“Dear JoAnn and Kenny, by now I know you know that Joey has gone over Rainbow Bridge and is happily playing with Fletcher and many others. When I first agreed to bring Joe to stay with me and Fletcher, I wasn’t sure how it would work out. But Fletcher allowed him to share his mom and they became ‘buds’. I watched him closely and reminded everyone not to “put their hands down”. But a month led to two to three and a year. Then another, etc. It’s been nine years now. Last year we had to say ‘goodbye’ to Fletcher which was so hard (I had had him for 14 years). But Joe was there with me, and we got through it together. He was a creature of habit. Loved his treats. Wanted to sit with me no matter where I sat. Liked strange people treats, potato chips, popcorn, gummy bears and Twizzlers. Ask him if he wanted ice cream and he would beat you to the freezer. Take the lid off the little containers and put the cup on the floor. He would pick it up with his teeth and carry it to the living room to lick it to the end. He would take his evening snooze. Get up about 9 come out and jump on the recliner till it was time for bed. I’d say ‘ready for bed? ‘ and he would be on the pillow next to me. He could be the most loveable about 95% of the time. But age catches up to all of us and sometimes things that bothered us when we were young come back to haunt us when we grow older. His vet and I discussed the situations, and he told me that his problems could only get worse. So, I did not want to be his albatross. I wanted him to be happy and unfortunate for me Rainbow Bridge was best. I want to thank you for the 9 yrs he was my buddy. I’m sorry it couldn’t be longer but all in all he had a packed 15 yrs. I’ll miss him for a long time and there will never be another like him.
Dear Sue,
There are not enough words to express our deepest sympathy in the loss of your little man, Joey.
Thank you for the nine years of unconditional love and a wonderful loving forever home “For Real, Forever!”
I remember the day Kenny rescued, Joey from PBCACC. It was the same day we picked up Bennie the Biter who was hit by a car and scheduled for euthanasia on July 27, 2016.
Bennie & Joey both had a rough start in life.
Once again, thank you for providing Joey everything that he so deserved. You and Kenny were truly his “Rescue Angels”
Until you meet again, always in your heart, thoughts, and fond memories … “Just Look Up”
