"Big Jake"
You were not always "Big Jake". Once upon a time, you were the "Free to Good Home" puppy, who fit in the palm of our hands. Back then, you were "Little Jake". Punkin became your surrogate mother, protecting you from all the others! It was not long before you outgrew her in size, growing and growing!   Soon after, the doggie door had to be enlarged. A human could of fit through it.  We didn't worry... because we knew you would be on the other side of the door, protecting the house.  What a sight you were to those meeting you for the first time! You loved to steal the toys from the little dogs and hide them all over. The littlest dog in the house became your wrestling partner till the very end, even though you outweighed her by 115 lbs, you were so cautious with your little buddy. My gentle giant, whose body took you from us too soon.
Into the Lord's arm's, whole and healthy.. waiting for that time when we can be there, to cross the Rainbow Bridge together!  Missing you till then my "Big Jake"
