Goodbye, Little Doggie

Today we said goodbye to Jake, our 18+ year-old dog. The energetic little doggie who ran up to us near Powderhorn Park nearly 18 years ago had recently become nearly blind and deaf and was eating less and less, causing him to lose quite a bit of weight and become weak.  We are fortunate that he was a part of our lives for such a long time.  I will miss… seeing his big ears in the kitchen window after riding home from work and opening the back gate to put my bike in the garage; our near daily walks through the neighborhood; feeling his wet nose on my leg to get my attention; hearing his barking at a squirrel or at a dog being walked past our fence; his insistent placing of a toy near me to be thrown and, then, fetched by him; hearing his gentle whimper to wake me and let me know he needs to go out; seeing him run full-tilt across an open field or beach.  I’m glad you found us, little doggie.
