My Jake had to be put to sleep on 14/2/2007,he was 13yr 7mnth and even after 2 years there is not a day that goes by when I don't burst into tears at the drop of a hat.I remember bringing him home late August 1993 and he was so small that he could sit all 4 of his paws in my hand(I think he was only 6 weeks old when I got him)I never went abroad when Jake was here,instead we'd just go to a mates cottage in Cornwall and spend our time relaxing,walking on the beach,trips to the pub.1 day I left him in the cottage to take someone out to dinner(the restaurant was 30 yards from the cottage),as I was about to start a lady tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I was such and such,I had NO idea what this could be about so I said that Yes I was such and such.'I don't want to worry you she said' at that moment my heart sank deep into my chest 'but we've got a Staffie outside that we think belongs to you' So out I went and there was Jake within a big crowd of people around him.It turned out that he must of thought i'd left him so he proceeded to charge the cat flap until the whole panel had fell out of the door.He was also with my Grandad at the moment he died of a heart-attack and refused to let a couple of teenagers get close to my Grandad,there must of been something about them that he either didn't like or trust.
If i'd woke up 1 day to find him dead on my bed I would be feeling a thousand times better than I do now,I even called the vet to the house so as Jake didn't expect the worse,as they came in my boy jumped off the settee and made a big fuss of the people i'd called round to kill him.I have 2 other dogs,a 7 yr Staffie bitch whom I bought for Jake and in May 2007 I bought a Bull Terrier as I couldn't of beared the thought of getting a male Staffie and the house was so quiet as Jake wasn't around snoring and farting etc
I just feel so alone witout my little boy,tears are streaming down my face as I type this,the only consolation that I have is that he's buried in the garden and he'll always be alive in my heart.

Rainbows appear only on dreary, rainy days.
They beautify the world for a few brief moments.
These moments, however, can be spectacular.
YOU were my brief rainbow.
You entered my life
And stayed but a short while.
Nonetheless, the memories of those moments
When you blessed us with laughter and delight,
Joy and smiles,
Charm and beauty,
Gaiety and silliness,
Sunlight and moonbeams,
Giggles and love
Made the deluge,
The tears of pain and anger,
Helplessness and fear,
Insanity and agony,
Sadness and heartbreak,
Emptiness and loneliness
Bearable
Rainbows, however brief,
Make the world a brighter, lovelier place.
How grateful I am that I had you,
My brief rainbow.

It's Snowing in Spring
Jake,it's been snowing all day and it's freezing cold.
We would be over the back looking for a snowdrift to play around in if you were here.
Please give Grandad a kiss from me and have fun with Mickey
I miss you and I love you

Now I lay me down to sleep,
The king-size bed is soft and deep..
I sleep right in the center groove
My human being can hardly move!
I've trapped her legs, she's tucked in tight
And here is where I pass the night
No one disturbs me or dares intrude
Till morning comes and "I want food!"
I sneak up slowly to begin
my nibbles on my human's chin.
She wakes up quickly,
I have sharp teeth-
I'm a puppy, don't you see?
For the morning's here
and it's time to play
I always seem to get my way.
So thank you Lord for giving me
This human person that I see.
The one who hugs and holds me tight
And shares her bed with me at night!

Thoughts of Cornwall
With such fondness,I remember the few times we went down to the cottage.It was my favourite time that I've ever had.
Do you recall the time I had a "Lock in" at the pub?
Well,when I came back @1am,Nanny was standing in the hall with you and she was wearing her coat and you had your collar and lead on.
"What are you up too?" I said
"Oh Ben" said Nanny,"I thought you might of had a accident and we were coming looking for you"
"Oh well" I said,"no problem"
"Well" said Nanny "I phoned the police and Coast Guard and reported you missing"
"You've done what" I said
Then I had to call the Police and ask them to call off the search as I had already found myself
That still makes me laugh Jake.
I love you,I miss you and I look forward to the time when we are re-united for ETERNITY
Lots of love
Dad,Nanny,Maddie and Del-Boy x x x x

There is a place called heaven,
In the beautiful skies.
When a animal is in need,
The angels arise.
God's precious jewels,
Are the angels from above.
They are God's creatures,
Full of love for you and me.
Beyond the Rainbow
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.
I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.
(Written by CG - 1995)
Walking alone
I take Maddie and Del out twice a day mate and I feel I'd rather be walking on my own than have either one with me.
I didn't even realise what I had in you until you were gone,then I realised just how special you are

And I will light a candle for you.
To shatter all the darkness and bless the times we knew.
Like a beacon in the night
The flame will burn bright and guide us on our way.
Oh, today I light a candle for you.
The seasons come and go, and I'm weary from the change.
I keep on moving on you know it's not the same.
And when I'm walking all alone
Do you hear me call your name?
Do your hear me sing the songs we used to sing?
You filled my life with wonder, touched me with surprise,
Always saw that something special deep within your eyes.
And through the good times and the bad,
We carried on with pride.
I hold onto the love and life we knew.
And I will light a candle for you.
To shatter all the darkness and bless the times we knew.
Like a beacon in the night
The flame will burn bright and guide us on our way.
Oh, today I light a candle for you.

When evening shades are falling,
And we are all alone
To our hearts comes a longing
If only you could come back home
Friends and family may think we have forgotten
When they see us smile
But they don’t know the heartache
That we hide all the while
