Dog: Jake – Richmond, BC Canada (03/31/1996 – 04/17/2010)

Jakie (Flat Coated-Retriever) was a gentle, loving soul. He always let us know he loved us and we always let him know we loved him unconditionally.

Jake was our loving family member and companion. We swam, hiked, canoed, fished, camped, ran, wrestled, slept and took long walks just to be together.

He could tee up golf balls and put three tennis balls in his mouth at once. We always said that if he could express one wish, it would to be let loose at a driving range so he could “fetchum up” or “get the golfs”!

We are devastated and in shock at the prospect of not seeing you each day, hearing your big voice or feeling your warm tongue on our faces.

We will miss your wagging tail at the sight of us, your nose pressed against the patio door or rolling on the grass with your tennis ball between your paws.

We will love you forever and will never, ever forget you sweet boy.

You were tired and it was time.

All our love forever,
Namaste buddha-boy!

Dog: Callie – West Chester, Ohio (1998 – 04/28/2010)

Callie (or California Hollister Ann Blevins Jones ) was a Black Lab/Chow and was the best dog a person could have.

She was given to my family by a lady in our local newspaper looking for a home for her.

Callie and I developed a strong bond through out our eight years together. She always followed me around, loved car rides, and going shopping with her mommy!

I got married and had a baby. We had no choice but to move from Ohio to Texas because my husband was in the military.

But because she was a Chow mix, I could not take her to live with me since we had to get a apartment.

Not even two weeks after we left her in Ohio she passed away, not being with me anymore she mourned herself.

I love you Callie forever and ever and I am so sorry !

Where ever this obituary goes, it is the best I can do to honor my best and only true friend.

You never gave up on me during my hard times as a child and high school. I at least owe it to you, to do something.

You will always be my Miss Callie. I will never have another you !!!!
