In loving memory of Spooky (2014 – 2026)

My baby girl. Your dad and I miss you. My everything before I had anything. We miss tucking you under blankets for a nap. We will be together again. Love is eternal. 🤍

I’m so so happy I found you in my backyard that summer. I thought you needed me but I needed you.

Spooky, your little brother is feeling better now. At first he looked for you and slept next to your empty carrier every night. Don’t worry, he’s not alone. You and him have a new little sister now.

✎ What did they smell like? She smelled like maple syrup, sunlight, and laundry.

✎ What were they scared of? Spooky hated sudden loud noises and strangers in the house. She would hide under the bed, behind pillows, under blankets. I would cover her with a blanket in her favorite spot before anyone came over. She used to be afraid of shoes as a kitten.

At first she was Mittens but it didn’t feel right. I was obsessed with the X-Files so I named her after my favorite character Fox Mulder. Her colors also happened to be Halloween colors. At that moment I felt so certain it was the perfect name. We took her photo to the X-Files Museum in her honor.
