Jake

Sir Jake Edwards Garrett, "Jake", was buried at sea at 1500 hrs, 08.09.16. Jake was born June 25th, 2001 and lived just past his 15th birthday. He was my best friend. He was loyal, loving, playful, intelligent, obedient and friendly. He liked to ride and had been in 46 states. As of this summer, Jake had accumulated over 1 million highway miles, has seen both oceans, the Cascades, the Rockies, the Appalachians and everything in between. He lost his battle to esophogal cancer and had stopped eating two days ago. I held him in my arms today and we talked about horses and cows. He gave me his last smile and left this world. He will be missed.
