I'm not much of a poet, but I just wanted to write a little something as a tribute and a thanksgiving to God for giving me such a good friend in Jessie.<br /><br />Joyce, Sue does miss her. She seems to be looking for Jess and just can't seem to be comfortable without her. It's hard when the pup is weaned at 5 years old.<br /><br />JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-37364861141818397512011-01-02T16:49:09.947-07:002011-01-02T16:49:09.947-07:00Ah Jody...I was just thinking 'bout Jessie thi...Ah Jody...I was just thinking 'bout Jessie this morning as I watched through my kitchen window, a neighbor's dog chasing a frisbee.
