Jeep Alexander

8 Jun 2000 - General "Jeep "Alexander
Who is General "Jeep" Alexander you may ask. He was my mother's toy eskimo spitz dog when she was a girl. I grew up listening to all of my mother's stories. And I loved hearing them over and over again. Hearing about "Jeep", and the love in my mom's voice whenever she spoke of him made me feel like I knew him. But Jeep died 20 years before I was born. My mother really loves dogs. She loves all animals actually (well maybe not possums, but who could love a possum, yuck)but she especiall loves dogs. Jeep was a special dog. he was very intelligent. And he and mom were together constantly during her early growing up years. She says Jeep was the little brother she never had. Jeep even got arrested with Grandaddy once. Mom went and got Jeep and left Granddaddy in jail. LOL. When Jeep died it broke her heart. And she would well up at the mention of him. She was hurt over his death until about 25 years ago, which would have been about 25+ years after his death. What got her over her pain over Jeep was getting another toy eskimo spitz, Teddy. Teddy was my Christmas gift when I was 11 or 12 years old. He was a replica of Jeep. We all loved Teddy. He was a precious dog.He wasn't smart like Jeep was he was sweet. When Teddy was about 5 he got cancer in his leg. The doctor amputated it. He healed so well and could still run around. But about a year later the cancer came back to his lungs. He had to be put to sleep. That hurt, but having teddy helped mom get over Jeep. I have no idea why I am thinking about this, but I am so I put it down in here.
Y'all have a good day. Jami
