Reese and Morgan, her best friend, were inseparable. The two senior rescues ate, dozed, and cuddled together as frequently as they could.
However, when 12-year-old Morgan lost away from kidney disease, life for the close-knit duo changed, and Reese’s grief had an impact.
The Dodo quoted Amy Thatcher, Reese’s mother, as saying, “I baked her special doggie cupcakes and slept on a mattress on my living room floor for a bit so she could sleep with me.”
For a few days, I even picked up some foster puppies because Reese adores them. Nothing seemed to be working.
Reese’s condition rapidly deteriorated. She stopped eating and spent the majority of her days trembling in bed.
Thatcher made the decision to locate Reese another friend to help the grieving canine fill the emptiness left by losing Morgan because nothing appeared to lessen her suffering.
Jeep’s attractive face drew my attention as I scrolled through the available pets, Thatcher remarked. I had only ever adopted senior dogs before Jeep.
I decided to adopt a younger dog because Reese didn’t handle Morgan’s death well, and I didn’t want to risk making her go through another loss.
When Thatcher first met Jeep, he fell head over heels for him. She was confident that Reese would adore him despite the fact that he wasn’t exactly like Morgan.
When Thatcher adopted Jeep and showed him to Reese, she fell in love with him as well. Her heart started to heal gradually but surely, and now the two are inseparable.
Thatcher remarked, “Jeep has brought out this young, playful side of Reese. She still wants to play with her “little brother” even though she will be 14 in a month. She dislikes when he is away from home and is always happy to see him.
The story of Morgan, Reese, and Jeep may be seen here:
Jeep reassures Reese that everything will be fine, something Thatcher also believes. Nevertheless, Reese will always mourn Morgan.
Thatcher remarked, “Morgan improved my life simply by being herself, and I’ll never forget her.”
But when my heart was broken, just like Reese’s, Jeep entered my life. I don’t know how we would have survived without him, but he helped us get through a difficult time.
