As if today weren't emotional enough, i just learned from our mail carrier, Marty, that Jake ... a 15 year old doggie who walked past the house a couple of times a day, with his humans ... has crossed over to the rainbow bridge.
Jake walked slowly, unless he saw Marty, who he knew always had treats for him. And if he saw me sitting on the porch, he had some extra energy to cross the street to see if i had treats for him too. Though difficult for him, he always tried to climb the steps to reach me, but i handed the treats to his humans, his tail started waging and he wouldn't continue the walk until he received a treat. It always made me smile to see Jake's humans walking him, the colder days, Jake moved a little slower, and humans were so patient.
i know it's the circle of life, i just don't handle it very well. i'm really going to miss that silly doggie walking past the house everyday and how he always got a burst of energy if he knew treats were available. Rest in glorious peace Jake.
