This is Jake, he is my 13-year-old Pembroke Welsch Corgi. Jake means the world to me, and has been a major part of my life growing up. When he was younger he used to love to play with rubber bands (he literally would fling them from his nail and tooth (Scouts honor)), and chase after me, whether we were in a parking lot, or in green grass. In his older age, he still loves to play with rubber bands, even though not as much, and is a real cuddler.

A few weeks back he got really sick and we had to take him to an animal emergency room. He was diagnosed with old man’s syndrome, which will occasionally make him react like he has an ear infection, therefore being dizzy and not able to keep his lunch down, and has since got much better. He is still on the mend, and we are hoping that this sickness isn’t more than we think it is. He means the world to me, and I can’t imagine my life without him.

Do you have any pets? What are they like?
