Our regular Selfies are postponed since we lost a very special blogging friend yesterday. Jackie from Two Devon Cats has left us.
Jackie Avery ~ brave and courageous, creative and funny, loving and loved. So very much loved by so very many. A cat blogging legend for twenty years ~ yes, twenty years! Jackie began telling us of the adventures of Eric and Flynn in 2006 as they roamed the fields of Allern Farm, climbing trees, chasing field mice, digging holes, wandering far and wide, and even wearing their own tiny, little cameras to shoot their own videos! Sleeping in flower pots or hay stacks in the barn, but always returning home to snuggle in Daddy Ivor’s lap at night, or curling up with Mom. Jackie shared their lives even after they crossed the bridge, taking us back in time, letting us all relive those “adventures”.
Adventures are not always good ones in life, and some years ago, cancer came for our dear Jackie. But she attacked it fiercely and won that battle. When it made a return visit not long ago, she fought again. Week in and out, over and over. Many of you stood with her in this fight. It was not won, as hard as she tried, as much as she fought and all she suffered through these past months of treatments, we have sadly lost our beloved friend Jackie.
Our hearts hurt for her husband Ivor, their lifetime together. Our hearts hurt for their many close and dear friends in the United Kingdom and throughout the community of pet blogging. Jackie was a dear, kind and warm soul ~ loving and so loved. She will be missed, she will be remembered.
Note: If you would like to send a sympathy/condolence card or note you can email ann @ zoolatry for the address.
