A personal message to you all from Paula Clough-Sale, Jura’s mum 💔
Where do I start… it’s been a difficult few days getting the news about Jura. I know this was a likely outcome, but it still never prepares you to actually hear the news that she had died. Jura was a rescue and I made a promise to her ( like us dog parents do) that I would take care of her and give her a good life and I feel like I have let her down. I also didn’t have her very long before this incident happened.
There are no words that I can possibly find, and ‘Thank you’ just really doesn’t express my gratitude to each and every one of you. Strangers that didn’t know me, or Jura, but the way you have all gone out of your way to help me and the team look for her, using your own time and resources is just amazing.
The private messages,the support, the hugs, the chats in the street about Jura and how you were all routing for her and praying that she is safe 🥹I cannot thank you enough. I used to live in London before moving here, and I just know that if this would have happened if I was still back there, then I wouldn’t have received this support.
You are all the definition of a ‘Community’ Thank you for all your donations.
To the AMAZING volunteers…Suze Smith Claire Chevin and Alex Lyczkowski.. I cannot believe a team like you even exists. You didn’t know me from Adam, but went out of your way to make contact with me, and you put together a plan of how we were going to search for my girl.
The amazing lengths we went to…Suze and I wading through the woods with nettles upto our arm pits, us taking it in turns to do BBQs in the woods every evening to help lure her out if she was hiding.
The drones that we had go up to search for her, the duck with the camera attached, the team you pulled together to physically search the river for her, it’s just nothing but genius! The way you cared about finding her and were absolutely relentless in your efforts, I’m just in awe of the love you have for what you do. You NEVER stopped searching for her, and without you I wouldn’t have known where to start.
I know that we all did EVERYTHING we could possible to try and find her.
My heart is broken, and I’ll never ever forget Jura.the most sweetest little thing 💕
Sorry this post has been ridiculously long, and I still have another paragraph in me to go, but I won’t put your eyes through any more!
As you celebrate and bring in 2025, please raise a glass to Jura.
Gone far too soon. My gorgeous girl 💫🐾💔
