Jake was the best!   He was loyal, loving, protective, sweet, obedient.   In his 12 1/2 years he never gave us grief, he slept in our bed (until children came along).  He had his spot on the couch and all who visited knew that was his spot.   He loved to go fishing, camping, he loved to fetch (FOR HOURS), he loved to go mountain bike riding, he loved to drag dead wood out of the bush, he had an over abundance of "SQUEAKERS" and most of all he LOVED us and for that we are truly grateful.
