We found each other at a time in my life when I really needed you. I’ll miss your kneading, your drooling, your complete placation under the belly rub, waking up in the middle of the night with you pawing me for some love, being pushed to the side of the bed by your sprawl, and your ability to make everyone you met fall for you. I hate to see you go. You were one of my oldest friends and I’ll miss you terribly.
