Yesterday, my lovely husband put some of Jessie's ashes in this locket for me -
Thank you to Sarah aka Dirtychicken for letting me know where Sophie got Hugo's from.
It's only now, I feel able to write a little tribute to my special chocolate girl. We lost her back in August and there isn't a day that goes by without me missing her.....
Jessie,
When I picked you up at eight weeks old, you had a pink, bald belly and smelt of puppy....You were adorable and remained that way in my eyes until you took your last breath, in my arms in August last year.
You gave me so many happy memories, laughs and I cried a lot over you too, but I wouldn't have changed our 13 years together in any way, shape or form.
When you were diagnosed with Mast Cell Tumours at the age of 5, I was devastated, I thought my years were coming to an end but you were so brave You pulled through numerous operations and treatment up at The Animal Health trust. I took time off work to nurse you back to health and you were a cheeky monkey. Mummy slept on a cushion on the floor next to you but you managed to jump on my bed during the night so you were a lot smarter than me.
We had a few 'scares' after that but thank god, they all turned out to be fatty lumps....
It's my true belief that you waited for Richard to come in to my life before leaving me as you knew he would care for me and hold me whilst I cried because you had gone. Richard didn't really care that much for dogs before he met you, special girl, but in the two years he knew you, you won him over and he adored you (almost) as much as me.
The day you left us last year was the saddest, hardest day of my life but it was time, you were tired and achey and were very poorly. We made the right decision
On your birthday this year, I will still cook the steak I used to cook every year but this year I will give it to Porscha. Porscha is the other special girl that I believe you sent to us. I joined this site to be around people that would understand my grief and it's on this site that I found PP
For now beautiful girl, stay happy, warm and I will see you one day. I love you xxxxxxxx
Sorry edited for spelling mistakes (my eyes appeared to be leaking making it difficult for me to see)

What lovely words. Big Hugs for you, it sometimes takes a long time to be able to remember without all the air being sucked out of your lungs. I hope that for you and Richard PP is helping the healing process.
Never forgotten and never replaced just waiting to meet you again.
xx
A beautiful tribute to a beautiful girl Jo, I`m glad you felt able to post the tribute to her now, I`m sure Jessie is up there watching over you, Richard and PP, and very happy that you have given her a much needed home
