He’s was one of the rare folks that wanted to hang out 24-7. Met him 4 years ago in front of a Kmart. He was in a box marked ‘free’.

We worked together, he liked to ride in our truck.
He was a master thief and relished in a good swipe.

He enjoyed the river and zoomies. And staring at me.

He was a working class guy who once chased a hated manager out of a place we would frequent. He received extra treats for this from the employees who were among his best friends.

I’m sorry I let you down bud. You should still be here with me. I’ll miss you.

    I lost my best friend and first “dog I adopted as an adult” a few weeks ago and it was so hard. Something that surprised me was how much comfort I took in people offering sympathy. You gave him a good life and loved him every day. May we all be so lucky
