I'm truly sorry for your loss...

A beautiful Dog

wow..!!! love this family....cool work my friend...love it.

I know what you've been feelin', my friend, his grace and energy fills up all around!!! My heart's weepin' with yours deep inside, Chris.......Warm kiss............your friend..Guillaume.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss ~ Jake is such a handsome dog and the image is a very moving tribute to him.

I have a dog JUST like Jake, his name is Akela. I'm sorry that you have so much pain, you have done so much to help him. I enclosed this writing....hope it helps a bit. :)**** "Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they miss someone very special to them; who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. YOU have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together......." (~Anonymous)

Dear Chris.. I am so very sorry for you, and your family. To lose a beloved four-legged member of the family is terrible. Keep imagining him running free in animal's free paradise land. The love for him matters. He felt and feels it. Hugs, with my real affection.

really sorry for your loss..

sigh... poor Jake, poor you... sympathies :( & hugz

Coincedentally I have a 13 yr old Shepherd named Jake still in good health and a Yellow Lab Kane that turns 1 on Sunday... I can feel for you big time with your loss, and your money is no object as you tried to bring his prescious life back to good health... Just looking at what a beautiful dog Jake was in the image bring a tear to my eye... Take care of his sis!!!!!!

My golden, Hunter, was just diagnosed with advanced lymphosarcoma. Nothing to be done for it. For six years, he has only wanted me to be happy, to play, to share his joy in this world. My heart breaks to watch him struggle, to want to run, his spirit bright and strong and lively as ever as his body betrays him. I'm losing a brother, a friend and one of the best teachers i've ever known. It is very very hard for us both. Ask Jake if he could watch for Hunter, and ease his journey when he comes.

It's a privilege for some animals that they don't have to suffer until the end. I'm glad you could help him. For you and yours it's a great loss. It's always so hard to loose a pet. Feel very sorry for you, but i think Jake found his deserved peace. Lovely shots btw.

I'm really sorry for you... Jake was sweet doggie, wasn't he ? At least that's how he looks on this pictures... Poor guy, I hope he's in some kind of animal heaven... Take good care of Ginger.

I've had two goldens as well, they're wonderful dogs. Sorry to hear of your loss.

I am so sorry... i understand u. ;[ Wonderful shot... beauty dog. Kisses

Oh Chris! Gosh this is really awful! :( It is so hard to lose a pet.I have lost several in my life.. Jake looks like he was a wonderful friend. You did all you could for him! Jake was so blessed to have you as you were blessed to have him. Hope your hurt is less and less as time goes on. Warm Hugss,Patt

Ow, that really hurts. I had to put down my dog two years ago, and it still hurts. That said, she was suffering, and afterwards, I felt bad for not doing it sooner. Every dog has his or her day, and what a day it is. . .the perfect happiness of chasing a frisbee or eating something revolting, barking at foxes and licking fussy people in the face. Its a short life, but a perfect one.

Sorry I hadn't seen this sooner. My heart goes out to you Chris.... I know how hard it is to lose beloved pets. Huge hugs.... :~( He was a beautiful dog, and your tribute here is wonderful.

Sorry I came late here... I really feel sorry for you and your family. I know what it means to lose a beloved pet. It's a hard time! But you still have your beautiful memories! This is a wonderful tribute to your dog... he was really beautiful!

i am sorry, man... it is so unfortunate that our furry friends leave us in such a short time... i myself have two of these chaps and dread the day one of them moves on.. great tribute... my sincere sympothy.......
