228
My very best buddy, best pal died today.
(hexbear.net)
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.
Update: Thank you all so much. Sorry I had to vent with a sad post.
I buried him in the shade of a cherry tree. Rest easy pal.
Communities are for supporting one another. That sounds like a beautiful place for a beloved friend.
You gotta feel your feelings. Losing a pet is hard. You should have seen me at the vet when my Cockatiel died, I was wailing like a banshee! (Sorry to make it about me, I just want you to know you're not alone and it's normal to feel how you do.)
In other words, let it all out, we don't mind at all.
Cherry trees are beautiful. I bet he's marking it in the afterlife hahaha
