on my lap where I like to think he was dreaming of his favourite occupation, destroying toys.

J2 and I have been very grateful for your support, kind words and comments over the years and hope that you will remember Jackson fondly. He was a dog in a million.

We know as we try to find words, nothing will adequately express our sorrow in the passing of Jackson. What a valiant little dog, the very one who introduced us to this community of families who treasure their four-leggeds as we know you did Jackson. It is because of that that we now cry, along with you. It is because of him that your family is a huge international one that grieves along with you. Jackson will be sorely missed and always always remembered.

We find comfort now only by believing that after so long Jackson runs free of pain and discomfort, full of vision and charged with happy enthusiasm at the Bridge. Just as he was a Leader here on earth, he now can join others and lead a giant gathering, waiting for the day we will all be reunited.

We send our heartfelt condolences and gobs of wirey love,
Jake and Fergi, Sally and Nina xxxxoooo

Jackson, brave Jackson, was one of our first blogging friends -- and he and his two Js have meant so much to us 4Js.

No words can express my sorrow.
Jackson was one of my first blog friends, knowing him in person was a joy, a privilege.
Thinking of you.

Much love

Daniella said...

Jackie and Jamie,
Tears are flowing in PHiladelphia today for darling Jackson. Eventhough we never had the privilege to meet him, we are honored to have known him. It is a comfort that he died in his sleep and is free of all his pain at last. We send so much love to you both - what you only did to help Jackson over the years is truly inspirational and heartwarming. If Jackson was the true example of bravery, then you both were true examples of what it is to love and care for a beloved pet.
Much love and sympathy. Jackson will NEVER be forgotten.

Dani and Axel

PS Hope you don't mind Jackie, I posted your email to FTN.

Dear J1 and J2
One of my wires is a rescue... this is his 5th home and I found him to be suffering from epilepsy shortly after adopting him. Jackson is truly our inspiration as I see how he lives such a rich, full and brave life with you. And how both of your love has inspired and given me the courage to be strong for my own wire. My wires and I are truly blessed to have met Jackson.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Jackson.

Hugs and loves,
Mango, Party and Tremandy

Eric said...

My heart's breaking for you, I'm so very sad and sorry. Jackson was one of our very first blog friends, helping,advising, offering support and friendships. He'll always be in our hearts and memories.

He stole a corner of our hearts the day we were so priviliged to meet up. That day will always be a happy memory. And the long barking conversation back and forth between Jackson and Eric had as we were leaving is forever imprinted -I'm sure they were saying something important to each other. If only we were as smart as they and able to understand.


I'm so relieved and pleased pleased Jackson was his normal wonderful wiry self right to the end, bless him, lovely boy. One thing I'm sure Jackson did know was that he had the most caring and loving family who were prepared to move heaven and earth to give him whatever it took to make his life the best it could possibly be. Both you and Jackson are one in a million. We'll be thinking of you. Sending much love and comfort your way.

Sunny,Scooter, (sometimes Jamie) said...

We have such heavy hearts today. We are so very sorry for this huge loss. What a gift he gave you by slipping away in his sleep. Peacefully. I imagine he is up in heaven ruling as the leader he was here on DWB.
All of us have so many that are already there and we imagine the meeting up is joyful. For you, I hope for a few smiles as you look back over the years. So hard, so very hard a thing to lose our dogs.
Just Jake has put up Rudyard Kipling's poem. Which we can only answer that the joy while here is why we give our hearts to a dog to tear.
Please know we will hold you in our hearts.
(((((((HUGS)))))) from across the bug pee
Run and play Jackson. You have so many to look up and become great friends with while you wait on your folks.

Our thoughts are with you J. I am so so so so sorry to read this news. Jackson battled long and hard, and overcame many obstacles, his verve for living was an example to us all.

Run free sweet Jackson, across the Rainbow Bridge.......

And Marvin barks, he is glad Jackson dined so well, and spent his last hours curled up on a warm lap. Plus the trampling of the flowers......a wonderful example of Exemplary Dogness.

RIP indeed sweet Boy.

My beloved Pip of Pal Jackson...for almost four years you have been my special not of my same spieces furrrriend. A beautiful dog and his kitty pal. I am so proud to have known you...never have I been more enchanted with a doggie friend. You were a joy to show off to all of my friends. Your braveness inspired so many of us. Your story captured our hearts. You opened up a new world of hope for so many and that will be your legacy. You taught us how to destroy toys in a nano second while charming the socks off of us as you did it! We will never forget you Jackson. I hope you will be waiting for me at the rainbow bridge when I arrive some day...until that day, please know that I am forever foxed by knowing you!

awwww, my heart goes to you dear friend. Jackson was really one of my favourites to follow. I did not comment much, but he really was a very special little pup! He is an angel now, looking after his family on earth from doggy heaven... happy to be away from the pains of his earthly body. Wagging his little tail and chewing his toys... all over again (coz they are brand new again!)

Thank you for sharing his life with us xxx

Ina in Alaska said...

This is my first visit and I come to you from a number of our common friends' blogs. I just want to tell you how sorry I am to know of your broken heart. It seems that Jackson was a valiant fighter but his little body just could not do any more. So sorry to you all, when our precious pets leave us they leave such gaping holes in our hearts and lives. When you say Jackson was one in a million I can agree with you! When we lost our Porter in 2007 I knew there could never be another like him and there has not been. Again, so sorry, I only wish they could stay with us longer. xoxoxo

I met Jackson this year on the Fox Terrier Walk at Brighton and it was wonderful to see him after seeing this wonderful blog he created. He had his carriage for getting out and about he was a great dog.
He has crossed the rainbow bridge and is chasing rabbits in doggy heaven.

Have only just read your sad news, and had a little cry. Although we had only just met you and Jackson for the first time at the Fox Terrier walk, we felt we knew Jackson and all his friends through your web pages, and really felt welcomed into the Fox Terrier community when we met. Thank you for that, and for the chance to meet the beautiful boy. So sorry for your loss - love from us all xxx

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm also sorry I didn't get to know Jackson better, but I'd heard of him through other bloggers. He looked like a real softie, though a fighter too dealing with all he did. Hugs to you and your family.
