Welcome to Jenny's Rainbow Residency

Memories of Jenny

Jenny, we fell in love with you the minute we saw you! One perfect little Chihuahua dog; you were a bit thin, and very shy. I knew at once you were meant to be ours. But we had no idea of all the love and joy you could bring. One little 5 lb. dog. You followed Mommy Louise everywhere. You were afraid to come upstairs. You thought you were being given away. Finally after almost 5 years you decided to love me too. Now the house is so empty. The clothes basket is empty. You chose that as your bed after it became too difficult to climb up to your Mommy's bed. We celebrated your birthday February 1st. we never knew your real birthday. You came from a puppy mill in Missouri in 2002 where you had spent the first 5-6 yrs. of your life as a breeding dog. You never lived in a home before. You had never worn a collar/leash or had toys. You had to learn from scratch. And learn you did, You became the happiest little dog I've ever seen. Now without you, all the joy has gone out of our lives. That awful morning when your little heart gave out will be etched in my memory forever. We knew your heart was bad. You already had a couple of close calls. We thought we could rush you to the hospital again & save you. People say it was the way you wanted it. To die at home and not in the hospital. That's all I can say right now, Jenny. We will never stop missing you or stop loving you. We will see you again someday at the Bridge. We will come back here again and talk to you. April 1, 2009 Two months ago we wer celebrating your birthday. We had some fun having an all pink day; strawberry ice cream with strawberries, & whip cream, and strawberry flavoroed sugar wafers. we let you have a little of each, and we took a couple of pictures. They were not your best. Your belly looked very big. But Dr. Sean had said he wasn't too worried about fluid in the belly, moreso if you began to cough. THEN we should rush up to him as that would mean the fluid was in your lungs and would affect your breathin. So we didn't rush to take you there. I kept giving you the new pill he had added, but I didn't see any difference. We waited for coughing. It didn't happen. We should not have waited. I am sorry Jenny. Your little sweaters were all tight. The pills were not working. we should have gone then and I am so sorry. before the week was out - you left us! 4/7 will be 2mos. As your visitors can see I gave you a SOCK. You loved your SOCK BABIES. If we were missing any socks we knew where to find them! In Jen Jen's beds or being carried around in her mouth! As a breeding puppy mill girl you had known lots of babies in your 5 yrs. and i know you must have been a good mommy. You took good care of your SOCK BABIES. You never chewed them up. You just took them to bed and hid them. Sometimes Angie stole them and SHE chewed them up. sometimes your Mom took them and put them in the wash. Then she returned them to you. She was always buying new ones to take the place of the ones you took over. So Everyone, that's why Jenny has a SOCK on her page. Probably she is reunited now with some oh her own REAL Chi babies. I am so happy for her. Take care our beloved Jenny. 4/8/09 It is now 2 mos. Jen, but the days that hurt the most are Saturdays. I think of you every Saturday. It was a Saturday morning that you left us. this coming Saturday a little doggie is coming to see us. But you know that. I think you have it all arranged. Maybe Peanut Kandy helped some too. We were looking for a little girl, like you. Maybe you didn't want someone else wearing your favorite pink aweater. I feel so sad when I see it there, I hope Casper stays and I hope he likes to dress up like you did. I don't expect him to be just like you, but I hope he has a few of your cute ways; like twirling the Chi dance for dinner. He will have his own cute ways. This will be a long week waiting for Saturday to come. watch over all of us Angel Jenny. I miss you. Saturday, June 6th. Tomorrow will be 4 months without you Jenny. Well, my clever little girl you knew Casper was not the one for us. He belonged with Leah. I am glad she took him home. Now we have our little girl! Thank you Jenny. I knew the day I took the cards down you wanted me to let you go. It was so hard realizing it was really over. I stacked them in a pile, yours and Peanuts & put them next to your ashes, Yours & Peanuts. And I cried. I cried tears of letting go. Peace. I had almost given up looking at Petfinder, No more applications. I just can't do one more. Then I saw Aaliyah. Maybe some day we will find another Jenny. Maybe not now. So let's go look at Aaliyah. Connie took us, just as she took us to meet you. Black Magic! Full of energy! Liked her belly rubbed, like you! Funny, take me, take me look! "you can have her if you bring your other dogs here to test their compatibility." We looked at Connie. Louise could not drive to Methuen. "Sure, What time Saturday?" Come Saturday morning, Angie, Paco, and the 3 of us took off. They met. Sniffed. Walked around, and then went off leash in a pen. They were so good. You would have been proud of them, Jen. So it was sealed. Papers were signed. We all piled into Connie's brand new car and came home. Aaliyah. We went to chuch and gave thanks. Someone told us her name means "Ascending." It was the first Sunday of Pentecost! You were right Jen. She is making us smile. She does the Chi dance, & walks on her belly. She adores me. and she need us. like we needed her! Thank Jenny. We love you so much! I know you are smiling down on us. We will always love you. Tomorrow, 6/7 Four months. We will miss you forever. 8/7/09 - Six mos. ago today our hearts were torn into little pieces. Our world was turned upside down. Our arms were empty. Your bed was empty. Your little socks lie lifeless on the floor. grief surrounded us. A week or so later your ashes came home. We placed them on the desk with Peanut Kandy's. A quiet sadness filled the air. Deep sighs, signaled - this is it. "She is home." we wondered if Shawsheen would send the paw print, as they had for PK. A couple of wks. later the manilla envelope arrived; kind note & paw print. It took me awhile to choose a picture. we have so many, but we finally did. Now it hangs in the hallway with your paw print. "It is finished." You are honored. In the room opposite sleeps a little black chi-pom dog. Aaliyah. She desires so much love. Kisses galore. she's doing better now Jenny. Please whisper in her ear & tell her not to chew things, especially electrical cords!!!! She is 7 yrs. old but we've had to puppy proof the house! Thanks for leading us to her. :). We will always love you Jenny, Jenny-wren, Piggy Wiggy! 12/9/09 It's almost Christmas, Jenny. Auntie does not have much Christmas spirit as yet. It has been a hard year. There have been a lot of changes. The only good change has been adopting Aaliyah. She doesn't fight with Angie anymore. She is very sweet now. I let her wear a couple of your sweaters. Somehow they looked better on you. Your pink party one is still in your suitcase. I just can't put it on her. Maybe someday. 2/6/10 Tomorrow will be one whole year since you were here with us. We still miss you Jenny. Aaliyah is my very own little Chi dog. One night when you were being so cute, dancing up & down, I said to Louise, "Oh, I want one of my own!" I guess you remembered! But you will always be here in our hearts. Your picture and paw print are on the hall wall where we see them every day. Your page on DogChannel.com is still very active & your friends visit you often. Happy Valentines Day, too! Please also visit Casey, Gypsy Magic and Peanut Kandy.
