Buddy, you were a major dude, major in many ways. You kept my mom company, but never needy. You kicked it and watched tv with the perfect amount of ennui. You didn’t trip on the birds or rabbits in the backyard. You just kicked it. Who would ever give you up to the doggy shelter was nuts.  I know the last few years were rough, but thanks for being a homie, have fun in heaven.

Addendum: This shit is fucking with me. Buddy was the man.
