Buckwheat aka Stinkey

My little bundle of love.. all 5 pounds of you!
You came to me as a beaten and battered 1 year old who was barely alive, and even though you didn't hardly have the strength to stand..you still had kisses for me.
Winning my heart with your DeGratzia eyes and your "never give up" attitude you thrived! The years we had together will never be forgotten.. I miss you sleeping on my pillow

and cuddling in my arms.
We were inseparable! You dealt with bad teeth and 2 broken jaws that required long surgeries and round the clock care for months afterwards.. but you never gave up.
As tiny as you were- you unafraid of anything and would attack anyone who got between us, no matter how big.. like a little alligator. My heart smiles when I think of you..Thank you for the love you so openly shared with me.
Through the broken jaws

and a multitude of other surgeries.. you made it through ..
Even after your liver started to give out you still hung in there for months.. crossing Rainbow Bridge on your favorite bed pillow in the middle of the night.

I know we will be together again.. I love you Stinkers!
