Some of you may have read on Mrs. Sunshine's thread that our beloved dog Catch has been very ill. It's with great sadness that I have to share that Catch is in too much pain to go on and we need to let him move gently over the rainbow bridge today.

Catch has been a part if our family before there was a family. He was born on Super Bowl Sunday 2007. Mr. Jacks brought him home to me on a plane from California when Catch was just a 15 lb fuzz ball. He grew to become a 130 lb gorgeous dog, who tolerated the indignity of wearing flowers at our wedding, the delightful addition of two beautiful and high energy girls to our family, and matured into the protector and soul of the Jacks family.

He's had an amazing life and was beloved by all who met him. I think I've eaten pounds of Catch hair in the short seven and a half years he's been with us. He's the only dog I know who would allow kids to ride him around the house and pull on his tongue.

Catch we love you and want you to be in a peaceful place...
But the hole you leave behind in this family will never be filled.
