✎ What was the very first moment you saw them?
We went to see his litter and I saw him playing with his siblings. I went to get on the floor to see if he would come to me. When he did, I picked him up and he stuck his tongue out at me. That was when I knew he was the one.

✎ What was their first night at home like?
He slept a lot (as he always did) but he also ran around a lot. His little legs could only take him so far. I remember that was the first time we figured out his little squat for when he had to pee because he needed potty trained. I gave him lots of kisses and cuddles. We also found out he did not like being in a crate or being alone or he would cry.

✎ Did they have a best friend, human or animal?
His first best friend was our dog Sammie and when he passed away my sister got her dog Phoenix. So they became friends. In his final years, he became friends with my mom’s dog Tori. He always loved his Grandma.

✎ What nicknames did you call them?
He had quite a few. His most used one was Bubs. There was also Babycakes, baby boy, Kleine Junge, and his most recent one was Little Chef. He always liked being in the kitchen with us especially when we were cooking so Mikel and I started calling him Little Chef.
