I had only just joined the forum a couple of weeks before Jethro's passing,and in the short time I had been here, I too was touched by his story and was devestated to hear the news.

It is so hard to believe it has been a year.....the memory of that day is fresh and clear in my mind as well. Iris was so right - I have never seen a puppy touch as many hearts...and he did. He had the most endearing quality that you couldn't help but love him at first sight...whether in person, or a picture.
I was blessed to snuggle him, and will continue to smile daily as I look at his picture in my kitchen....but today brings tears.... and the dream of what could have been.
Andrea, you gave him a mommy's love, the love that stays in your heart until you meet him again...... pure joy as you hear his nyark when you are approaching....But until then, your work will continue, you will honor his name, and give that mommy's love to many more in need. You were blessed to have him, but he was also blessed to have you.

We all loved him, and he broke our hearts....but he will never leave them :hearts::hearts::hearts::hearts:
Several reminders today - 41st aniversary of landing on the moon. And Jethro's last day. I still have trouble reading his story on the Sanctuary - it killed me when I was building that page.
My dumb old sister got to hold him & got me to dontate for his surgery costs. I wish I could have held him, too.

He has got to be the cutest little guy ever. His time certainly wasn't long enough, but I'm so glad his memory lives on in such a great way. RIP baby boy.

There really should be a National Jethro Day. He gave joy to all who met him and left a Jethro size whole in our hearts when he past. I really wish I could have held him and heard him nyark. I just put his Jethro mouse pad on my desk at work so I can smile at him all day. His charisma is just overwhelming.Andrea because of your love for Jethro there is now a wonderful sanctuary for all those wayward souls needing a big dose of love. He was here for a reason(just wish he didn't have to leave). Thank you for loving him as no one else could. :gphug::symp1:
