Shelby and Jack Nicholson Dumont

First off I must start off by telling you that I never had children So by dogs were my children. Well lets see that it started many years ago. I started With Stesty then Harrison then Jack. However When My first two got sick and I had to put them down Jack was there for me. I went through a divorce prior lost my job in 2006 I was 44 and had to start over. wow was this hard. But my best friend was with me. Jack had a rare blood disorder. He was there with me when I cried and felt that I needed a friend. So me being mommy I just had to be there.. It just seems like yesterday that every Sunday we would jump in the Jeep and take him out the valley to see the Steer drive out a little farther to see the sheep. Wow he just went nuts. He had the best life. But most of all I wish I could have told him that he gave me the best life. However he was there for me. I got back on my feet and just kept going. He just gave me a reason to live . But then one night November 21, 2008. Life just changed in a instantly. Jack had a stroke and a seizure and the ripe old age of 13. It was time for me to step up to the plate. However I knew that I was about to lost My best friend. The Vet said it was not good. I didn't want him to suffer. It pulled at my heart strings. So I felt this poem was from him to me. I know that I made the right decision Mommy Today I had to say goodbye. I didn't want you to see me the way that you did. However you stepped in when I needed you most. As I was lying their in pain you comfort me, and held my paw and said that you loved me. I heard you tell me to say hello to Stesty and Harrison. For that brief moment, I was excited that I was going to see my brother and sister. But mommy I was so sad when I saw you crying. I didn't want to see you cry. But I know that you didn't want me to be in pain. So I'm glad that you were there when the man in the white Jacket held my paw and you stroked my hair and kissed my head. I knew that in a brief moment it was our last moment that we would be together on earth. But then it was over. I'm now with Stesty and Harrison. Mommy don't cry I'm ok, and I'm running and chasing cows. But I will let you in on a little secret. I'm still in your heart, and you are in mine. I will see you again. So be strong and keep thinking of me. Well I have to run and play with my brother and sister. They are waiting for me. Mommy I love you and think of me often. For I will be thinking of you. Your Son Jack Ps Son I miss you
