Bubba Cain's Deuces are Wild

Pets.
The best friend a person could ever ask for.
They add so much to life. One could say that they are almost like having children.
You can teach them to sit, roll over, speak, but nothing compares to the utter joy they exhibit when they see you. It doesn't matter if you were gone five days or five minutes, they are ecstatic to see you.

Today has been a difficult day for me. I had to say goodbye to my sweet sugar Cain.
We had twelve and a half fabulous years together. I just hope I gave him as much as he gave me.
He helped me through some pretty rough times. We had some good ones too.
I'll always consider him my first born. I'll always remember bringing him home for the first time. Being so relieved to hear him bark at his reflection in the mirror because he had not uttered a sound for a few days.
I'll remember the "show" he would put on for the kennel and the UPS man. (he and Holli will always be known as "the Lovers")
I'll remember how warm his little body was when I crawled into bed at night and how he nestled into the crook of my leg until morning. I'll never forget how curious he was when we brought Silas home from the hospital and how he stood guard by the crib.
No, he wasn't just a dog-he was my baby. He was my companion. He was a member of the family.

I miss you sweet Cainy. Thanks for being mine.
