Jake passed away.

20 years ago

Hey, remember when I said that Jake my muscovy girl was having problems breathing, but she got better? Well, I was so thankful she was better. She meant the world to me, and I loved her so much.

If you remember her sister named Topaz got killed in June. Jake and Topaz were always together, and since Topaz was gone Jake didn't act the same anymore. She was grieving for her sister. She just couldn't go on without her, and as every day went by I could tell how much she missed Topaz.

I went to feed the ducks oneday....I fed Reese...then when I went to feed the ducks I saw Jake. I was hoping it wasn't Jake, but I knew it was. She was lying on her back, and she had already gone. I just wish I could have told her bye. She was the best duck I've ever had, and I miss her so so much.

She was one of the best ducks I've ever had. She was also a very good friend. She was more like a dog to me than a duck.

It's just very hard right now to deal with it. Thanks for litening everyone.

Genny

Oh Genny, I am so sorry about your Jake. Please try to take comfort in knowing that she and Topaz, like acorn said, will now always be swimming in clear water together. And probably always remembering you and what all you did for them. I know how much you love your animals...and I believe you give them your best.

I really believe that animals come into our lives for a reason...to teach us something. Look how much you have learned! And the compassion and love you have given to them will come back to you again and again.

Genny, my heart is broken for you...I know what you are feeling. Hugs to you...

Thank-you so much everyone. It's good to have you all to talk to at times like this.

I miss her so much, and now it's harder, because now Jake and Topaz are both gone. The only thing that makes it a little easier is knowing that they are together like they use to be here on earth.

I have learned so much by just having ducks. Jake and Topaz were our first 2 ducks, and we bonded with both of them so much, and they trusted us with their lives. About 1 year and a half ago a rat snake got in Jake's nest, and I saw it. She was trying to peck it, but she wasn't hurting it. I was so afraid that she was going to get bit, so I grabbed the snake out with my hands and threw it! She looked up at me afterwards as if to say 'Thankyou Genny, you saved my eggs!' She was so pretty. Jake was the pretty one, and Topaz was the cute one.

Well, I gotta go, talk to you all later. Genny
