Jersey was our very special "Pretty Lady". we brought Jersey into our home when she was just 8 wks old. She was a great companion to us and to her "brother" Bear & "sister" Winnie. A typical Chessie, Jersey was very smart, very stubborn and very loyal. she loved to give kisses, play outside, and go for a swim. For 11 years she brought so much joy to her family. Right after her 11th birthday (3 days after) she passed away from bloat. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. One minute she was fine, the next she was dying. That has to be the hardest thing sweet Jersey, knowing that you could still be here; that you were not sick. I will love you forever. You will always be my Pretty Lady.

Not a day goes by that I do not think about you and miss you and wish you were here. I know you are looking out for all of us now. We love you more than words can ever say.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Bear & Winnie XXXOOO
