Dear Bugsy,
You are the BEST, most glorious, fearless, wild, and loving boy in the whole world. I am so lucky to have been your mama for these 14 years and 4 months. Thank you for waking me up with 1000 kisses every day and entertaining me with your silliness all these years. You are a one of a kind amazing creature and my heart aches at the thought of not waking up with your face as the first thing I see and getting your sweet kisses every morning. You have been the best friend and companion I could ever ask for. You are my “beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy” and when I hear that song I will always remember how your paws felt in my hands when I would sway you like a baby and dance with you in my arms. I will always keep you in my heart as my soul animal. I will think of your peachy blonde mane blowing in the wind when we would go on long drives and I blasted the song “Never Ending Story”. My love for you is indeed a never ending story. You are the inspiration for Wild Moon Hill. I will think of your nose working overtime picking up every new scent when we went on hikes or walked the river trail. I will remember you chasing coyotes, turkey vultures, bees, and that one bobcat! I loved watching you relax. How you closed your eyes and enjoyed laying in the sun or under papa pepper in Fallbrook. You taught me how to enjoy every moment. So many days I would say that it’s the best day of your life, because you lived life at full throttle. A beautiful spirit. A champion. What a gem of a creature you are. You are forever my special boy. My love boy. My sweet boy. My kissing boy. My flower boy. How I wish you would live longer. But you will live in my heart every day forever. Like I always told you, I love you every single day of your life, each day more than the last. My heart bursts with love for my sweet boy.
I am so thankful that I got to baby you in these last months of your life. You deserve the best of everything. It is my honor to spoil you. Thanks for humoring me. I love you my beautiful Bug. I can’t see you suffer. Thanks for being strong for me until the very end, even when your body became fragile and light that a gust of wind could knock you over. To me, you will always be my super boy. A true legend. Combination lion and bear. Regal AF!!
I love you forever and ever and ever.
