2004
We
had a
very
busy
weekend......we
went
to
Ottawa
for
the
OKC
shows
at the
end of
May
and
sandwiched
in the
middle
on
Saturday
evening
was a
wedding
in
Montreal!
But we
did it
all.
But
the
one
who
really
did
it
all
was
Jake.
Jake,
who
will
be
14
this
year
managed
to
wow
the
crowds
with
his
joie
de
vivre,
showmanship,
and
his
movement.
There
were
20
veterans
entered
-
evenly
divided
in
7-10
yrs
and
then
10+
yrs.
Some
very
lovely
veterans
in
the
ring
all
with
proud
owners
at
the
end
of
the
lead.
Watching
them
can
and
does
bring
tears.
I
must
say
that
when
I
went
in
the
ring
with
Jake
I
was
very
proud of
this
grand
old
guy.
He
showed
with
all
his
heart
as
he
always
has
and
you
could
tell
he
loved
every
minute
of
it.
In
our
age
group
there
were some
lovely
dogs/bitches
who
moved
beautifully
around
the
ring.
Since
we
were
last
in
line
I
could
watch
them
all.
Then
we
went
around
and
Jake
just
turned
it
on.
It
brought
tears
to
my
eyes
to
see
this
dog
give
it
his
all.
Strong
and
true
he
moved
out
in
front
and
you
could
tell
he
was
enjoying
it
all.
We
came
to a
stop
and
he
stood
proud
and
tall
with
all
fours
planted
just
right
and
his
ears
and
shining
dark
eyes alert
and
waiting.
What
a
moment!!
He
won
the
10+
age
group
-
and
I
was
proud.
Then
we
went
back
in
with
the
7-10
winner
- a
lovely
Sheltie.
Again
we
went
around
and
up
and
back
and
then
around
again.
You
might
well
imagine
how
I
felt
when
the
judge
walked
up
to
us
and
gave
the
Best
Veteran
ribbon
to
Jake!!!!
Again
I
was
proud
....
and
tears
fell
from
my
eyes
over
this
wonderful
dog
who
never
quits
and
who
only
has
known
one
way
to
do
things
....
with
his
whole
heart.

great

Jake

HIC
- at
16
yrs,
8
mos,
16
days.
He
was a
rock,
a
patient
dog
with
puppies
with
whom
he
loved
to
play,
a
patient
dog
with
children
who
would
hold
on
to
him
and
take
their
first
steps,
a
dog
who
would
patiently
sit
by
my
side
of
the
bed
when
I
was
not
quite
awake
and
put
his
paw
in
my
hand
..... a
dog
with
a
wonderful
sense
of
balance
in
life,
a
dog
with
great
heart.
He
changed
and
graced
our
lives
with
his
presence.
Sadly
and
with
much
love
for
him.....
