Mom here....October 26th 2011 7:23 am[ Leave A Comment | 29 people already have ]
This is an exceedingly sad time and I'm not really sure what to say.
Leave A Comment | 29 people already have Mom and I are soooo sorry to hear about Jarvis, Yes he had a great life. Many, Many FRIENDS. GOD SPEED TO YOU JARVIS. We are so sad here too. That stoopid cancer has taken so many of our friends. Me and Josie send gentle licks to you and your family, and nose taps to Diablo. Petey's mom here....I thought of you and Jarvis all night, and to know how much he was loved and all that you had done for him, he was very lucky to have you all, and we will miss him very much. I know how hard yesterday must have been for you...hugs to your family Amy Yesterday I needed to stop at my local dog store for Nelly's expensive sensitive GI food as we were waaaay low on it. I had forgotten that there would be two lovely dobies to greet me when I went in the store...one black and one brown. Just hugged on the brown one a little longer than usual. And got a little teary. Love to you all, dear Amy. Jarvis touched a lot of hearts and he will be remembered by all of us. Atley and the gang's mom here. We too have been thinking of Jarvis and your family and send you all the love, comfort and support at this difficult time. Jarvis was so greatly loved by your family and others and your love and kindness to him while he crossed over I know was a comfort to him. Please take care. We will all miss him and like Amey and Petey, many hugs to your family. Kim and Kirk You are and always will be the most wonderful family. You gave Jarvis a life that all dogs want. You loved him to the end of the Earth and you loved him so much you wouldn't let him suffer. This really broke our hearts too. I went home last night and told my husband (who is not a Dogster at all) about Jarvis and he was saddened as well. He knew Jarvis' soty because I had shared it with him. He asked how the surgery went and would occasionally ask if I had seen any updates. My husband usually doesn't think twice about Dogster but...Jarvis stole his attention and heart as well. Love to all of you. Sweet Angel Wings are flying high in the beautiful sky today!! This is the first I am learning of your passing... Damn! I hoped you would be here longer! But when you are tired and sick all the time, it is time to go to the Bridge. Thank you to your people for giving you such a good home and every chance to beat this nasty cancer. Gentle licks to them. They will feel sad for a long time, until one day they can think of you and smile. Prof. Chester, sad to lose you Jarvis was a beautiful boy and you gave him a life filled with love, fun, joy and happiness. In the end, you showed him even more love than you ever thought possible. Think of the good times you had, especially at the worst of times right now. You never forget love. It is forever. We were so sad to hear this news. Jarvis was so very lucky to have such wonderful parents and show him the kind of life that all dogs deserve! Making that decision is very hard, we want to think that there is still hope...I also had to make that decision with my lab, Bella, that had cancer and felt better afterwards when the vet explained to me that I was giving my Bella a gift by taking all her pain away from her and you've done the same! Sending lots of hugs your way! Woof Woof, Molly & Mom Jarvis will live on in the hearts and thoughts of your family and his Dogster family forever. In missing Jarvis, remember that you gave him a loving home and great life. Thank you for sharing this difficult final journey with us. Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Run free, like no one's watching! Murphy Even though we hadn't met Jarvis in person, we felt like we knew him and are just so sorry to hear of his passing. Stay strong Amy, even though it feels so difficult now. We had a dobie many years ago, Brittany, that her body was overcome with cancer and was the same way, couldn't get up to go to the bathroom, etc. and we loved on her as much as we could before we unfortunately had to come to the same decision as you. It's a very difficult one that is much harder on those of us left behind than our friend that's departing to the other side. You will miss him tremendously, but know that you will see him again someday. I do beleive that. Destiny, Chance, & Valerie Sorry to hear about Jarvis, I'll be praying for you guys. Thank you for giving Jarvis Davis the best life a big brown dog could ever ask for. We loved being his friend and Stryker will surely show him all the best of the bridge. Sending you much love, hugs and sympathy as you mourn the loss of your best furiend, Jarvis. It's never easy saying goodbye. Cancer sucks big time, but I hope you find comfort in knowing Jarvis is pain free from that awful disease. I'm betting Sheba, Spike and Miracle welcomed Jarvis with open paws when he arrived. Big hugs, Lafayette Little Rascals and mom Ramona The taters were flowing and the pups were eating as much as they could. Ernie George scooped another massive portion for Pongo. Louie had most of the day's food on his face, yet he still couldn't get enough. Dogs from all around had gathered at Turtle Pond to welcome Jarvis. The Brown Menace made quick friends with Sheb'z, Momas and little puppy Lab, Carmella. It was very clear that this gentle, loving soul would fit in nicely with the gang. As the party continued, Jarvis split off from the group, a little overwhelmed by everything. His body was whole . . . healthy, strong. He sat at the edge of Turtle Pond. He watched as Cheyanne and Autumn sped by on the waverunner. In the distance, in deeper water, he saw the merchant ship, The Lady Melanie. It was just as he had imagined it after reading about how Ernie George had won it in a poker game just a month earlier. On the deck of the ship he saw Wyoming, Ben and Cheyenne. Next to The Lady Melanie was the floating doghouse. Behind the controls he saw fellow Doberman, Roman. "May we join you?" Came a voice on his left. He turned and watched Stryker and I make our way towards him. "Beautiful place, isn't it?" Stryker asked. "Yes . . . it's just as I had imagined," Jarvis replied. I sat next to him. "This is a magical place," I added. Jarvis turned and looked at me, his light brown eyebrows rose upwards and at the same time clinched together. His eyes were a deep brown, full of wonder and love. Movement caught his attention and he turned back towards the pond. He leapt to his paws, his excitement bursting from him. Stryker reached out and took hold of his shoulder. His stubby tail danced back and forth. In the reflection of Turtle Pond, Jarvis saw his family. Their sadness was clear, their hearts broken. Little Diablo dashed into view. "From here we can watch over our families," I said to him. My words likely a faint whisper as he watched his Mom intensely. "Our love knows no boundaries, no limits," Stryker said. "Through the distance you can fill their hearts with love and slowly, over time, they will heal." Jarvis pulled his attention away from the reflection and gazed back at Stryker. "It's okay, my friend. It will all be okay." Stryker answered, as though Jarvis had asked a question. Jarvis turned back and watched little Diablo. "Come . . . wonderful adventures await," I said to my new friend. Before Jarvis joined us, he saw deep inside his Mom. He saw the love she had for him. He saw that same love in each family member. He even saw it in Diablo. At that moment he knew that they would be okay, just as he was. No pain, no sadness . . . just love. Just beautiful Cookie. Oh Norm. Just...oh, Norm. How do you always know just what to write to comfort everyone? And thanks, always, for including my sweet Carmella. I like to think of her at the Bridge with all our lovely Dogster pals watching over her. Thanks. Thank you Cookie Oh, My! Cookie, you have such a story telling way...it made the big lump I had, and that of growlmy just melt away. Many big hugs to your furmily, Jarvis. Wow, now you are also immortalized in Cookies tails. Fly, free and with wonderfur wings, Jarvis, Fly free and whole! Run Free, Jarvis Hugs! Love and licks, MJF Because Jarvis was loved by many...he will live forever in our hearts. Godspeed Jarvis. I'm very sorry to learn that Jarvis has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He was and always will be loved by his real family and his extended Dogster family. Marilynn - Coco and Puff's human mom well, I thought that I would be better today until I read Cookies comment, it was beautiful, you are wonderful Norm!! Oh Cookie! THANK YOU FOR SHARING! We are crying again. So beautiful to have the "inside scoop" over Rainbow Bridge. I am sure our Angels Sheltzie & Groucho Marx were so very happy to meet the beautiful Jarvis. **sigh** Wow Cookie and Norm, what a wonderfur story! I think that has us all crying! Thanks for reminding us what a great time all our furs are having at the bridge and they do watch over us! Woof Woof, Molly OMD! We are so sorry for your loss. You gave Jarvis a good life and was with him to the very end. Scarlett welcomed Jarvis to the Bridge. ~ I'm so sorry for the loss of your best friend. Please know that we are thinking about you and your family. I lost my best friend on Dec 20 last year. I am still very sad when I think about her, most of the time I start to cry. Still after 10 months. I got Luna 6 months later and she has been a God send. She has filled a little bit of the hole in my heart. We were so heartbroken to hear that your beautiful Jarvis had made his journey home to the Rainbow Bridge. We know the pain & grief you are going through & only wish we had a magic wand to take away the hurt. Cookie's story of the Bridge is how I picture it & I can see all our Angels playing happy & healthy at the Bridge as they wait for us. And I know we will see our beloved Furkids again! Thinking of you & sending all our love & prayers. KJ, Rain & Mom So sad to hear about sweet Jarvis... So many of us here know this pain you are feeling..No one ever wants to see out sweet babies leave.. Thank you for not only giving Jarvis a wonderful and loving home but thank you for giving him the ultimate gift... Peace. It is the hardest thing we can ever do but it is also the most unselfish act of love we can show them. Our thoughts and prayers to you and your family.. I sure hope Jarvis likes pawtys because they abound up here at TRB and I know there are so many furs anxious to meet him.. A million Hugs to you all Cheyanne & Mom Kim |
