Jake R.I.P.

Just before the show this weekend, I got the call from the wife that our beloved cat Jake wasn't getting better and the best option was to end his suffering. It was a painful decision and the effects of his loss is still one that we will be processing for some time.

The wife got him in 2001 shortly before we met. And he was with us every step through our lives of meeting, getting married, every move, every new addition to the family, kids, jobs, etc. He was always my favorite of the furry guys and I am deeply saddened by his death. Its going to take a while to sink in but now that I am home after the long weekend of the show, I'm starting to feel it a bit. He was a valued member of our family and will definitely be missed. We had him cremated and will keep his ashes next to a big pic of him. His spirit will always be here, eating food and making us feel loved. Some pics to remember him:
