It's been 5 years today

My sweet Jakey Boy:
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
You've been gone from us 5 years today and still miss you so very much. Your goofy antics will never be forgotten! Your new little sister Ellie Mae reminds us so much of you. I have a feeling that wasn't such a coincidence.
I will always remember the day we found you at the Humane Society - curled up in a corner and shaking. You gave me a look that said, "I'VE HAD A VERY ROUGH START IN LIFE - PLEASE GIVE ME A CHANCE!!!!" Well, we did just that and you gave US more than words could ever say. We're so glad we were able to give you 10 years of the love and happiness you deserved.
Today is also your sister Sadie's birthday. Her second at the Bridge. I hope you two are celebrating these milestones together!
We all love you and will forever miss you.
Mom, Dad, Chris and Brandon

ANOTHER NEW BABY SISTER!

Dear Jakey Boy: Guess what Boo-Boo??? You have another new little sister! Her name is Ellie Mae and she's a cutie! She was born on July 16th and came to us on August 29th. Having two Dobies at home again brings back such good memories of having you and your sister Sadie here with us. ALTHOUGH NO PUPS CAN EVER TAKE YOUR PLACES!!
We all miss you so much and keep you here at home in our beautiful memories of you.
We will always love you Boo-Boo Boy!

Hi sweet litttle man!

Dear Jake: Hi sweetie. I just wanted you to know that the older your little sister Tia gets the more she exhibits some of your goofy traits! I really don't think it's a coincidence either! Just like we still hear you upstairs sometimes, I think you have something to do with teaching Tia some of your old tricks! It's something we certainly get a kick out of! I hope you and Sadie are having fun at the Bridge with all your new friends! We all love you and miss you so much!

Another Christmas without you

Well Jake, this is our 3rd Christmas without you. We all still miss you so much, our little boo-boo boy. You'll get to celebrate with your sister, Sadie this year. There are so many good memories of the two of you together at Christmas. Those memories will forever bless us.
We hope you and Sadie have a grand ol' time at the Bridge this Christmas. Don't forget to look for your stocking. It's filled with love.
Love you forever and ever, Mom, Dad and the whole gang.
p.s. Your boy Chris sends you a special hug!
