Many a sore heart has been soothed by Jed's soft nose in their hand, encouraging you to pat him and allow him to lessen your load. His was a full but too short life. We don't know how we are getting through the day without you, marking the day as the sun moved across the deck. Waiting at the back door at home time. They are big paws 🐾 to fill dear Jeddy. ❤️‍🩹💔🐕💙

Sadly, there will be no pathology at Mountain Medicine Wednesday the 2nd April as they are short staffed. No DHM collector tomorrow.
