Good Bye To Our Jake!

Jake MacCutcheon 1993-2008

Our Jake died yesterday June 9th 2008. He would have been 15 in September! Jake is the bigger Aussie Cattle Dog on the right in the photo. Max, the smaller boy, died in Sept 2006 at age 8.

Jake and Max each had a wonderful life, and they were both the best boys. Jake was like the Nanny Dog in Peter Pan, always by Emma's side, or any small child for that matter! If there was a baby in the carrier, Jake was right next to that baby! He had a wonderful heart and not a mean bone in his body.

Max was a special boy, I think he may have had a loss of oxygen at birth! He was the whiner and the barker....his only focus was ball and frisbee. I don't think he noticed Emma till maybe she started walking. But he also had a great heart and alot of love to give you!

So we are down to 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs and a big tank of fish now. The dogs corner is quiet, that is for sure! I am donating all of their stuff to the animal shelter here in Marshfield, they will love the dog beds and food bowls.

I love that picture....it's always on my fridge. They are both together now, and running all over the place. Lots of people are happily giving them "people food", and nobody thinks that they are annoying. We'll miss them too.

Well- this is Mom speaking - you know how my heart feels about Jake -Max - Casey..not to mention all of our furry family...We've got more pets buried in our cemetery than we have people in their "underground condos." I'm glad Emma and I had a chance to have happy moments after such sadness. Love and never forgetting our Jake.... Mom

I was deeply saddened to learn of Jake's passing....as you know, my Cera died on May 8th...quite unexpectedly, much like Max...I know the pain you are feeling right now...it comforts me to know that they are all together, running and playing and being happy dogs...it will be so nice to have them waiting for us up there in heaven. OK, I am crying like a baby right now! It is amazing the love you can have for a dog. Let me know when we get to go puppy shopping!

Love to all,
Robin
