Jakester Maniac.....Remembered.

My little wiener dog Jake. He was the cutest little guy and the best dog. He put up with all our drama and was a champ! We were really worried when his sister died last year that he would be lonely and sad. He was, for a bit, but recovered thanks to a lot of help from our lovin' and spoiling and of course.....LOADS of Pupperonies! He made it just shy of a year and other than the major fat deposit we created in his tail, just fine. Well, last Saturday he was his cute self, just a little winded. We thought maybe he had some allergies, or something. It wasn't and when it got a little worse, we took him to our beloved vet, Dr. Good (that is his real name by the way) and he discovered Jakey's heart had enlarged and he had thrown a bunch of clots and his lungs were failing. We were not prepared for this at all. We had to say goodbye that day and hugged and kissed him enough for a lifetime. He was so sweet and funny and it was a major blow for us, but I am so grateful he didn't have to suffer long and gets to go be with Sammy now. I picture him laying in my Dad's lap, or chasing tennis balls with Sam across an endless backyard. And, of course, unending treats day and night! So, this is a tribute to my Bub. He was one awesome wiener dog and I will miss him forever.
