I took you home with me when you were eight weeks old. You were so beautiful and your fur was shiny jet black. You had the most amazing amber colored eyes I had ever seen.
You were pretty much the loner type but mine was the lap you always wanted to lay on. You would tuck your face under my neck and purr so loudly and when I would ask for kisses you would but your head on my chin. You were such a good boy and so loving.
You always had things happen to you although I know you didn’t like to fight like the time I noticed you were laying in the bed that I had made for you on the porch and you seemed not to want to move around much so I knew something was wrong. When I picked you up thats when I noticed the small hole in your chest where some animal had bitten you. Well, you came through that with the help of the local vet and was soon back to your old self again.
You had several little things happen after that like the foxtail in your eye, the scratch marks on your back side, the boo boo on your tail and the one on your head. Sometimes you would stay gone all day but you were always
there at dinner time.
I don’t know what happened to you that day but somehow you made it home to your little bed on the porch. When I found you your face was swollen and your left eye was almost shut. I thought maybe you had been stung by something so I rushed you to the vet.
After looking at you he said the left side of your face had been hit but he didn’t know what may have caused it. I gave you medicine for your pain and kept you in a nice quiet place in the house. You were such a fighter I thought you would make it through this too but you died early the next morning.
I’ll never know what happened to you because you couldn’t tell me but you knew that I loved you and
I know that you loved me.
I will always love you and you are forever in my heart,
