Jack didn't want to leave the horses, so Pa let him go. This trade actually happened in Missouri on their way out of Indian Territory going back to Wisconsin.

I especially see in OTBOPC several times when it seems like it's Laura and Jack against the world. I have two huskies and the one that's "mine" puts his paws on my shoulder every night when I come home to give me a hug and kiss. How can you not feel that they are part of the family? (A part of the family that is always happy to see you and never criticizes you about anything.) I agree.

While I loved reading about Jack, I also loved reading about Kitty from Little Town on the Prairie as well. So far as what really happened to Jack, I think I read somewhere that when Pa traded Pet and Patty, that Jack was part of the deal, as the dog didn't want to be separated from his two friends.

Why do we still cry whenever we read about Jack's passing when we know it's not true? I still do. I was always a cat person until I bottle-fed and raised the dog I have now. He is a member of the family and treated as such. I really think my (grown) kids are the teeniest bit jealous! I love how Laura loved her dogs. Jonni, I love this post!
