This is our second attempt - I missed a no video rule - sorry!
Our property has a ton of community cats coming and going over the years, all TNRd of course, but some stick around due to the gentle and nurturing energy of our eldest pit bull Jewels. Cats Torque and Racket were always ritually following our girl, rubbing up against her and simply just thrilled to be around her. One might say -obsessed. A former neglected chained breeding dog, Jewels loved everyone, and everyone loved her. She was an amazing mom to everyone who needed her even after being spayed, taking on the maternal role to every foster we would take in. Dogs and cats that were not fans of others were touched and transformed by her gentleness. Such a determined, funny, and loving angel she was. Momma Jewels went to rest permanently this past December at the age of 15. We are still feeling the loss of her silly, most loving presence immensely. Thank you Jewels, we all aspire to have your Kindness and Light and we miss you very very much🐶🐱🌈❤️
PS. I wanted to clarify her being off leash in the street because we do not advocate off leash dogs that are not confined. Towards the end Jewels seemed to want to pee only on the pavement. With her arthritis and general slowing, I would take her to our front yard so she could comfortably stroll on the street with me(and sometimes up to 7 cats) hovering. We live on a cul de sac and I was by her side every outing. Honestly I miss this ritual. Oh also, we had a lot of snow right after Jewels passed so Torque, Racket, and 4 others of her entourage were brought inside and all decided indoors was worth it. TNR your community cats!!!
