Goodnight Sweet Boy
Tonight is my 1st night without you here. I am so saddened by what happened to you today. We've been through sooo much together, I thought I had lost you before, only to have you back in my arms again. Please forgive me Kuma, I hope you felt no pain. Remember to behave nicely at the bridge, I know you are a ladies man, your beautiful blue eyes will mesmerize all the girls

....Try to be nice to SmokeyCat...and don't chase her too much. I know you just like to tease her, but she gets so mad at you when you do it too much. Herkie is looking for you, and he knows I'm sad, so he's trying to be a little extra goofy to take my mind off things. Yes, him and Cuz, have been having at it! Don't forget my sing-song, try to remember it every night before you sleep. Kuma-Kuma-kuma-kumaaaa! What am I going to do without you? You know Herkie is a handful, but his kisses are so different from yours, and he doesn't dance with me, or sing with me like you do! Remember Charlie? My daddy's dog....he'll be there with you soon...so show him the ropes. I hope you don't think I failed you Kuma, I didn't mean to leave the door open! I know how you love to run, it's your most favorite thing in the world to do. You knew Mama was going to buy a house this summer, a house with a nice back yard for you & Herkie. I wish you could have waited to run in your yard....but I understand, your call to run was stronger than anything else. Please watch over Herkie and keep him safe and healthy, it's just me and your big brother now...so you've got to watch over us. Run Kuma, chase those squirrels, and the catbirds....and just think...now you can run after those geese I would never let you chase in "the glen". Run baby, run. For now, you'll be forever safe. Goodnight my sweet, beautiful boy! I love you. lovicon
