A Sad Good-Bye

As many of you know we got a puppy last Christmas for the boys.  Cole named him Jake.  He was such a sweet pup and the two of got along great.  I get up around 5:30am and he would hang and sit with me while I worked.  Then I would get Cole up around 7:30am.  In his cage he would go since he was a little hyper still and would knock the boys over.  Poor Caden was so scared of him.  We hoped it would get better but a year later no go and poor Jake spent most of his time in the cage our outside barking and annoying the neighbors … UGH. 

I finally had to put him up for sale .  I felt bad that he would spend his day in a cage due to Caden home and the tears that Jake was scaring him.  A very nice lady with her daughter (who was visiting from college) came to meet Jake.  Earlier that day Jake had jumped and accidently scratched his face and was having a melt down for HOURS over it hurting … UGH.  He got himself so worked up he got a fever and couldn’t stop crying.  But it was good since Jake was very attached to me for me not to be there when he meet his new mommy.  I was sad to see him go, Cole was a little bit. 

I’m sorry Jake I really wish this worked out, but I’m glad we found you a new loving home.
