Goodbye, sugar bear, sweet pea, sweetheart, and stinky butt.

You meant the absolute world to me, and I’m so thankful to have called you my best friend for as long as I did. Thanks for fourteen years of super-gross licks, forcing me to lay in awkward positions for your comfort, snuggles, massive cuddles, and complete unconditional love. I hope that having Dan and me by your side until the end helped ease your pain, gave you comfort, and let you know how much we loved you. Because, Rasc, holy f*ck did I love you so much and tried my damnedest to do anything and everything to allow you to have a remarkable life; stay completely radical, Rascal.

I’ll never forget you, sugar bear. And up yours, 2023. 🌈💔
