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.

JAKE

The Other Side

I have cried a river for you
So you can swim to the other side
Just follow that stick with
My last hug and kiss
Swim baby swim
To get to the other side
Where the grass is always green
The sun always shines and
Will warm you tired bones
Swim baby swim
A treat is always waiting
And play time never stops
Just remember to look for me
When I take my final swim
I will see your tail a wagging
Can't wait for my licks from you
When I get to the other side

Hope you are playing with my Meg today Jake. She has been up there with you a year now. I miss her so badly, just like your dad misses you xx

Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will.

Don't forget to look in on your old Dad from time to time though

Gone Too Soon

G od took you gently by the hand,
O n wings of love to another land,
N estled in the clouds up high,
E ternal live he gave you in the sky,

T he ones left behind have broken hearts,
O h they did not want you to depart,
O ne day you will all meet again,

S aving a place and no more pain,
O n wings of love in Heaven above,
O ur hearts are filled with lots of love,
N ever more then a heartbeat away,

Gone too soon but remembered every single day.

Wish
(by Terri Onorato)

I wish I had a daisy
for each time you've crossed my mind,
I'd lay a trail of white and gold
across the great divide.

I wish I had an orchid
for each tear I've cried for you,
I'd fill the deepest ocean
and watch the waves come through.

I wish I had a lily
for each memory that we made,
I'd plant them in the clouds
in tribute to your loving ways.

I wish I had a rosebud
for each earthly day you lived,
so I could pave a soft and fragrant path
to your new home at Rainbow Bridge.

A SECRET
Author Unknown

"We have a secret, you and I
that no one else shall know,
for who but I can see you lie
each night in fire glow?
And who but I can reach my hand
before we go to bed
and feel the living warmth of you
and touch your silken head?
And only I walk woodland paths
and see ahead of me,
your small form racing with the wind
so young again, and free.
And only I can see you swim
in every brook I pass
and when I call, no one but I
can see the bending grass."
