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!

One of my happiest memories of Goliath is the little ritual he went through each and every night of his life.

Just before it was time for us to go to bed for the night, he would go through what my hubby and I called "The Last Hoorah."

Goliath would bring one of whichever toys he chose and drop it in either my hubby's lap or my lap. It was though he had this last burst of energy for the night. Then he would go absolutely nuts running around like he was on a race track like a tazmanian devil grrrrrrring all the way.

When this burst of energy and display of his rambunctioness was finished, he would bark at us and head for the stairs, telling us it was time for us to go to bed.
So we would go to bed where after he heard the click of the closing of my eyeglasses, he would snuggle in as close as he could to me in my arms, give me a soft little lick on my face, and fall asleep immediately with his soft snore.
