Jake passed away today

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

My dog Jake died today. Im so sad. He was my best friend growing up. I remember those tough times in grade 8 and 9 when I was the geeky nerd in school. He was my friend when no one else was. We hung out all the time. Jake is was 14 years old. I found out today that he died a tragic death by getting hit by a train. My family buried him on our familys field on my reservation. Today, I am just so sad.
