Jake:Jacob, Jakey, Jakeypooh,the poohberry, Dad's good good boy, the very best pussycat in the whole world.he answered to all of those and lived up to the accolades, He was brought home in 1998 at 4 months of age from the Humane Society .Upon arrival he was greeted with a bath from big sister KitKat and until her death was inseperable from her. An all too brief encounter with Maggie who was only here for a week before she died at the vets from a stroke then a month or so alone with Dad before we both welcomed Jade into our lives...Jake & Jade were best of buddies from their first meeting, almost always curled up together except for the times Jade would come to bed and cuddle dad for a few minutes and of course the wonderful times that Jake would spend beside his dad at the puter, he wasn't a cuddler and tolerated laps for mere minutes at a time but was always willing to lay at arms length away and gladly accepted all the belly rubs and chin scritches and even belly kisses that were given to him so lavishly.... there is a bare spot on my heart tonight only hours after his passing at only 6 years old . Lungs and heart were injured in some fall this afternoon while I was at work, He was perfectly fine this morning but was breathing heavily mouth open when I got home from work, I rushed him to the vets where xrays showed the damage,misshappen diaphram and heart,fluid in the lungs. A fall from the upstairs banister is the only feasible explanation though NO explanation seems good enough to me!The vet gave him a 10% chance of surviving the night so tears filling my eyes I brought him home from the vets and got him into the house where he spent his entire life... and he died in my arms while being told how very much I love him.He was taken outdoors one last time and tearfully buried next to his sister KitKat beside Dad's favorite chair near the ponds where we will still spend hour upon hour together...I will never forget him as long as I shall live and will always call him the best pussycat in the world. Sadly he is missed by Dad and Jade.
