Jake was born late October. I will never forget the day he was born. He was stuck in the birth canal. I could see his little face ( he was no longer in a sack) and he looked like he had passed away. I panicked and put Sasha (his mommy) in my car and rushed her to the animal hospital. I reached back to get her and I saw little Jacob on the floor in my backseat. And he was alive! I wrapped him in my shirt and I brought them home. He was a miracle. Watching him grow brought so much joy to our lives. He was born with a tail and everyone told us we needed to dock it but I refused. His tail gave him spunk. As he grew it started to curl and was the cutest thing. His eyes opened a little bit later then they should have. I was worried that he was going to be blind. But, I had nothing to worry about. When his eyes opened, they were beautiful! They were blue-green and precious. I used to coddle him like a baby and we would stare into each others eyes. It gave us a special bond. I knew he felt safe with me. He just laid there so calmly and would fall asleep in my arms as I stroked his tiny head. Jake had a tiny playful growl that I cannot get out of my head. He was so curious and loving. He greeted us every morning and every night when we got home. And boy did he love his parents. He slept with them every night. His favorite toy was a tigger head that fell off of my sock. I could not find it anywhere and then saw him chewing it like it was his own. I decided to give it to him and he played with it everyday. Jake was very vocal. He wanted everyone to know he was around. Before he died, he had just gotten the hang of running. I watched him run up and down the hallway with such pride. He also loved to go into the bathroom and rub his body all over our bathroom mats. He was known to bite Jesse's feet and steal my socks. No matter how much time passes by, I will never forget Jacob. Because we live in a small apartment, I knew it was not fair to keep him. I wanted him to be able to play outside and it broke my heart learning that I needed to give him away in a couple of weeks. But, It looks like God wanted him. I no longer need to find him a home because his home is now heaven. We could not have asked for a more perfect place for our tiny angel to be.
