About Jake didn't want to go, he looked so good and seemed like he'd go on forever. He was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma (a very aggressive form of cancer) and due to the late stage of the disease he had to be put down (no cure was possible) - I could not let him suffer. It took me over a month to post this as it was one of the most difficult things I have had to endure. Jake literally was everything I could have expected in a dog-companion. So sweet, so gentle, so wise, so pretty and just the right sense of humor. He knew he was loved.

Until we meet again...

Will always love and miss you my Little Man.

Excellent photo Brigitte. Very sad story about Jake. You did what was best for him, it wasn't easy so it took great courage from you. He couldn't have had a better owner and I bet he had a great life.

Dear Brigette ... I am so sorry for your loss - I am a dog and animal lover as well and I know exactly how you feel - You never forget them - they are our family - beautiful dedication and image of a beautiful happy Jake :))

Your Friend,
Michele~

Great picture of Jake and a touching tribute to him as well. You tender spirit really comes through your positive attitude and respect of others. I know that the loss is hard but the peace to know he no longer suffers is consolation in itself. I to have lost some dear animal buddies and it never got easy.
Be well, Stan

Good vision and sensation due to a change...
WELL DONE

jacques brisebois   {K:55073} 7/25/2008
Can understand how you feel when you lost him Brigitte. Always hard to say goodbye, but as you said, sure you'll see him somewhere someday.

Take care and keep on going on Brigitte.

I can sympathise Brigitte as a very similar thing happened with my Jake (a scruffy cross-bred twelve year old puppy).

This is a beautiful picture, he seems so happy and its easy to see what a lovely dog he was.
