Please meet Jemma, a gorgeous golden retriever with a fluffy tail and a sassy wiggle walk.
Jemma was my guide dog #3. I trained my first 2 myself, and Jemma and Nugget are both from Leader Dogs for the Blind.
She got a cancer diagnosis in mid-January 2022. Then 2 weeks after the horrible news, she woke up blind in 1 eye after a nap, and that completely undid her. She died about 5 weeks after diagnosis, on Feb 20,, her 8th birthday.
Jemma was the "fluff monster" with so much hair to brush daily. She brought much joy to everyone.
I miss her still, even though Nugget is just wonderful.
All of our fur babies are special. Some fur babies are especially special.
The first pic shows off her smile and fluff. The second was her best day EVER when she got to go BACK to the Star Wheel Ferris Wheel in Branson. The third is the pillow I made for Mom commemorating that day.
If you want to share your beloved furs, living or gone, you can see how here #🐈🐕🦺🦮 Show off your fur babies! - but it's just basically make a post in the FUR category and I'll pin it to the page where it goes.
