In
loving
memory
of our
Jake who
we love
so much
and who
will
forever
leave
paw
prints
on our
hearts.
|
Jake
will be
greatly
missed,
always
cherished
and
remembered
forever.
More
than
just a
great
dog, a
great
being
and a
best
friend...to
the end.
Whenever....
|
The sun
rises
The rain
falls
from the
sky
Day
turns
into
night
Summer
turns
into
Autumn
Another
year
passes
by the
hands on
the
clock
tick
That's when we'll think of you....
|
|
|
Not
just
tail
wagging,
but
entire
body
wagging...that
was your
specialty!
You use
to shake
in
anticipation
as you
waited
for us
to come
home.
Always
there,
beside
us, your
shadow
followed
without
fail...
You are
and
forever
will be,
one
amazing
dog who
overcame
such
challenging
obstacles
as but a
pup.
Such
pride,
strength,
beauty
and
faithfulness.
Jake,
you will
live on
in
everything
we do
and say.
You're a
part of
each of
us and
not a
minute
will go
by that
we don't
think of
you.
I hope you can feel
all of the love that
we each had for you.
You were there
before we got
married, and before
we even had the
boys. When times
were tough you could
always lift us up.
You've taught us so
many life lessons:
|
|
1). The best things in life are free
2). Greet your loved ones at the door
3). Never hold a grudge
4). Always be ready to play
5). Be able to laugh at yourself
6). Take joy in the company of others
7). Live every day as if it were the last

Back on
October
26th,
1993 Dad
was
driving
on his
way to
work. As
he was
getting
onto
Highway
610, he
glanced
over and
saw
something
black
laying
in the
median.
As he
got
closer,
up
popped
those
big
brown
eyes of
yours.
He drove
past at
first,
but just
couldn't
get
those
sad eyes
out of
his head
(and his
heart).
Your
tail was
wagging,
though
you were
in pain.
Someone
had just
left you
there to
fend for
yourself,
all
alone in
this
world.
No
collar,
no
microchip
and no
tags,
just a 5
month
old pup
with no
family
of your
own. Dad
immediately
called
me on
the
phone
(we
weren't
married
yet),
and
asked if
I could
come
over and
pick you
up and
get you
to the
vet
right
away.
I was a
little
apprehensive
at
first,
thinking
a
wounded
pup may
try to
bite...but
not you.
I guess
that's
why Labs
have the
rep of
being
such
great
dogs
with a
good
temperament!
That
tail
just
kept
wagging
and you
were so
adorable.
You
attempted
to walk
on 3
legs,
but
wouldn't
use your
back
right
one. The
first
vet,
told me
we
should
think
about
putting
you down
to end
your
suffering;
so I
knew
they
were
quacks!
I mean,
anyone
could
clearly
see how
much
life you
had left
to live
and how
eager
you were
to find
a
permanent
home; so
we
walked
right
out of
there to
find a
second
opinion.
I am so
glad we
did! The
next vet
we went
to said
those
magic
words I
had been
longing
to hear
"It
would be
a
complete
shame to
put down
such a
beautiful,
young
man".
After
some
x-rays
were
done it
was
determined
that you
had a
broken
hip.
Well, it
didn't
take
much
"negotiating"
about
what to
do
next...we
knew
what we
would
do,
without
question
of
course.
Fix that
hip and
welcome
you to
our
family.
Now, a
name...we
loved
the song
from
Pirates
Of The
Mississippi
"Feed
Jake",
and so
it was.
You had
your
surgery
on
November
1st,
1993 and
from
that day
on (no
lie) you
were
jumping
after
frisbees
and
snowballs
for
years to
come.
|
|
This was
clearly
the best
wedding
gift we
could
have
ever
given to
ourselves! |
|
You will be remembered
When the flowers bloom in spring
And in the summertime remembered
In the fun that summer brings.
You will be remembered
when fall brings leaves of gold.
In the wintertime, remembered,
in the stories that are told.
And you will be remembered,
each day right from the start.
For the memories that we once shared,
forever live in my heart.
