Murdock ‘Sh Ch Laurelhach Just Jitterbug JW’ 03.05.2007 - 09.07.2017
In shock, no words can describe the feeling, just tears and broken hearts.
Goodbye to our once in a lifetime boy, our 'fella'.
We loved you more than life itself and always will.
Without you we wouldn’t have our wonderful girls and we know how proud you were of them.
We’re so glad you got to meet your new grandchildren, as you so loved puppies, our gentle giant.
This is not news I was expecting to have to give, but we couldn’t let you suffer, we owed you your peace and couldn’t have you in pain.
