“I know you haven’t made your mind up yet, but I would never do you wrong. I knew it from the moment that we met, no doubt in my mind where you belong…

…no there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do, go to the end of the earth for you, to make you feel my love.”

I love you, bug. Forever. xoxo

  1. I’m so sorry you had to say “see you later” to Jake. We never have enough time with them. You love your boys so much and I know they love you. My heart is with you as you travel this road again.

  2. I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s the hardest thing about having these 4-legged friends. I’m glad he and Melvin can be together again. My thoughts are with you.

  3. My heart is just broken for your loss of Melvin. I’m sure that my beautiful 14 1/2 year old girl (boxer) Noel is showing him how much fun he is in for at the Rainbow Bridge. ((HUGS)) for you at this time of grief (Noel just passed on a couple of days ago)

  4. My heart breaks for you and I am so very sorry for your loss. It has been sad, beautiful and at times, funny, following Jake’s story. Much love to you and may that dear little fellow rest in peace, knowing that he could not have been more loved xox

  13. I loved you like you belonged to me! You will be truly missed! I’m so sorry for your loss Tracey, I wish I could be there and give you a big hug and make things better! You are in my thoughts and prayers I will miss Jake so much but it comforts me to know he is with his big brother Melvin and my DannyBoy now!

  14. Tracey – our hearts go out to you. As Sachi said, “They really scored jackpot on this earth to have you as their person”. I can’t say it better. Thank you for sharing both Jake and Melvin’s journeys with us. I too have learned so much from you along the way. As a wise woman said, “Despite great loss, love lives on”. (Can’t say it better than that, either). Many hugs from Boise!

  15. Oh, Tracey. I’m so, so sorry. It is always, always too soon. I’ve been thinking about you and Jake every day, and now I’ll think of him with Melvin, being knuckleheads together again. Light and love and hugs and peace for you, dear friend.

  16. It’s so hard to see them go! We lost Chewie a few weeks ago and my house & heart have not been the same. Fingers crossed they are in a better place and we both find a new FBRN baby to welcome into our hearts.
