Jeter Loved The Fall

Young Jeter and Porkus, also at Rainbow Bridge
Jeter loved the fall. His gravesite is getting settled and grass is starting to grow on it. The rose bushes I planted on both sides are doing well and in the spring it should be very pretty.
I miss my Jeter but the pain has lessened. I have accepted his absence on a daily basis. I remember him playing and being frisky because of the cool weather.
His presence is still sorely missed when I am with the other dogs. It is so pronounced because he was the only black lab among the other three. He stood out like a sore thumb.
When I take the dogs to the pond, I imagine him there...he would be hunting minnows and trying to swim and avoid Boomer as much as possible. I miss his little smile which was constant.
The pain is fading but my missing him isn't. I will always miss my "little tar baby." What I wouldn't give to have one more day to spend with him...spoiling him and just enjoying life together.
