I just got off the phone with the Veterinarian,

[JMCKUSICK]

68. He so loved our walks,

I'd start getting ready and I'd talk to him, like getting psyched up, and he would get up and always beat me to the door.

The long ones were the best, on those 70 degree days where we'd lay out in the sun by the pond, him either on me or nestled right next to me, I'd be talking to Butterflies and Dragon Flies and he'd be humming along with his purr.
