Zuko was never happier than on the couch, under a blanket, in his mom’s lap. He loved chin scritches and forehead kisses, and laying in the sunny spot next to the window on his heated bed. He liked giving little baby kisses to your fingers (and your face, if you let him), and would sometimes curl up in the crook of your arm to be cradled like a baby. He always wanted to sniff your food, or whatever you were holding - especially if it crinkled - and then decide he wasn’t interested; he was just curious, and wanted to be included. He was constantly yelling, and every time he would pause and wait a second for you to respond, so you were having a conversation.
Zuko leaves behind his two mamas, Kate and Chris, who loved him to obsession, and will miss him very much, for a very long time.

We brought Rocko home in January of 2013. He was 8 weeks old and the sweetest baby. He was easy to train, a wonderful listener and immediately my best little friend. We were inseparable. For almost 14 years he was right by my side. Never aggressive, always happy to see me, the perfect buddy. Everyone who met him absolutely fell in love with him. The last week without him has been agony but I take some solace in the fact that he is now free. I miss his face and little eyes watching every move I make. His nickname was Puppalicious. And it suited him.

He loved our lakehouse. He loved to run out to the end of the dock and sniff the air. I snapped a picture of him doing this and it is one of my favorite pictures of him. He loved out boat. He was born for lake life.

Everything feels empty without him.

Mister Made of Flesh and Bone
I put my hand on Mister’s back
to feel the flesh and bone of him
and I was comforted.
By my pillow he curled to my hand
and my fingers found his toes
and the softest fur of his belly and chest.
We curved into each other,
cat and man,
and were comforted,
flesh and bone and heart.

Don’t You Love It
Don’t you love it
when your cat walks up to you
meows and looks at you
with that innocence you love
as much as you relish the surprising
size of his word-hoard,
the soft skirls and rumbles
from his chest or that he can’t help
sometimes sounding harsh
though what he means is love
or a simple request like
“Open the blinds, Richard.
Let’s sit in the sun.”

When Mister Moves
When Mister moves
I always set aside the book
or close the laptop
to watch him groom, or stretch,
which I especially love,
but once, blesséd moment,
he sneezed in his sleep
and it was so sweet
I couldn’t possibly put it in a poem,
but it touched me
and I laughed.

Pen to Paper
Again
man and cat
outside in the sun.
Ten million years
or an instant,
all breezes, all fugitive.
Pen to paper,
hoping to keep a moment.

soulmate, my beautiful Maxine.
For 15 years, she was by my side every single day. She came to work with me, watched over me, and greeted everyone who walked through the store with a wagging tail and gentle kindness. So many customers came in looking for beautiful things, but they always left talking about Maxine. She had a way of making everyone feel welcome.
She wasn’t just my dog—she was my constant companion, my comfort, my heart, and my best friend. Life won’t feel the same without her quietly following me from room to room or waiting faithfully by my side.
Thank you, my sweet girl, for every adventure, every cuddle, every smile, and every lesson in unconditional love. You gave me more than I could ever give you.
Run free, my beautiful Maxine. Until we meet again, a piece of my heart will always belong to you. ❤️🐾🌈
