Jake - my baby

[Pawla]

RIP Jake. What a beautiful boy. It is so very hard to lose someone you love. I lost my baby on March 5th. My 16 year old cat died due to the pet food recall. I will be thinking of you and praying your family is alright.

Thanks again everybody for your very kind words about Jake and for myself. I loved Jake with all my heart and miss him dreadfully every day. It was hard having to put the post in the proper place though and I do apologize for putting it in the wrong place first time round. I cant wait to pick him up in his casket this week and to bring him home again. I complained to the
waterways in the UK and they said that there is nothing that they can do so I have now gone to the papers to tell them our story and just hope that it will make other people aware of Wells disease as we had never heard of it before. My blood test results havent come back yet so I am keeping my fingers crossed that I am ok as this disease can destroy humans as well as dogs. Please please dont let your dogs drink from ponds or reservoirs.
I know my baby will be over the rainbow bridge now and that he will be there for me when my time comes. He was my handsome boy.

I'm glad you posted this here!
I for one never heard of this and don't know if it's in the US as well... but It's better to be safe than sorry.

I'm so sorry for the pain you've felt after lossing your Jake, please know that you're not alone. We all grieve together, for our own pets and the pets of other's here on the board. We're a close knit group of people that love their animals like no one else does.
Kind of like a secret underground community.

We're all here for one another, please check back in when you can. Fell free to tell your favorite stories of Jake or tell us about the silly things he did. We'll listen!

I hope for the best for your blood work results and I pray you are healthy.

My heart goes out to you. We had to put our girl to sleep saturday may 19,2007. I know what you mean about the tears. I cry every day. I know she is in Heaven and you can rest a sure yours is their also. God will take care of them as he is takeing care of all of the animals. I know in time God will heal my broken heart and he will heal your broken heart. I will pray that all of your family blood test will come back being fine........God bless you all...kathy

Thanks again everybody for your very kind words. I am glad I have found this forum. I have never seen one like this before that is for pets. I know that not everybody is as animal friendly as we are and understand in a fashion but everybody here is genuinely concerned for other people and their pet friends. I miss my Jake more with each passing day to be honest as I am sure everybody misses their pet baby too and I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, what is left of it at the moment that is, thank you for helping me through a very difficult time.
My blood results havent come back yet but will let everybody know when they do. Dont forget to please NOT let your animals drink from any water other than what you provide for them and if me putting down on this forum what happened to my baby saves more dogs from dying of Wells disease then it will have been worth the upset that writing about Jake has caused me.
