R.I.P. Jake

• R.I.P. Jake ChancesMama Posted : 7/9/2007 5:54:50 PM Jake our 11 1/2 year old rottweiler died last night. He was fine one minute dead the next. He'd been having problems with arthritis. Jake was old for a rottweiler, he was my mama's baby so she's really upset about it. Jake had a famous ancestor. Back in January or Febuary he got really bad and we thought he'd have to be put down then. Jake was a good boy who loved kids and women in particular. Here's some pics these were taken in his younger and healthier days. RIP Jake. Jake 11-22-95 to 7-8-07.   Jake as a pup, the day we got him.   Jake and my little cousin Leslie. They grew up together. Being playful.   Jake loved his picture taken.

• tacran Posted : 7/10/2007 12:00:11 AM Oh, what a beautiful boy he was!  I love the car photo, too.  You can see his playful spirit in his face.  He was clearly loved and cared for deeply, judging by his long life.  I know the heartache of losing a big baby like that - the hole is physically felt when 120+ pounds are suddenly no longer by your side.  I'll ask my boy, Tonka, to look for him at the bridge.  He's a big guy, too, and he surely has lots of kids around him to introduce to Jake.     Run free without pain now, Jake, and watch over your family as they adjust to the sad days without you.

• JoAnnDe Posted : 7/11/2007 5:23:26 PM I'm so sorry for your loss.   Jake seems to be the type that you can't help falling in love with at first sight - I know I did, just through the lovely photos you posted. Run free sweet Jake.  You'll be missed but I'll be hoping that your family will find solace knowing that there's no pain where you are now and remembering all your happy years together.   0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

I couldn't have said that better.  It just isn't fair.  [sm=sad.gif]   But, imagine how badly we'd grieve if they were here as long as people are?  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
