Jake, our heart dog

Jake is doing better, he is off an on with the panting/pacing, but has slept 4 nights in a row, letting me sleep until 3:30 am instead of the mid night rides of Jake Revere.... He sometimes get stuck in tight spots and has to be re-routed by mommy.... He grew to 50 pounds by age 1 and has been the same weight for 13 years. He looks younger in black and white, the gray doesn't show. You many never see a color photo of ME again..... Good for Jake Good for ME.

Jake was having a ruff time, he keeps saying "Stop Hounding me with that Camera".  This may sound far-fetched, but he did say to me  "fur-real" mommy?

I am moving to the 'barking' lot if you don't stop following me... Jake says Thanks fur stopping by today.

UPDATE.. I created this post last Thursday for today. The three day week end and today, the panting/pacing is back and he is having trouble getting up and down. Fell off the chair at 2:30 am and I had to lift him up. After a calming treat and a Carprophen, about 40 minutes later, he can walk and get up and down.... the hips are going..
