It's with an incredibly heavy and sad heart I ask for your warm and positive thoughts for my protector, guide and friend Jake the dog.
Jake is a 10 year old Husky/Rottweiler "Heinz '57" canine of unknown origin and breeding. He's been my constant companion for the last 5 years, and is without a doubt the smartest, kindest and most loving pet I have ever spent time with. He came to me when I met my partner, and has been a positive influence and spirit in my life ever since, staying beside me though thick and thin, tough times and happiness. I would simply do absolutely anything for this dog.
Jake was a rescue dog, who came to my partner about 9 years ago... he was thin, weak, and had an incredible tumor on his tail. He'd been found roaming the streets of the lower mainland of BC, and subsequently was passed from pet shop to pet shop, shelter to shelter, depressed, losing weight and refusing to eat. Luckily for him, he was delivered to my extremely kind and passionate life partner, as a last chance... if she didn't accept him and keep him, it would have been his end. When the SPCA person dropped him off with a can of pumpkin for food (to help with his diarrhea, she said that he hadn't eaten anything in days). Luckily for Jake, my partner is a chef and had brought home some Osso Bucco that was leftover at the restaurant, which he gobbled up forthwith.... that was the start of his comeback, and every day since he has brought us immense joy, serenity, and companionship.
Jake has been feeling noticeably poorly for the past few days; a great change from his usual spunky self. and we took him to the vet today only to find out that he has some internal bleeding going on. We are currently awaiting test results, which will tell us if he is going to pull through, or if we will have to put him down tomorrow.
Knowing the combined effort of positive energy and intention, we humbly and sincerely request that each of you reading this thread send Jake some positive vibes... he's all alone at the vet right now, receiving IV fluids overnight in case he is a candidate for surgery tomorrow- he needs to be fully hydrated for his organs to survive the surgery, and due to the internal bleeding has become dehydrated even though we have been plying him with water and treats- at least as much as he was willing to take.
Of course, we are simply gutted... devastated.. torn apart, as we didn't have any clues or time to prepare ourselves.
Please, give your pets a hug for us and send Jake some positive vibes and hopefully he can pull through this and remain with us... giving us more time to enjoy his incredible self.
Jake, we love you pupper, please hold on and give us more time to spend with you.. you are such an incredible and amazing part of our lives.
