We lost a beloved member of the family this weekend; my sister and brother in law's dog Jackson died on Saturday. He was thirteen years old.

He was the coolest chocolate labrador. He enjoyed scooby snacks, his own couch and the love of his family.

I remember when Jackson was a puppy and would jump to the top of the fridge where the scooby snacks were kept. I had never seen such a large lab before and he was a bit intimidating when running full speed at you for the first time.

He was a great dog - and will be missed greatly. He now gets to play with Alex (our family dog growing up), Otto and Custer (Debbie and Greg's dogs).
