Jello: On 28 July 2023, I assisted our sweet 18-year-old Cocker Spaniel Jello across the bridge. Despite all our efforts, Jello’s quality of life dropped precipitously over the last week in July. Jello was miserable all the time and we realized that it was time to let him go. Jello had joined the Leashes End family in mid-May 2023. As is so often the case, Jello was privately rehomed by a family that could no longer care for him. In addition to Cushing’s and mobility issues, Jello had a bum eye and lots of lumps & bumps. Jello was such a good sport and always enjoyed forays into the front yard. On a rare occasion, he would even join the Leashes End choir for a bit of a howl-at-the-joggers concert! But mostly Jello enjoyed napping on the cool tiles of the kitchen, where he had carved out his own corner, during the day, and on a special cool pad on Risa’s bed at night, where he would revel in ear and neck scritches. Jello was surrounded by love to the very end and we will miss him dearly. Run free, Jello. May your memory be a blessing.
