A strangers just a friend you do not
know................... yet
Hi my name is Jake but most people call me Jakey,
Welcome to my website
This is me
If you live in Maldon and walk your dog in the Prom Park or Longfield Park, there is a very strong possibility that we may have met.
Here briefly is my story
I was born on 7th July 2007 and lived for a while with a family in Rugby, my old mums father was ill and had to come and live with us.
I was very young, they were worried that in my attempts to get him to play I might trip him over, so as sad as she would be to see me go, it would be in every ones best interest to find me a new home.
She asked a Dog Rescue to help her with this and I was fostered with 5 different families over the next few months, and eventually adopted by a lady near Maldon Essex.
For some reason we didn't seem to understand each other, her other dog was very old, he did not want to go for walks or play, but I was only 9 months and raring to go, game for anything,
Perhaps
I should have realised that my constant barking, and chewing her
curtains and carpet would make her angry, even if I was bored.
She asked the rescue to take me back, and a day or so later my present mum and dad arrived to take me away, they do voluntary work for dog rescues, and were asked to foster me for a couple of days until I could be collected.
I was a bit confused when I got to their house, everything was packed up in boxes???
I heard them say they were moving, whatever that meant .
One morning a few days later, we went for a walk and afterwards they took me to a boarding kennel, I felt really sad as I watched them walk away, they were real fun and I enjoyed my games and walks with them, I thought that I had been abandoned again.
The next day they came back to collect me, I was so happy I thought my tail would come off, but they took me to an entirely different house,????
My now mum and dad were asked, by the rescue to try to re-home me in the Maldon area, and they did try, but I had grown to love them and did not want to be moved on again, so I decided to work my charm on them and was a really good boy.
One day I heard my Mum say ' I really don't think I can let him go', Yeeessss result......... I knew that I had found my forever home.
They soon taught me what was expected of me, and never once shouted at or got angry with me, I was not bored anymore and stopped chewing things up, and now I only bark when someone comes to the door
Here are some photos and videos of me and my pals of me and my pals
My mum says that I sleep in some odd positions

before I came to Maldon
And now
This is Archie
He was the first pal I met when I came to Maldon
Archie has soft chewy ears that I love to nibble, we used to wrestle and chase about, but Archie has had a bad back and so I have to be gentle with him now, though when he came round to see us last week it did not stop him eating all of the treats that I had hidden under my bed pad, he then went out in the garden an picked and ate all my dads runner beans that he could reach.

This is one of my best pals Lulu
Lulu chases me along the prom extension and onto the saltings,
we both usually get very muddy
Barney
Barney was a little dog who my Mum and Dad rescued from the police pound.
He was found a forever home here in Maldon with a very nice lady and her daughter, who both love him too bits, as he does them,
We sometimes see Barney and his Mum over the Prom Park, he even came to visit me once and we played in the garden.
