A tribute to Jasmine, our crazy canine companion

CBD is a canine-friendly office and, for the past 9 years, my lovely girl Jasmine has been a constant presence.  Sadly, Jasmine departed this world on Tuesday for the big doggie park in the sky.   A Shepherd-Husky mix, Jazzy was a talker, with a “woo-woo” howl unlike nothing we’ve ever heard.  Various pitches of that howl announced her arrival at the office, her desire to eat (right smack at high noon), her need for a walk, a demand for a treat… even expressing annoyance at having her morning or afternoon nap interrupted.  She often talked–and ran–during her sleep as well, an amusing diversion in the day.  Our office manager, Sharon, was always a soft touch, and Jazzy pestered her relentlessly for treats.  She helped herself to a good share of unprotected sandwiches and the occasional piece of birthday cake and would bound in like a freight train to a client meetings if food was involved.

Jasmine left behind an office full of admirers—my husband, me and Puck (her much more aloof and quiet companion who misses her a bunch).  No dog will ever be another crazy Jazzy, but we feel the best way to honor her life is to provide a new life for another pup who will, of course, be absolutely wonderful in her unique ways.   So, this weekend, we will take Puck “speed dating” at Chicago Canine Rescue, the wonderful organization that plucked them both out of Chicago animal control’s pound so many years ago.  Stay tuned!
