I think it has finally hit Max that Jake is gone & not coming back.He has had at least one accident for the past three days.He was doing so good-no accidents for months.Since he is full grown, it is hard to remember that he is still just a puppy.He is such a good dog!Never runs off or pukes & doesn't shed. He doesn't beg & is so good with kids.He is completely in love with Chloe. He sleeps on her bed at night (part of the poop problem-until it is fixed-back to the kennel) and cries by the door when she leaves.He follows her around the house like a little shadow & loves to be loved by anyone & everyone!Not to mention he is so cute.(All this from a former dog hater, amazing.)Today the vet's office sent us a sympathy card & a little ceramic disk with jakes paw print on it.Our vet is the best.Of course I started to cry~again, but it's okay.So for now I am cleaning up dog stress.Which is better than the other stress I cleaned up this week which has to do with the upstairs toilet overflowing & mom not being called to the scene until 1/2 inch of water had appeared on the floor-or the poop on the bathroom floor that, "fell out before I could sit down"-I won't go too deep into that for Trent's sake.

A Very Sad Day

I wasn't sure I could blog about this or not, but I have come to realize that blogging is very therapeutic for me. I haven't written about the stresses too much in my life so far- and some days there really are many. So here I go. Yesterday & today have been very sad at our house. While we were on vacation Jake had a very unfortunate incident-which I don't want to elaborate on- and we had to put him down. Brett spent the morning talking to everyone we could think of to find a way out of it-but it just had to be. To make it even worse Brett had an important meeting in Cleveland so he had to leave & I had to take care of it myself. Anyone who knows me knows I have never been a pet person, but somehow I fell in love with my Jake. He was a pain really- I guess when you serve someone you grow to love them more. He threw up a lot-he ran off constantly. Well, I loved him & it's a very sad day. The vet was so good with him & Brett insisted Brian go with me, which now I am very grateful for because I don't think I could have driven home.Anyhow, it was a lonely night with Brett away & no Jake on my bed.I always felt safer having Jake there when Brett was gone. We'll miss you Jake! As Jack said-"don't worry, he's having a good time jumping the pearly gates."
