buttononthetopA personal note and why I may not be posting in the next few weeks...
I adopted him almost exactly nine years ago from a breeder. He wasn't any use to them because he was born with only one eye and he either needed to be adopted or they would put him down.
So I took him home without a second thought and never regretted it. Since he only had one eye, I just had to name him after a pirate and since he was pedigreed with an official fancy-pants family tree, I wanted to give him a suitably flamboyant name. I decided on Growltiger's Dread Pirate Roberts, but he was always Bob to me.
Whatever he lacked in the good-genes department, he more than made up for with his good humor, his quirky personality and affection. He'd just been to the vet last weekend and was given a clean bill of health, so I'm still kind of reeling from the shock. While he wasn't a lapcat, he was a great snuggler and the sweetest boy you could hope for.
If you have a pet – be it a dog, a cat, a horse, a hamster – give them a squeeze just because you can.
Goodbye, Bob – you will stay in my heart forever.
