โจJACKSONโจ
I AM SO VERY HEARTBROKEN TO SHARE ... THAT OUR PRECIOUS MAGICAL JACKSON HAS DIED. ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
ACTION JACKSON. ๐
After a 6 month battle with an aggressive oral melanoma cancer.
One of the most most BEAUTIFUL, special, UNIQUE โจDOGSโจ of any breed, that I have EVER seen in my entire LIFE.
There will never be another like him.
Rescued from China, off a truck heading to a Dog Meat Slaughterhouse... JACKSON became a SYMBOL for my China Pug Rescue Mission.
WE were one of the very first rescues ever, not just pug, but any DOG RESCUES in the entire world, to ever step up to save dogs from China.
And JACKSON .. that beautiful face. He became a symbol of The Pug Queen Foundation's world wide work.
Everyone wanted him, everyone wanted to meet him. And he loved it all, he loved YOU ALL. And many of you got to meet him.
I have so many photos and stories and memories to share, allow me to do that. I just need a moment. His story is so important. So special.
From the moment I saw him in the cage bound for the slaughterhouse & I asked my Chinese colleague to GO BACK AND GET HIM.
For the last 6 months I have intensively cared for, and watched slowly die ๐ญ๐ญ both my Soulmate pug GRACIE, and Jackson. Grace, from liver cancer. Jackson from oral melanoma cancer. I have not slept in months tending to them both in my bedroom day and night.
I asked God that they not die at the same time. Jackson outlived Gracie by 1 month, and 1 day. It makes no difference it seems.
Losing Gracie killed me.
And now Jackson.
I am not sure what is left of me. Or what will become of me, from here on.
All I ask is that you light a candle for Jackson .. and Grace .. and say a prayer for me. I have had more pug loss pain than any human should ever bear.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR YEARS OF SUPPORT FOR THIS RESCUE .. for the pugs we have saved from all over the world.
They all matter.
Pugs are pugs.
And pugs are LOVE.
REST IN PEACE MY MAGICAL BABY BOY JACKSON.
I loved you at hello in that cage. ๐
