mj14, you know you have my heart with this, an animal lover, and "owned" by a pet, my Molly girl. I wish there was some words of comfort here, but know that Jesse will always be with you as long as he stays in your heart and soul.
And also know he had a great mom (you) in his life here on earth, I hope it is true that we shall meet our loved ones and pets in the "next" world

Love,
DE
