I knew Jammer since he started his training as an ICAN pup. Jammer lived with me for 6 months as he finished his last phase of training. Jammer helped me become a better dog trainer and during our time together I trained him to pull my chair and ride the wheelchair lift on the IUPUI campus shuttle. He was such an enthusiastic dog and loved to work. At one point I considered him as my successor dog to Jessie but he ended up working as a Facility Dog and ICAN's very successful stud dog, siring more than 100 puppies.
Jammer and Morey, Summer 2014 |
Father and Son |
I know the heartache of losing not only a beloved dog but also a canine colleague. I still mourn the loss of my sweet Jessie who also died unexpectedly and far too soon. When you share every part of your life with your dog you miss them nearly every minute of every day. No matter where you go or what you do you miss the constant presence of your pooch. There are many people who will miss Jammer and I am definitely one of them. Jammer has made an impact in the world not only in the lives he touched personally but also through the lives each of his puppies, including Morey. I am thankful to have known such a special dog and am sad he has left the world far too soon.
RIP Jammer. You loved and were loved by many during your years on earth. You will be missed!
