Puki by Steve / Bye Pook

My pain in the rear, constant pest and best friend of 20 years has been gone for a month. Four years ago we moved aboard Terrapin a 45′ Power Boat that we called home. Puki was happy shedding grey hair all over the curtains, tracking litter into bed, meowing at 4 AM for no reason and generally making a nuisance out of herself. Just when I thought it was time to put her in a bag with a rock and toss her over the side, she would stretch out on my chest and place her tiny paw on my chin and smile at me. I miss you girl and am so sad about how you ended up…I guess we always knew you would slip, but it still makes me weep
to think of you in the water…

 

Bye Kitty,
Puki
