Jake by Pat

Jake was more than a dog…he was in every sense…my best friend..my companion…my precious baby boy. Jake had a spirit like no other. I brought him into this world in Novermber of 1987..he was my forever Thanksgiving present..that God had given to me. We bonded like no other…and he was my heart and soul for over fourteen years.

Jake gave me comfort in some of my darkest hours. He was my hugs…when I needed them..my kisses when the tears needed to be kissed away..and the love in my heart that kept me from being lonely. Jake protected me …guarded me..and I know..would have died for me…if need be. With my precious Jake though..I was never afraid.
He kept the fear away.

Letting Jake go because of his pain from arthritis and not being able to stand any longer…was hard. I only hope that my precious Jake..felt my love in those last seconds..and knew he was taking my heart with him. I will love Jake forever. My soul runs with his now…for he is strong and can stand and feels no pain.

About two months ago..Jaker hid one of his food bowls. It was a game we two played…me searching and him right by my side..smiling and talking to me while I searched. I think he knew..and thought it was funny. I never found the last one he hid. I know on the day that I do…my precious Jake will be by my side..smiling and letting me know..he is still with me and
will always be with me.

Guard my heart well sweet Jake…mom will be with you when it is her time. Then…and only then will our circle be complete…and I will never have to let you go again. I love you today..tomorrow and always..you will forever and ever..be in my heart.

Love….
