One man on one island.

Good bye Jessie…

Comments

My dog left us today, born 1988 she lived a long and happy life of sixteen years. Her death was not unexpected at such an old age for a dog; she passed away quietly this morning at my grand parents house this morning where she lived a free life in the country jumping with kangaroo’s and exploring endless scents.

Jessie was a birthday gift for me, and she has been a true mate of mine since the first day we met.

Maybe I wasn’t quite ready for the responsibility of a dog of my own, but you couldn’t deny that as both of us grew we learnt a lot from each other. My family treated Jessie as more of a family member then as of a dog, maybe that’s why she thought she could get away with so much mischief.
In the city of Yeppoon we spent the early years together having fun and mucking about. She loved the beach and sprinting next to the waves and to skitch the seagulls.

You could say Jessie was my only running partner. I used to race her in sprints to train for my high school competitions. She’d let me think I was winning to a point before sprinting ahead, probably because she hated to loose.

Even though she was a dog we communicated on many levels and had an understanding. I couldn’t help but think some times that Jessie had walked on this Earth before. She helped me explore the bush land of my grand parents and hunt wild animals. She was there when I was unhappy and made me glad. And she always had a special greeting in the morning to wake me up with a ‘helrooo’ growl as she ran around madly waiting for me to get up. There are so many good things to say about Jessie….

Her life was not without peril though; many many times she had her life almost taken away from her. Killer viruses, mauled by other dogs twice, being thrown out of speeding utes and other incidents, there is no doubt that she is the toughest of the tough to live through it all without affecting her sense of adventure.

Not to forget about the many ‘naughty’ things about her, like how one Christmas she jumped up on the dinner table when everyone was outside to see what exactly was going. There is no doubt she tried to be a part of the family as best she can and we love her so much.

I miss Jessie very much, my only regret is not being with her at the end. Every life ends eventually and I am glad that she passed away quickly. Good bye my puppy dog, you’re spirit may be gone but you will not be forgotten.
