Dear Jake's Dad
When our beloved pet's have to leave us, there is never a good time for them to do so. I had to put my baby to sleep on December 30th, 2008, only about 3 weeks after your Jake left you. I had a very hard time of it, I loved him SO much. I think about him much and wish he were still here with me. However, he was suffering and I had to make that awful decision but now our babies are at rest. Where they are at Rainbow Bridge, they whole, healthy and happy and they are waiting for the day when we join them, never to be parted again.
One thing I do that I have found very helpful is writing down my memories of him. People who haven't had the priviledge of having a pet do not feel the depth of pain we feel when our beloved pet leaves us. May God bless you and hold you close in your lonely hours of missing Jake.
So Sorry by: TRICIA
Dennis,
Animals come in to your heart and stay. They are your family and you feel no different then if you buried a child. I like you had very little notice. Less than 24 hours from picture of health to death. I was not ready, "It wasn't his time" I cried out everyday... I still need him!
What a huge hole in my life it left. Jake is happy and healthy running on rolling hills I believe. He is fine and happy and just content to wait for you one day. Hope you can look back soon without tears but laughter and smiles as memories of him make you happy not sad.

Dennis,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know what it's like to lose your best friend so suddenly. In late October I lost my Sugarfoot; he was here one moment, and literally in the next he was gone; his heart problems had caught up with him. Time has made it easier to bear, and I know at some point it will for you too. Sometimes I swear the pain was so great it buried me to the point I could only feel numb, but the days, the weeks, have made it better, and now I feel something again. You did a heck--no, a hell--of a job looking out for your Jake, and all that you did was not in vain. When you see him again, expect HUGE licks--and one very long, very special walk. Then all the pain will be forgotten.
God bless.
Joe

Mary,
Thank you so much for your kind thoughts.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Our little guys are so sweet, innocent and beautiful, they go directly to heaven.
We gave them all of our love. We will be rewarded by seeing them again and we will never be separated from our great friend.

You Are Not Alone.... by: Mary
Dear Dennis,
I understand how you feel...I lost my Barabbas Sept 8th, 2008.. A date I will remember always, It was also our 24th wedding anniversary....
He was a Great Dane and his love was burned into my soul.
I don't think the pain will ever go away, we just have to take it a day at a time and live with it....
Know that you are not alone and that someday you and I will be reunited with our dear friends.
