So sorry for your loss, Kitty! Our pets burrow into our hearts in their own unique ways.
I am currently blessed with the best-behaved dog I have ever known. He’s a Bichon mix that I named Mr. Darcy (a perfect name because, in the words of my assistant, he instantly makes every woman fall in love with him 😆).
One of his nicknames is Casanova, because he really just wants love more than anything, but he’s not demanding, just a perfect gentleman, waiting patiently nearby if you want to give him attention. If you do, Darcy will get a little closer, and if you give him more, he’ll slowly keep moving closer.
He is super-obedient, like nearly Ella Enchanted level, but his biggest problem is rabbits. He sees one, and takes off like a shot, totally focused. Darcy always returns to me, but once he was so focused, he chased a rabbit under a car. When he came trotting back, there was a streak of grease on his forehead! Little did he know, we were out that morning to head to his grooming appointment, so I lucked out and didn’t need to give him a separate bath 😉
Darcy loves to sit outside and watch the world go by, but even more he loves to chew on the grass. No matter whether we’re at home, or up in the mountains, he will settle in around grass, particularly tall grass, and chew away. Unfortunately for him, and fortunately for me, he’s never figured out how to “pluck” the grass, so it always slides right through his teeth. I call it his “flossing”, because the grass is never damaged and that’s about all that happens. He’s so chill about it, I call him Ferdinand the Bull, because he’s thrilled to just sit, and taste every blade of grass he can.
His tail is powerful for so little a dog. When I first got him, Darcy would sit by the door or wall, getting used to me, but his tail would be going so powerfully, I nicknamed it the Thunker, making so much noise I thought he must be hurting himself 😄. He sits by walls less often now, but just last week I took him with me when I visited my sister. After 10 min or so, my sister & nephew were trying to figure out how someone had snuck to the front door & was knocking. I died laughing trying to convince them that the pounding was nothing more than his tail, echoing in their steel door. It took ages for them to be convinced he could be so loud & absolutely not hurt! Darcy was so chill, he was simply watching & waiting for them to give him more love! ❤️
I hope you can remember all the good memories that you shared together! Thank you for all you do!
