For me and for my sister Ruby it was a day of joy. You see my Boston Terrier sister Ruby was born and raised in a puppy mill. She was there for eight terrible years. Then she came to live with us at my house. It was the most wonderful five years ever for Ruby and my family.
When dogs are raised in a puppy mill like Ruby or come from an abusive situation like Jessie they love their families more than I can even tell you. It is a deep love and gratitude that comes from their heart. Whether the time with their family is long or short it is like a dream come true. Such was the case for our dear friend Jessie Jane.
Last year Mama and Carol made a long trip to the southern part of Michigan with Sadie. Sadie was Jessie’s sister for all of her life. Carol wanted to adopt Jessie to be her own forever dog. So off Mama and Carol went on a road trip.
Jessie was 3 years old she had been abused all of her life. When Carol and Sadie met Jessie it was just the best day ever. Jessie was a Midwest Boston Terrier Rescue foster dog. That very day Carol adopted her for her own dog.
For the whole year they had the most wonderful life. Just the three of them, a family forever—this spring Jessie got sick. She had leukemia. Carol and Sadie took care of her and did the best they could. Dr. Scott helped her too.
Last night Jessie came to live with us across the rainbow bridge. Ruby helped her cross, I helped too. There is always someone to be the helper, we make sure of that up here. Crossing can be confusing. But for Jessie she was brave, she had endured so much in her earth life before Carol loved her she knew nothing could be worse. So bravely she came to us.
We danced the Boston Stomp as soon as Jessie arrived; it was a dance of joy. When I looked down on my earth I could see the river of tears for so many people loved Jessie. I hope they know that she is safe and loved now, for I will watch over her for all of time.
And my friend Jessie Jane, she will look with me and she will watch because from here we can see a far, far ways…
Hugs, Riley
