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!

I had a dog a few years back, he was an Aussie Shepard named Jack. He was about the smartest dog I ever had.

I used to work late sometimes but would always leave enough food for the big boy to get along. Anyhow, you know how some dogs get into the garbage and you end up coming home to the tipped over can in your kitchen and garbage everywhere?

Well I think garbage wasn't good enough for ole Jack. Instead of coming home to the garbage tipped over, I came home to the fridge standing wide open and lunch meat baggies and other food packages strewn around the kitchen.
Of course I would look in the living room and see him lying in his bed, looking guilty as sin.

After that I ended up putting a hasp on the fridge door to keep the thing shut when I wasn't home.


Another time with him involving the human food was when I had a friend over for pizza and movies. Well this was a newer friend of mine and he didn't know Jack all too well. He left his plate with a slice of pizza sitting on the coffee table and we went to get some drinks in the kitchen. I turned around and looked in the living room just in time to see Jack, head sideways snagging that piece of pizza right off the plate. We both had a good laugh about that.
