Jake, Always in Our Hearts
Jake left us this afternoon. When the tech brought him out to us, he seemed so alive. I forgot for a moment that he was sick. I took him outside and his back legs collapsed. He cannot walk. I carried him over to the grass, but he didn't have to go. We went back inside and visited for a bit. I showed the vet some pictures of Jake doing agility so she could know the Jake that we knew. Jake tried so hard to stand up, but he just couldn't. He leaned on me and I kissed him. Told him that we loved him and will never forget him. He melted in my arms on the first injection. I let him slide to the floor. He let out a heavy breath and then he was gone. It was all over so fast. Our little boy is at rest now and we will miss him for the rest of our lives.

What a beautiful dog and a beautiful life! He will always be special to you as your oldest one and first champion. Just want to say what wonderful parents you both have been and as much as you already know this, Jake was really blessed to have you both. You loved him through the very end - a tough thing to do. My thoughts are with you. Love you - Jennifer
I am so very, very sorry Susan. Jake was a great little guy. I'm sorry to see the Blues Brothers break up - I have a lot of good memories of seeing you guys on course, and also as part of the Sheltie crew on Wednesday nights.
Give Woody a big squeeze for us. It could be hard for him with his bro' gone, and he'll need extra love. At least he'll have Shane for company. Be well...

Sue and Frank, I am soo sorry to hear about poor little Jake - he was such a cool dog. I know it's never long enough, but he certainly had a wonderful life with you as his parents. Sue, I know you don't believe in the afterlife, but I do. In fact, when it's my time to go, I want to come back as one of your dogs. But I have hip dysplasia so I probably won't be very good at agility :-( Take it easy... Valerie
God, Sue . . . I remember the day you picked him up from the owner and how much I loved that little guy back then already! I'm just really happy you've got Woody and Shane now.
Hey, when I leave this world I wanna come back as a dog in the DeMar family!
Love,
K
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Frank, Woody, and Shane. I am so sorry for your loss.
Love,
Kristen
