Dear HarleyBob,

I'm sorry to hear about Jakie, please accept my condolences. I'd like to leave you with a poem by Rudyard Kipling to remember Jakie by.

Four-Feet

I have done mostly what most men do,
And pushed it out of my mind;
But I can't forget, if I wanted to,
Four-Feet trotting behind.

Day after day, the whole day through --
Wherever my road inclined --
Four-feet said, "I am coming with you!"
And trotted along behind.

Now I must go by some other round, --
Which I shall never find --
Somewhere that does not carry the sound
Of Four-Feet trotting behind.

Best Wishes,
Avalon
