Jo Jo

Jojo as a puppy.
Jojo... Aka Mojo Jojo
I know that for some of you this may seem like a ridiculous post.
For those you who love your pets as much as I do, You will totally
understand. In 1998 we had a dog who had a litter of 7 puppies.
We kept one who we named Jojo. His only flaw was that he had
white eyes, which I loved. But dogs with eyes of this color are often
prone to vision and hearing loss. About 2 years ago we noticed that
Jojo was running into things and that he wasn't hearing very well.
We went back and forth on putting him down but decided that
he still had some good years left. My dad had to stop letting him lose
when he was alone because he would run into things and injure himself in
unfamiliar places. On Wednesday he was out running with my dad in
the hills when he run off a 30 foot cliff. My dad was
forced to put him down because he was in so much pain.
My family is not one for mourning our pets for long
but Jojo was an especially good dog and companion.
I will miss him alot and I know that my dad and family
will miss him. At least he can see clearly now.

I started to cry when I read this. I am sure he is in Doggy Heaven. As is a few of my beloved doggie companions. :)
