It is with great sadness and with a broken heart that I have to tell everyone here on the msg board that Trixie lost her short battle with TCC on august 28th. We were so blessed to have her in our lives for her entire 16 years. Those years have just flown by so fast, it seems like yesterday that I first laid eyes on a gorgeous little jack russell pup and fell hopelessly in love. She was a truly loved member of our family and all the love she received from us she returned ten fold. Her passing [just 4 weeks and one day after diagnosis] has left a huge empty space in our lives that can never be filled. Trix was a one of a kind beautiful soul - as FAR from a typical JRT as you could ever get - she loved everyone [human or 4 legged furry] and loved to sit on the lawn watching our rabbits hopping around, greeting them with a nose-to-nose "Hi" or giving their ears a friendly lick when ever they'd hop up to her to say hello. She [and my husband and myself] were fortunate in that throughout her life, she never suffered any health problems until the last month of her life. For that - we thank God.
My heart aches to hold her just one more time, if only for a brief moment, but in truth if I could hold her from now til the end of my time on earth it wouldn't be long enough. I know one day she and I will be together once more for eternity. I miss her so badly.
Thanks to everyone on this board, not only those who replied to my posts, but to EVERYone without exception, for sharing and caring. May you all find strength and much support from, and FOR each other. God bless x
