Jackson Pawlick 2001-2017
From John, November 1st, 2017It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to our best dog ever, Ms Jackson Pawlick, vineyard and delivery assistant, hiking and running companion and source of endless entertainment for 16 years.
Although she had humble beginnings in Estacada, she was an Einstein of dogs. She knew over 50 words, her favorite being “cheese” but she recognized many important phrases such as “go get son of a bitch” (her squeeky George Bush toy), lets go to the river, the names of everyone in the family & the winery. Jackson was a running phenom easily covering 5-6 miles in Forest Park if asked to do so. She practiced yoga on command (down dog!), fetched the New York times every morning, but perhaps her coup de gras was “spazz out”, a amalgamation of 4 favorite tricks, spinning around, rolling over, speaking and finally downward dog. More than anything she was a unique personality, a sweet soul, a loyal friend.
She was pre-deceased by her best friend, Guido and is survived by our new puppy Linus, Julian’s corgi P. Middy and the extended Paul-Wadsworth family. We hope she is eating cheese in doggie heaven.
