Big Dog,
It's been more than a year now and I think of you most every day and speak of you often. In January I found a 6 year old hound dog in need of a home. I thought of you and Bub and just had to bring him home. I named him Fred and we have become great friends. But he will never replace you or Bub. I love you more than I ever thought a man could love a dog. You were always more than a dog, you were my boy. I miss and love you deeply.
See ya on the rainbow bridge old friend.

You were one of a kind and our lives were better having you as a part of it, you were our buddy, our baby, and our faithful friend. We will meet you, Bub, and Emmie at Rainbow Bridge some day and we will all be together again.
We love you and miss you our precious Big Dog.

I first saw him while helping a friend build an engine for his truck. He quickly showed me he was not the Alpha dog of the litter, but was definitly number 2. He was one of 14 born to a huge English Mastiff and sired by a large Bull Mastiff. I watched those puppies for a couple of weeks. I made a deal in return for the engine work and some cash and brought him home. I told Tracy " this is a big strong dog and he needs a strong name." Being a big John Wayne fan I picked the name Jake from the movie Big Jake. His full name was actually Jacob Aloxious Gordy. I know is a little much, but so was he.
He was a little trying as a puppy. We had to lock horns a couple of times, but I showed him who the boss was. He was a great guy and loved by all. We shared him in the family, but he knew he was my buddy. After all I was the one who brought him home for everyone to enjoy.
We were beyond tight for 10 years. I have talked to him about more things than I have told some people. He would just look at me with the most caring eyes as if to say "it will be OK dad." I will always remember him sitting on the couch like a human and looking at us like we were stupid for being amazed. He was the most human like animal I have ever had the pleasure of being around.
I will always Love and Miss you buddy....
I will see you and the rest of the crew on the Rainbow bridge one day.....

I am Jakes mawmaw and I love him very much. I will miss him meeting me at the door. I would always say to him "Mawmaw is here".
A few years ago I had surgery on my foot and had to stay off of it,so I was staying with Bryan and Tracy so that Tracy could be with me all day and take care of me. I was useing a walker to get around and had gone into the other room to get something. On my way back I had just got into the living room when I sllipped and me and the walker both went backwards and landed in the floor. Tracy couldn't get me up, but jake had run over to me and was standing in front of me. I grabbed hold of his collar and Jake stood firm and you could see his muscles tighten and him planting his feet in the floor. Tracy pushed from behind and Jake pulled from the front and both of them got me up off the floor. That's how smart Jake was. He knew Tracy needed help to get me up and he was right there to help.

I've only had the priveldge of knowing Jake for the past two years, but I tell you what, It only takes knowing him two minutes to fall in love with him. I remember the first time I met Big Dog, he looked intimidating, but that passed really quickly!! When Tracy would bring him to the office, I would post on Facebook, "Got our little visitor here today". Little being the Key word. Big dog was definitely one of kind, you could tell what he was thinking by the way he looked at you with those big beautiful eyes. And sharing my sausage biscuit with him, I enjoyed that as much as he enjoyed getting a bite. Yes, half the biscuit was a taste for Jake, but he would take it and then look at me, like...where's the rest of it? lol. I loved going to bible study and getting to see him. One night, we were watching a video, and he laid in the chase next to me all night. It was such a great feeling sitting there next to him, enjoying his company. Jake, know that you touched our lives and your memory will remain forever. Tell Emmy, I haven't forgotten her either and her herding me out of bible study. Until we meet again Big Dog XOXOXOXO

Jake was born on March 27,2004. He was 6 weeks old when my husband Bryan brought him home to "see if we wanted to keep him". He knew what he was doing, No way he was bringing a puppy in my house and us not keep him. Especially one with a face like Jakes'. The first night we had him I put a diaper on him, something I learned from Bub our Bassett Hound, puppies do wet the bed. As I was getting him ready for bed Bryan asked what I was doing. I told him I was getting Jake ready for bed. He said " Honey, do you know how big that dog is going to get. He could get 200 pounds!" I responded with " It'll be alright" to sleep we went. As the days and weeks passed and we could literally watch Jake grow I realized we may have an issue here. He was already used to sleeping with Mom and Dad. So we came to a compromise. He got a pallet on the floor, but when Dad got up for work and after Jake went to potty, he got to get in the bed with Mom. Jake was the baby of the family, he was preceded in death by Ralph "Bub" Gordy and Emily "Emmie" Gordy. The three of them were quite a crew. They each taught the others their special traits and they each had their own personality. Jake was the gentle giant. He intimidated you when you first saw him but after you got to know him you couldn't help but love him. He loved you too. He also loved hugs and kisses and you were going to get them whether you wanted them or not. He would take that big ole paw and wrap it around your head and pull you right to him or take his tongue that must have been a foot long and swipe it up your face before you even knew what happened. He was a lot of fun and he was an awesome dog. And I hate referring to him as a dog because he seemed so human.
I am one of those people that believes animals go to heaven and I have my reasons for believing that. So as I sit here thinking about Jake and all he meant to me I can't help but see in my mind him, Bub, and Emmie running in a green field playing like they used to in my backyard. I can hear Bub's bay and Emmie's snippy bark and see Jake bringing that big ole paw down on them to hug them like he used too and knowing he's thinking "Hey guys, Where have you been? I've missed you."
I am going to miss you too Jake. And know that you will always be Mom's Boy!
