So Long Jake

Little Jake, my brother’s dog, passed away yesterday. He was 13.

My brother will be the first to tell you that most days Jake was a real pain in the… Jake would constantly bark for no apparent reason other than to hear his own voice and he was always begging for table scraps. Near . . . → Read More: So Long Jake
