Oh Jack !!

Oh Jack,

We have the saddest of news, Jack one of our waggy tailed friends at our favourite farm Woodstock, passed away yesterday and we both feel very sad.

He was such a lovely dog and we know he will be missed.

We are down on the farm this weekend we have been planning our trip down, and had dropped Helen a message a couple of days ago without her usual instant response.

Today I logged on and there was an e-mail from Helen, telling us of their sad loss.

Jack, was the son of Wally (professional sheepdog extraordinaire) and Kimba (the Matriarch), and big brother of Trixie and Tiny.

He was a great dog with a lovely nature and we are sad that we were not able to give him one last fuss.

We hope that Jack is chasing the sheep in doggy heaven.

Rest in Peace Jack

You will be missed.

So sorry about Jack. Was he old? Or an accident. It's always tough to lose a 'friend' like that. Take Care

RIP Jack.
Sorry to hear about Jack. I read a lot regarding those dogs! :). Just another quick message, still reading and have decided to go to Australia next year for two months June-August before I start university. Gonna start saving as soon as I start this care worker job!!! Just hope I can save enough, as I cannot wait 4 years to go. Btw, it was my birthday on the 6th may :D.....and have you been reading about the elections?? Cameron and Clegg are in!!!

Elections
Hi Stacy, good luck with the saving, I am sure you will do it, if you want something bad enough then it is quite inspirational. Happy Birthday for 6th May, I just got my birthday cards after they have been halfway round the world, then halfway round Australia and back again! Yes... have been reading about the elections, caught up on all of that... !! Good luck with the job KJ

Jack
Hi Gary, sorry for delayed response. Sadly Helen and Robert think that Jack may have eaten some fox bait when he went onto a neighbouring property. It is very difficult to keep the farm dogs away from that kind of danger. Robert had no idea what Jack had done, then Jack had a drink which seems to have activated the poison and then he started fitting, Robert did his best to resuscitate Jack, but there was nothing he could do. Jack was only a fairly young dog, I thought only about 3 years but Helen said he was a bit older. We went to Woodstock last weekend and we both really missed Jack. KJ
