In memory of Oreo

Our darling boy Oreo, we were lucky enough to have nearly 13 beautiful, snuggly years together and for that we will always be grateful. The love and cuddles you gave us is something I wish every car Mama/grandmama gets to experience and makes me feel so that that I was yours. I'm so sorry we didn't get longer our sweet boy. Your love was a special one. You knew your boundaries and weren't afraid to assert them when maybe we tried to hold you or rub your belly a little too long. It was so meaningful to us when you chose to snuggle up next to us or curled in a little ball on our lap or just sprawled out like a long bean. Your unique personality was such a presence in our home. Your little meow squeaks, your loud purring even when you were just happy by yourself or your trills when you were enjoying really good strokes. Your cleverness at working out how to open closed doors. How patient you were with your little sisters Ginny and Luna, and lastly you brother Cookie. They are all missing you. You have left big pawprints in our hearts.
