One Year


It's been one whole year since we lost Radar.


He was such a good boy.
In fact, I said it many times, he never got into trouble.  Well, as much trouble as cats can get into anyway.
Last year a few days after he died, we wrote down some things that we wanted to always remember about him.

♥ He was the Water Guardian, always sitting by the water bowl.  He even slept by it sometimes.
♥ He loved grass clippings.  And corn husks.  And spinach.  Really anything green and leafy.
♥ When I was pregnant with Olivia, I would freeze bottles of water to roll on my swollen feet and hands.  Eventually, I had to start making more because Radar loved to lick the condensation from the bottles.
♥ He loved having his armpits rubbed and being brushed.
♥ He didn't really meow.  Instead, he made a "ruf" sound.


We had his body cremated and placed it inside this wooden box along with a few little trinkets -- like the Radarisms list and some fur. 
This box now sits on the shelves in our living room.

We miss you Radar.
