It’s with a heavy heart that Matt and I tell you that the light of our lives, Jake, passed on Sunday. He had an undetected tumor in his spleen that ruptured suddenly and thankfully didn’t suffer as much as we are right now. Jake was the first dog either of us had ever had. He made his way in a houseful of cats and even trained us on how to be good dog people. He was pure love and gentleness on four legs but knew how to trick us into getting a second round of treats! He never did get used to riding in the car, but he tolerated it long enough to get to Bowering Park, and occasionally to the grandparents for a visit (and unprotected catfood). To say that he changed our lives is an understatement.

How do you say goodbye to someone who was always at your side? We weren’t sure of the life you lived before us, but once you came into our home we knew we couldn’t let you go, and you gave us 5 great years!

Love Glenda, Albert, Meeko and baby Nathan

I feel in love with Roy during my very first shift as a volunteer for Beagle Paws. His cute little face melted my heart as soon as I walked through the door. Roy enjoyed going for walks, laying in the warmth of the sun, belly scratches and treats, especially treats! His bark was unmistakable, it always made me smile.

Roy enjoyed a little vacation at our home a week before it was his time to cross the Rainbow Bridge. Although we didn’t know his time had come while with us, Terrence and I take comfort in knowing that some of his last days were spent in our home where he was welcomed and loved as one of our family. He will always have a special place in my heart.

Roy was very lucky to have been cared for and loved by so many of the volunteers at Beagle Paws. I’m so grateful that he got to spend his last months in a place where he was warm, safe and loved.

You’ll be missed Roy.

Love, Melissa

All of the volunteers at Beagle Paws miss you so much sweet boy!
