Post Your Happy Memories Here Options

I love all the tributes, stories, poems, etc that everyone puts down for their beloved pets. In order for me to deal with my dear Smokey being gone, I've been trying to think of all the things he did that made me laugh, smile, or feel so incredibly loved by him. I was hoping I could start a thread where we could each in turn share something amazing about our passed furbabies.

I'll start..

Smokey used to give me what I called 'smokey-kisses' he would actually give me a kiss on a spot on my arm or leg, or sometimes my face if he was sleeping on my head (he usually did) These weren't licks, but much more humanlike kisses, and they were so sweet. I could even request them from him too!
Smokey would also sing in the bathtub, join me in the shower, and sleep on my head.

Ever since Smokey passed, Kramer has started his version of Smokey-kisses, he's not able to give them the same way, but he does a random one or two licks that he NEVER did before Smokey left us, a little odd ??

Iggie was a polydactyl tabby I had for a short 3 years when I was a teenager, he actually taught himself to pee in the toilet !! We thought my little sis wasn't flushing the potty - lol then I walked past the bathroom one day, and there was iggie, half in / half out using it!! It was such a trip!

Iggiecat,
That's such a great idea. Ironically enough, I woke up yesterday morning and remembered something that Duffy used to do when he was younger:

I used to do stomach crunches on the living room floor. He would come right over to me and start sniffing my face and then licking me. I would be on the floor, and I remember looking up at his sweet little face as he was probably wondering what the heck I was doing, lying on the floor. I was never able to finish a set of crunches after he would start licking me because I was too busy laughing by this time. What a wonderful memory that was and it was nice to remember out of the blue yesterday morning. Of course, these memories are bittersweet, because what we wouldn't do just to have that happen one more time, right? It still left me in a better mood all day afterward. I was lucky to have shared that with him.

Smokey sounds adorable. I'm sure his kisses were sweet too.
