Ebony Jones

Our dear dog Ebony died three weeks ago on March 27. She was ~13 years old and her health had been declining since August and took a significant downward turn in January. With lots of vet visits, medication, and a seizure it was a new experience walking through this stage of having a pup. I'm thankful that part is over and that Mr. Fleece and I were both able to be with her at the end. I miss her sweet face, soft ears, and Ebony's uncanny ability to snuggle into the tiniest of spots. My first and only dog -- she was a forever puppy and extraordinarily wonderful! 

Things I'll always remember:
- First meeting Ebony in the parking lot by our duplexes when we fostered her from a friend of a friend
- Lots of dog-friendly work days, PNW hikes, and dog parks
- Giving her baths from the hose in our parking spot at the duplexes
- Getting her to swim at Lake Union, thanks to a duck 
- Her love for food, treats, and crumbs
- Her distaste for skateboarders and rain
- Mr. Fleece trimming her nails with the dremel
- Watching her run in snow
- All the walks -- I learned every street and back alley of Lower Queen Anne.
- How great she was with our children!

Thanks to our many friends who watched her for us these past 10 years: Laura and Kyle, Sophie and Zach, Hannah and Burton, Lilyanna and Morrie, Caroline and Sam, Josh and Meagan, Peggy and Brian. We never once needed to board her -- she had a large fan base :) 



I'm so glad she was ours!

Cheers to all the couch curl-ups,

- SJW
