Coco was hard to give up. I know she'll have a good home with people who love her.
Jake was harder to part with. Much harder, Painfully hard. He was my first dog. No, he is my first dog. I guess in a way I'll never really give him up, not completely.
But I feel like I let him down. I promised him when I adopted him, after his hard life on the streets and having been hit by a car, that he would always be safe now. That he would always have a home with me.
And somehow life got in the way. I didn't hold up my end of the bargain.
I'm sorry Jake. I love you. I didn't realize how much until now.
I hope you'll forgive me.
Be good and don't forget me, please.
I will never forget you.

I have tears in my eyes. I remember the early days when Jake was barely walking and a lot of his fur was gone. I remember how he got his name. You know, Dave, you didn't break any promises and you didn't let Jake down. You saved his life and gave him love. He WILL always be safe and he WILL have a loving home. And he'll always have your love, too. Love Mim
