Well Jersey[Image Can Not Be Found] May is no longer in pain. 8:30am 9/16/2010 she was freed from the awful beast in her body, She was in our arms at home while she went to sleep whith us and her brothe Mr. Red with her. I know it was the right thing to do and the right time but boy does it hurt. She was such a trooper her whole life and overcame everything . She finally meet one she couldn't beat but she gave that cancer a hell of a try. It may have been the hardest thing for me to do. I spent her final hours trying to console her but in reality she was consoling me , letting me know its ok. I know time will help but God it hurts. My life will never be the same. She was truely a blessing and an inspiration to my life.
I cant write anymore I am crying too much. Just wanted you all to know since you have been so kind to us.

Hugs to you Jon,
I'm crying too for you and your loss of Jersey May. My thoughts are with you in the coming days so you can heal. Like you said, Jersey May is no longer in pain.
Hugs,

Maggie lost her battle with kidney disease on 8-24-13
I'm in tears too. It is the hardest thing to do, but it's also the most selfless thing we can do for our fur babies. Jersey May is no longer in pain, and she knows how much her 2 dads loved her.
I told Skyler to go find her, and show her around. Sending lots of hugs!

So sorry, Jon, so very sorry. I was thinking of you and Jersey May yesterday. You're in such pain right now but, and, man, words seem trite, but you'll find the strength to embrace the memories of blessings she shared with you. Your life will be different; but it will still be better for having known her.
Sending many, many hugs.

It's so hard, but you had the strength to do the most selfless thing possible. Not only is Jersey May an inspiration, but you are too. You had the strength to carry through with the impossible task of giving her relief. Her love for you continues.
Sending you, Jersey May's other Dad, and Mr. Red all the strength I have.

Love Never Ends
Jon thank you for loving her enough to let her go. True courage comes when we do what is best for others though it rips us apart. Thoughts and love go out to you.
Jon, we are deeply sorry.
This is one of the hardest things to do, and one of the greatest gifts at the same time. Jersey May is out of pain, and her spirit is soaring through the universe. Her physical body may be gone but your bond will never, ever be broken.
You're so right right, our lives are never the same, because of the gifts these beautiful dogs leave with us. Learning to face adversity with a wag and a smile, living with forgiveness in our hearts and always seeing the best in people are just some of them.
The Tripawds community wraps its collective arms around you today, and always. We are here if you want to talk OK?
