QuoteJust a little note since we have been quiet .I been a trooper like always but know my time is getting near. My other dad is a truck driver and is out on the road trying to get here to see me one last time before i go. But I am not sure I will make it.In the mean time dad is doing everything possible to make me comfortable but I am not sure how long i can hold on.
Jersey May
Don't think that we have forgotten everybody. I do read whats going on and think what Chloe's mom is doing is great. It is hard for me to write since it is getting time for me to decide when to rest her(all I do is cry while typing). I dont sleep much as you can see i am writing this at 3;20 am. It may be this week but I am hoping for at least the next week
.
Will keep you informed
hugs to all

It is so heartbreaking to let go of someone you love. We lost our other dog Bonnie to lymphoma many years ago and she was the first dog I ever grew up with and the first family member that had passed. It was my first confrontation with the finality of life, but at least I was old enough to realize that she was no longer in pain (got pretty bad in the end…). When that time came to let her go, we just knew. You don't have to like it, you will probably cry, but the Tripawd Community is here to help you through it 100%. We all love you Jersey May and we will all miss you.
I love this quote and I would like to share it with you. You can interpret it in any way that suites you:
It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known. -Charles Dickens (A Tale of Two Cities)

OfflineJersey May, you've been a strong, strong girl. Hope your dad makes it home before you have to leave.
Jon, my heart is saddened for you. What a wrenching time – the indecision, the hoping, the waiting. That said, your love for Jersey May will tell you when it's time. I believe that.
My thoughts are with you and your sweet Jersey May.
Hugs.

Oh Jon- I'm so saddened to hear about Jersey May. This is so incredibly heartbreaking. 
I really hope Jersey May's other Dad is able to make it in time to be there. You are doing everything possible for your sweet baby and most important, surrounding her with lots of love. She couldn't have had 2 better Dads. My heart goes out to you. Sending you lots of golden hugs.

I so wish Jersey May's journey had been longer. I so love her name. She's a beauty. Tons of good thoughts coming your way. I know this is a difficult time for you, and maybe even moreso for her other dad – it has to be difficult to not be there with her. We are all here for you and I am sure we all wish things could be different for you guys. Hugs to you, Jersey May, and other dad.

I'm so sorry to hear about your difficult time and that part of your family is away. Hopefully you can both be there to help Jersey May through this journey. She knows how much you both love her, and she will let you know when she's ready. Even though it's the greatest act of love, saying goodbye is always so hard. Even though you're sad and worried, try to enjoy every moment with her. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Hugs,
Lisa (Sadie's mom)
