I would feel like my entire world crumbled if we lost sarah and we have only had her 2 years now from 5 weeks old. I thought about what it would be like saying goodbye to her when it's time to put her to rest and just the thought ripes right threw me

I look at her when im sitting down and she comes rest her head on my chest and looks up at me with them brown eyes just begging for love and attention, some people have no clue to what joy and love a lab / dog can bring to an entire family and i can only pray and wish you the best Jim im sure Jake will send you a clone of what he meant to you and your family to try and fill that void he left when he went to doggy heaven.
