Dreams of you...

Sweet Jake...my beautiful baby boy...you came in my dreams. If any..it would be you. Your spirit was always so strong and our bond like no other. Still, I wish you were here beside me now. I miss you baby boy and I will till the end of time. You were my protector, my strength in some of the hardest days of my life you gave me comfort. Your love for me goes beyond death...I feel you so many times right next to me...smiling at me and touching my heart with your spirit. I love you sweet Jake. Come again in my dreams. I can only hope you knew how much you were loved. You were my heart and I enjoyed each and every moment we shared. Someday baby boy...I will hold you again and give you your belly rubs and nose kisses. Until then...come again in my dreams. Love you...Mom

Dear Jake and all your loved ones who have passed beyond this veil to the other side.....

SOFT BREEZES
Once upon a moment just last night was then.
The rush of the soft breeze blowing

Understanding didn't come in a whisper.....
Nor in a shout .. of despair....

How do we help them recognize--
That death tis a footstep towards the start of a journey... Only known to the spirits' who have passed that way before...

Shall we join with those spirits that are waiting...
Both human and canine.. to reunite with our
loved ones?

In the chasm of our souls...
Watching ..
Waiting...
Anticipating....
REUNION
written by Edith Niemeyer- 12-16-06

I truly believe that we shall pass beyond this veil to the next and our SOUL MATES shall be reunited with us.

This made my mommys eyes all wet because she never wanted to let me go. She knows in her heart that this life here is just a journey to lead us to the eternity that we will all spend with our loved ones. In this life our spirits were as one...because our love was that strong. Each night mommy tells me she loves me and misses me....in return I send her my akita kisses on angel wings to comfort her heart. Love never dies...it lives forever and ever and ever. Never stop believing that we will be together again. The greatest gift you can at times give...is letting go...and allowing us the dignity to die the way we lived our lives. Wuff to all........on angel wings............Jake

Five years since I kissed your face and had to let you go...

Sweet Jake. My big baby boy. I can not believe it has been five years. It seems like only yesterday you were doing your back throw downs for your belly rubs. Looking at me with such love. YOU were and will always be such a big part of my heart. I still have such a hard time when I go out in the back yard where we played and played and played. What a big presence you were. No one could come close to mom unless they went through you first. You protected me, laughed with me, were there through the tears and through all the beautiful years we shared. If a dog could play jokes on their mommy it was you. I will always remember how you stood by while I searched each day for your food bowl. I still see you looking up with that goofy grin on your face. God how I wish I could start from the beginning and share another fourteen years with you or more. On this day in which we last saw and touched each other..I send you my heart and want you to remember always how much I love you. I miss you still........so much. I hope you are free from pain and running and jumping and playing with Trudy and your sister CK. I love you Jake and will miss you forever. Mom...

To mommy...I love you..

THE EULOGY By: Carol Kufner
Look not where I was
For I am not there
My spirit is free
I am everywhere

In the air that you breathe
In the sounds that you hear
Don't cry for me Mom
My spirit is near

I'll watch for you
From the other side
I'll be the one running
New friends by my side

Smile at my memory
Remember in your heart
This isn't the end
It's a brand new start

DID YOU KNOW?

Sweet Jake, did you know that each day we shared you made my life better? Did you know that I loved you more than anything on this earth? Did you know what a good boy I thought you were? Did you feel the fear in my heart the day you fell and could no longer walk? Did you feel the pain while you were asleep and could you feel my tears as I set your spirit free?
If I could rewrite time...I would ask God to give me those days when you first came to me..and I would ask him if we could share another fourteen years together. Did you know how much you meant to me? Did I give you as much love as you gave me? When I let you go, my heart and spirit went with you. You were my baby boy and I miss you still, each and every day. It does not seem possible you have been gone so long. Wasn't it just yesterday I was looking for your food bowl you hid? When I found the last one you hid...were you with me that day...could you see my tears and feel how much it meant to me to find that last bowl? I knew you were standing beside me that day, giving me that JAKE smile...and laughing because it took me so long to find it. I love you my Jaker. I will love you until the end of time. Wait for me and when you see my journey here on earth come to an end...meet me at the land of Rainbows...because I will be looking for you. Miss you sweet Jake..and my heart will be with you always. Love..your human mom
Thank you for blessing my life and for being the light and joy in each of the days that we shared.

To Honor all those that fought for our Freedom.

Its a woofin great weekend to take the time to think of all those that are fighting for our freedom. Think of all the young men and women whom have lost their lives, or been wounded defending our right to be Free. At the bridge we are celebrating with you. All the young people are here with us. They miss their families and friends and thank you for remembering them. They say they would do it all again...for all of you. We pets that are at the bridge are by their sides keeping them company and sharing stories of our mom and dads with them. My daddy was in Vietnam and he is at the bridge with me. It saddens him to think of how these men and women who fought because they were told to..that it was an important war were treated when they arrived home. All these brave souls are heros and deserve our woofin bestest licks. So on this beautiful weekend of rememberance...say a prayer for all those souls at the bridge with us who fought for each of you.
Happy Memorial Day...Be Proud to be Free to be an American.
Jaker....

Not a day goes by that I do not think of You. Mama loves- you and misses you.

Sometimes in your life...something special comes your way. Jake was born in my home the day before Thanksgiving 1987. I delivered Jake at two in the morning. From that moment...until he took his last breath...we lived for each other. He was such a special dog. OK..some may say I am prejudiced..but truly..he was a special dog. I did not take Jake to formal training..if I said sit..he sat. If I said lay down..he did just that. He gave me such joy and love that nothing on this earth could ever compare to that kind of devotion. I had always promised Jake that I would never let him suffer. I would let him live his life with dignity and JOY. We cherrished each day together. He would do this thing where he would throw himself down and await his belly rubs. I was always afraid he would break his back. As he grew older I begged him not to do that...but he never stopped. He used to hide his food bowels from me. As I searched the yard for them..he always was by my side talking to me...and if he could..I am sure he was laughing at the joke he had played on mom.
Jake had arthritis and bone spurs. We kept him up and walking and happy for many years with rymadyl and adequan injections...and I am sure..becaue of his deep love for me.
I came home from work that last day in December in 2001 and found Jake lying down..unable to stand. I worked and worked willing my love to make him better and strong again. I slept outside with him because I could not get him into the house. It was winter..but with a blanket and pillow...I lay beside him and willed him to get better. Begging God...to give me more time. But..it never happened. I took Jake to the emergency vet...just to make sure there was no chance for him to get up again...after XRays...they came and told me he would never be able to walk again. His bone spurs were to large...he was in to much pain. While Jake was sedated...I let him go. I knew if I woke him up to say goodbye...that I would not be able to do it. So I held him, and kissed him and said goodbye. It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. But, I kept my promise and Jake died with the dignity he deserved.
Not a day has gone by that I have not continued to tell him how much I love him and how much I miss him. He lives forever in the memories he etched in my soul. Someday...we will be together again. When that day comes...nothing can sperate us again. I love you Jaker, and I will forever and ever and ever. Thank you for blessing my life for fourteen years.
Your mom...
You are forever in my heart.....
