@ariellehoulihan Jackson died this morning at our home and as much as we expected it, watching two little girls lose their dog is Guantanamo Bay level torture. We have spent the last 14 years coming home to the most perfect golden retriever who was full of love for anyone we ever met. I’m so glad I made an irresponsible college decision to get a dog. Don’t take my advice but… I’d do it all again.
