We said goodbye to our beloved family pet this weekend. Jake has been with us almost 14 years, since he was 6 weeks old. He was a great companion and a loyal friend. The boys are taking it in stride. We've encouraged their questions and sharing their thoughts and feelings about him. They each had some time alone with him to say goodbye and I think it helped. B assured him that he was going to be with God and we have all found some peace in knowing he is no longer in pain. His final days were difficult and we are all grateful he is not suffering now. He joins Max (our first dog who passed away just before I became pregnant after 10 years with us) so we are also comforted that he is with his old friend. Here are some pictures of Jake (and Max)...

Oh Danielly! I am so sorry. The pix made me teary - I remember that apartment on Clark Street! Our own Melrose Place, complete with rotating Thursday night dinners to watch "Friends" together. Jake was so silly! Know that I will miss him too. XOXOXO, III, Miche
Danielle,
