We have decided to adopt our foster, Jack.

Jack came into RAGOM in early January from a loving family, who didn't have the time for him and decided he needed more space to run beyond their townhouse. He has been a great foster, quickly meeting our other dogs. He is calming down and had some excess energy to burn off. Tyson, 14-348 is helping Jack to get plenty of exercise. They are buds when outside. Jack enjoys chewing on toys and bouncing from one couch to the other to get some more attention. He is of the jealous variety, which is typical in the goldens.

We went to the vet and he checked out as very healthy. This is important to us, as we lost our last RAGOM boy, Change 12-021, 3 months ago to kidney failure before he turned 6. We miss him, as does resident dog, Tyson. Jack and Tyson have been good buds this week, playing tug of rope and keep away with all the toys.

Jack will be a RAGOM dog and volunteer for the rest of his life. He will get to help on-board future rescue dogs, so they can know the good life after rescue.

Saturday, March 6, 2021

We lost Jack last Tuesday, 2/23/2021, after 2 years of being sick from a sinus tumor with chronic sinus infections and bronchitis. He got an extra 18 months of life after a major scare with time spent in the ICU recovering from pneumonia.

He lived with us for over 6 years since coming into RAGOM and was a foster brother to many dogs across RAGOM. Jack loved his big brother, Tyson (with the white face), often found close by if not leaning on Tyson.

He loved life at the lake, going on boat rides, golfcart rides, walks in the woods, chewing on sticks, chasing whatever he could, but chipmunks and ducks were his favorite. He was such a happy boy, even when his chronic health issues were a nuisances for him.

Most mornings, he would jump up on mom’s lap for some loving and attention. If he wasn’t getting enough attention, he would give a whine, or paw at my hand, then he would give a kick if his tactics weren’t working. He was so darn cute!

He spent his last 5 weeks of life in Texas, a trip to the Gulf was a highlight to see him in the waves and enjoying walks in the warm days. It was super hard to leave without him and Tyson is still looking for his brother, Jack.

He was such a loveable, goofball, he was loved by so many family and friends. He would have been 9 on Mar 25.

Dan, Jen and Tyson
