Farewell Jake Krinkle Snake.

[Catherine]

Thank-you. 
We measure how long we have known our friends by which of our pets they remember. You actually remember Pigbert! It has been a lot of years.
I can't believe Jake was more than ten, but he was. Remember him as a baby? He seemed so unlikely to survive and yet he had such a strong will to live.  His name just seemed to happen and it was perfect for him.
Jake was a once in a lifetime pet. I will have other special pets in years to come, but Jake was his own person and he was special.

Sadly his tank still sits there empty, but not cleaned out. It takes time. I will have to do it soon because seeing the tank empty like that is getting to be too sad.
