Sadly, Jackson has left us. On December 14, 2003, just before bedtime...Jackson laid down and began to breathe heavily. With his head on his foster mom's lap, he breathed for a few moments, and then made his trip to the Rainbow Bridge.

A couple of weeks ago, just before Thanksgiving, Jackson had his picture taken with Santa Claus. Here's a pic of him "solo"....

And a picture of Jackson with his furkid brothers and sisters....

Jackson spent his last day doing his very favorite thing....meeting new people. He went to Pet Parade, got to show lots of old and new friends his goofy golden grin, and got some great new pictures taken. This, for him, was a perfect day - Jackson loved everyone, all the time, and never met a stranger. Some pictures from his last "photo shoot"....

Jackson's family would like to thank everyone who prayed and sent good thoughts for their sweet "puppy boy" - those are the reason he made it longer than the doctors thought he would. They were blessed to have time with one of the happiest dogs in the world. Remember him with a smile, and please share his story with anyone who is tempted to buy a puppy from a pet store.
