Note to new folks that awhile back we had a fun thread where you substituted your pet's name with "The Guy/gal At the End of the Bar."
We said good-bye to our beloved dog, Trevor, this week and our hearts are broken. He was 17 years old and we were blessed to have him in our family for 15 years. I process by writing – but will limit myself to just a couple of stories here.
Our oldest child begged us for two years to get a dog. His PowerPoint presentation finally wore his parents down.
On 07/07/2007, our lucky day, we met Trevor at a shelter. He walked into the room, picked out four separate toys and dropped them at the feet of our two children (8 and 10 years old), my wife, and me. Who could resist that warm welcome?
When Trevor joined our household, we also had an elderly cat who definitely did not appreciate this intruder. Trevor did his best to charm and warm up to the cat, all to no avail. The cat decided to own the second floor – and relegated Trevor to the first floor.
After a few months, our elderly cat became very ill. On her last evening with us, she was shivering severely. Trevor approached and slowly and gently laid down his head on top of her to warm her up. Our cat accepted this gesture and closed her eyes. I will never forget that touching moment between two dear creatures.
Trevor was my only dog. By day he was a Mama’s Boy – but at night he always slept at my side.
Trevor had a real good last day. We went on a walk. He got many snuggles and head rubs with our new cat who was his best pal. Also lots of peanut butter treats. He was a dear little puppers and has left a huge hole in our heart and home.

I hope your puppers is enjoying a sweet reunion right now with his kitty frenemy in pet heaven.
