My neighbors have 2 dogs Jake the Irish Setter and Wyatt the Beagle. Jake has been failing for a while now and during the night he decided to cross the Rainbow Bridge. I take care of them when they are gone or out for the day cos you know dogs need to use the yard for the bathroom not the litter box like my cats. Jake was a sweetheart, he would see me in the yard start barking and come bounding over and at times almost knock me down, he was basically bigger than I am. I loved that dog, and will miss him a lot. He was almost 16 which is old for a dog and I knew him for 14 of those years. RIP Jakie and I will see you some day. (I wish I had a picture of him but realize I do not).
I got his Christmas picture
