Thankful for Jakey

 
 
 
 For the three days before Thanksgiving, our pawrents insisted we turn our blog over to them. We are worried they might embarrass themselves, but reluctantly agreed.
 
 
 Hi All! 
For the three days leading up to the (USA) Thanksgiving we wanted to show our gratitude for our three crazy, cute and lovable pack members.
 
 
 We saved the best for last....


Thankful for Jakey
 
 There are not enough words to explain how grateful we are to have this 17 1/2 year senior guy in our lives. He is an expert  at adapting to any situation. The final original member of Dory's Backyard,  he was such a good brother to Dory, Bilbo and Arty. He continues the roll of patient and kind brother with both Rosy and Sunny!
 
 
As Jakey has aged, something you may not know we are thankful for is....
He is a sound senior sleeper! In the 4 years or so since he has lost his hearing, this sweet boy curls up on the big bed at bedtime, falls asleep and sleeps until the alarm goes off and we start our day!

 We are so very blessed to have Jakey in our lives and cherish every day we have with him.
