I am losing Jake Krinkle Snake

[Catherine]

I have put a lot into giving Jake TLC and supportive therapy. He is looking a little better. Soaking in warm water with massages has helped him to regain some mobility. He has stiffened up and I think he was dehydrated because he couldn't drink. I have been holding him to the water dish so he can drink as much as he needs. He is drinking a lot, but maybe he needs more water right now. I think the soft pad and flannel blanket are making him feel more comfortable. Jake has a lot of spirit and even though his body has always failed him, he still has will to live.  Whatever time we have left is special and I cherish it.
