Photo of me sitting on the edge of my van bed with my feet on the floor and a hole on the grass matting where Jet used to curl up.
It's the little things I notice: this morning was the first a time I'd swung my legs out of bed in the van and didn't have to worry about treading on Jet. ๐๐ถ #dogs #mydogposts #vanlife #roadtrip
Jet slept under my writing desk when I wrote A Dog and Van Road Trip - Part One. I didn't expect to write Parts Two and Three without him beside me. ~ Road Trip Reflections๐๐ถ #dogs #mydogs #mydogposts #vanlife #roadtrip #uluru www.tallandtrue.com.au/blog/a-dog-a...
"I set off in my son's old HiAce van on a road trip to Uluแนu with my 14-year-old dog, Jet, in September 2025." Read Parts One, Two and now Three of A Dog and Van Road Trip on Tall And True. ๐ถ๐ #vanlife #roadtrip #uluru #dogs #mydogs #mydogposts www.tallandtrue.com.au/blog/a-dog-a...
I've shared Part Three of A Dog and Van Road Trip, the account of Jet and my journey home from Uluru to Sydney. One of my favourite photos accompanies the post. โค๏ธ๐ถ #vanlife #roadtrip #uluru #dogs #mydogs #mydogposts www.tallandtrue.com.au/blog/a-dog-a...
A screenshot of a timeline memories post from 7 years ago of my black lab Jet resting his muzzle on the bed beside me and staring at me. I comment in the post how I love his face.
It's 3 weeks today since I lost Jet. I miss him so much. Thanks for popping up in my timeline memories today, pup! โค๏ธ ๐ถ #dogs #mydogs #mydogposts
Jet's squeaky chew toys in his toy bucket, their eyes looking out for him.
Two weeks on, I still look for Jet in the mornings, and so do his toys. ๐๐ถ #dogs #mydogs #mydogposts
A carrot and knife on the chopping board with the end of the carrot chopped off.
Cooking dinner tonight. I cut off the end of the carrot for Jet. I miss our dog. ๐๐ถ #dogs #mydogs #mydogposts
A photo of me on the front veranda with my black lab Harry, looking mopey for the camera.
A selfie on the veranda with my black lab Jet, who looks much happier than Harry in his photo with me.
My first FB profile pic with my dear old dog, Harry, on the front veranda in 2009. And my last FB profile pic on the veranda with dear old Jet in August 2011. Harry always looked mopey in photos, but Jet loved sidling up to me for my selfie hugs. And I loved it, too. โค๏ธ๐ถ #dogs #mydogs #mydogposts
A screenshot of a Facebook post of my dear old black lab Jet on his outdoor bed with his favourite stick in front of his kennel.
Well, that was tough. I've let Jet's kennel go to a new home. Fittingly, they have a lab, so I know it's the right size for her! ๐ถ PS. I kept Jet's outdoor bed (it folds up) ... and his favourite stick! โค๏ธ #dogs #mydogs #mydogposts
The story behind a piece I wrote for The Dog Collective coffee-table book for Xmas 2022, featuring my three labradors: Duke, Harry and Jet. A week on since losing 14-year-old Jet, I feel teary reading my closing lines. โค๏ธ๐ถ #dogs #mydogs #mydogposts www.tallandtrue.com.au/blog/the-dog...
My dear old Harry's collar sitting in front of two photos: one of a much younger me with Harry holding his "Best Mannered Dog" ribbon; the other of my then toddler son at the front fence with Harry, both looking in opposite directions up the street.
Jet's Labrador Rescue collar sitting in front of two recent photos: one of him with my 23-year-old son on the day he said goodbye to us and headed to Japan for a year's working holiday; the other of me with Jet at Uluru.
I created a memorial for our dear old Harry when he passed away in 2011. Back then, I had hundreds of photos of him, but these two made me smile. Nowadays, I probably have thousands of photos of Jet. But like Harry's photos, these two recent ones make me smile. โค๏ธ๐ถ #dogs #mydogs #mydogposts
Chopping board with knife, block of cheese, and a slice I've left for my recently departed dog, Jet.
It's the little things that undo me. Like chopping up cheese for lunch and leaving a slice aside for Jet. ๐๐ถ #dogs #mydog #mydogposts
Jet's washed toys laid out on a fold up clothes line in my sunny backyard.
The tough chores continue: washing Jet's squeaky chew toys from his toy bucket. Lots of tears for his favourutes I decided were too chewed and de-stuffed to keep. ๐๐ถ #dogs #mydog #mydogposts
My black lab Jet sitting on the mat at the front door looking out to the street to watch me (I'm at the front gate).
Sad to post that my dear black lab Jet passed away this morning. It was a peaceful farewell, and I find some comfort in the words of Agnes Sligh Turnbull: "Dogs' lives are too short. Their only fault really." See you on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge, old pup. ๐โค๏ธ ๐ถ #dogs #mydog #mydogposts
A front on photo of my grey whiskered black lab Jet asleep on his mat.
Jet's peeing "claret". He hasn't responded to antibiotics, I will get blood and urine tests done, but I won't subject him to invasive procedures and surgery. He's 14 and we've had a great life together. For now, we're enjoying each day as it comes. Just like a dog! โค๏ธ๐ถ #dogs #mydog #mydogposts

Strainer of rice, pot of boiled chicken, the probiotic dispenser for my black lab Jet sitting on the kitchen bench.
Jet must have snaffled something disgusting on a walk, and he AND have been up throughout the night for TWO nights, so he's going on a chicken and rice and probiotic paste diet! ๐๐ถ #dogs #mydog #olddog #mydogposts
