Almost a decade ago he came home with me from the shelter, and yesterday I had to say goodbye for the last time. But he had so much personality that I'll never forget him.
Kevin loved light strokes across the top of his head, his purr would take on a whistling chirp when he was really happy, and nothing would make him short-circuit like seeing a bird out the window.
Kevin loved to chase a ball and play fetch, one of his favorite things to do was simply take a walk back and forth through the hall with you at his side.
We learned to live with each other, we annoyed each other, but most of all we loved each other. Nothing will be able to fill the void his passing has created, but memories of him will keep me smiling long into the future.
I miss you buddy.
So sorry for your loss. It sounds as though you both did so much that was good for one another.
