I first laid eyes on Jake when he was six months old.
My dad gave him to me because Jake had the same
birthday as I did – December 12th.
I was just 9 years old when I got Jake and I loved him
from that moment.
He loved going in the woods, especially fishing.
We would bring him into the pond and he was always so
content in there.
He was always so strong and so energetic.
At the age of 15, we decided that it was time for Jake
to “go home” as he had terrible arthritis in his hips and
we could not do anything more for him.
He was my best friend and I miss him and love him dearly.
He protected me from a little girl to an adult, and
I will love him until I see him again.
Jake, we’ll go in the woods again soon….
love,
Amanda xoxo
