Jake, when I got you, I had lost my best friend and life long companion Sam.
He was a white lab like yourself. I had to have him put to sleep after 13 years. He had cancer and I couldn't let him suffer. My life was so empty after that. My life for 13 years was revolved around Sam. Everyday stuff was let him out, if its raining make sure hes in the house. I would go home for lunch just to let him out to go to the bathroom. If I went away for the weekend, I would hire a dog sitter. It was so hard!

After about 9 months I found a breeder of labs in Kansas. I kept going back and looking at Toby your dad. Who by the way looked just like Sam. When I knew I was ready, I made the call. Dad, Dakota and I took the 2 hour drive and picked you out of 9 puppies. You were a week old at that time.

When we went to get you at 10 weeks old. I almost cried. You were so beautiful. You looked like the cute lab puppies in the commerials. You had a wonderful personality and were so spoiled.

Then the day came that you didn't come home. I knew in my heart that you never would. But I kept looking for you anyway just in case.

Jake, please forgive me for not finding you in time. Its been 8 months and I am still crying and so upset I have to stop for a minute I can't see for the tears.
God I miss you! Please never forget the love I have for you. Time with you was too short. You were only 2. We could and should of had many more. I hope you are doing well and I know Sam will take care of you until I get there to be with all of you.

Rest in Peace my Baby Jake!!

Love,

Mom
