ETERNAL LOVE FOR HER PETS

A TERMINALLY ILL WOMAN IS GETTING TATTOOS OF ALL 20 OF HER PETS . . . SO SHE CAN TAKE THEM WITH HER WHEN SHE DIES:

47-year-old Jayne Jubbs is from Peterborough, England. After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, she decided the one thing she wanted MOST . . . was to get tattoos of all 20 of her pets, so she could "take them with her."

So Jayne . . . who runs a wildlife sanctuary for exotic animals . . . got to work, and so far she's gotten tattoos of:

-- Four RACCOONS on her upper back

-- A FOX on her lower back

-- A few CATS and MEERKATS on her right arm

-- A FRUIT BAT on her left arm

Next up, Jayne plans to tattoo an IGUANA on her neck. And after that, she has to find some space for tattoos of her pet SNAKE, DOGS and COCKATIELS. (Daily Mail)

The saddest part of all this? Jayne is married to a 50-year-old guy named Alan, and she says the thing she'll miss most when she dies . . . is her ANIMALS. Ouch.
