Dean and Doreen...I am so sorry to hear this. As reading this, i think of our African Grey who is 10 now. Just couldn't imagine not hearing him imitate my cough, laugh, dogs names, singing "don't worry, be happy". You were definitely blessed with having him for so long. I am so grateful that I was one of the few that got to PARTY with him in OKC. Take care and know that we are thinking of you guys.

So sorry to hear Deane. I am sure that this is a tough time for you guys. I hope you all get through this alright.

Dean, very sorry to hear about Jake. I was privileged to have him poop on my shoulder and didn't mind it a bit. I think he knew we were bird people. He had a very good full life. -RP

awwwww... sorry for your loss.

Deane, my heart goes out to you at the loss of your much-loved companion. Many of us have gone through this sadness and can really be with you. Brings it all up again for me, and you are in my thoughts.Judy in San Diego

JL, SOOOO sorry for your loss! :( And you are correct, Jake was as much a part of your posts as your food pics were! He will be missed, but will not be forgotten. I'd venture to guess Jake is probably one of the best known Parrots that has lived! Thanks for making him part of our lives, too. Our true condolences.

Sorry to hear that.he was a fixture in your pics and on the site.
GOOD EATS AND GOOD FRIENDS

Very, very sorry for your loss.
In addition to your wonderful cooks, I as the others always enjoyed seeing Jake proudly perched nearby.
Pet or person, an established relationship is one to be cherished. I hope your fond memories will help you and your wife through this tough time. -
SO sad to hear. :( :( He will be missed.

So sorry for the loss of your dear family companion and our well loved forum mascot. I have always enjoyed the pictures with Jake in them. I'm sure he had a very happy life with you.
Condolences,

So sorry to hear this, my friend! What a great little guy he was! He was a part of each of us and we're all saddened....... :(

Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend Dean.

So sincerely sorry to hear of your loss. Whether a pet has feathers or fur makes no difference - it's what was inside that you both connected with. We have lost 4 of our 4 legged babies in 44 years of marriage and every one still brings a tear. Trust me - we understand.

Sorry for your loss

I'm so sorry about your loss. Eventhough OKC was our first fest last year, I could see how much Jake was part of the "gang". I'm really sorry for the empty space that this will leave in your heart. But God can heal.
-
Such sad news, Jake will be sorely missed. I always looked forward to your posts knowing he would be perched on the glass of tea looking over your cook. I kinda considered him the BGE mascot. It really hurts to know he is not with us anymore.
My heart goes out to you for your loss. -
Sorry to hear that. 25 years.....wow that is truly becoming family.
-
I am sorry Deane. Like many others, I always look forward to seeing him in your posts.
-
Man, SO sorry to hear about Jake. So sad ! :(
As bad as losing a child - 25 years -- WOW !
I'm for sure going to miss those infamous plating pics ! -
I have been a lurker on the board and this is my first post because my heart goes out to you for your loss.
I know how pets can become like your best friend.I know you gave Jake the best life imaginable.
Best Wishes to you and your familiy, and hope for just good memories of your amazing freind.

So sorry for your loss, Deane. I was looking forward to seeing Jake in OKC in a couple of months. We'll have to have a salutory beverage in his honor.

Oh Deane, my heart breaks for you on the loss of your friend. loosing a beloved pet is so hard. he was a big part of why I looked at your posts (the food did not hurt) 25 years ... what a lot you gave each other in love and stories. He was one of the eggers I had hoped to meet some day. hugs to you all.
-
SO sorry buddy.....pets are so much a part of our lives and love. I'll miss seeing him in your pics.

I am sorry for your loss. Jake is probably my favorite bird ever, just based on how many pictures of him I have seen of him perched next to awesome-looking food.
