Our Boy Googie ! Part 1

This is a nice idea,a way to remember an important part of our family ,Our Boy Googie. Last night I read through the first post and it gave me more details of the sad events leading up to Saturday the 15th.The bus trip and the wait at the vet's made me sad and brought tears to my eyes. He was just such a shadow of his former portly self. I grew up in a house with a dog or two but I was not around when they passed. This was difficult and I felt horrible that I wasn't home to be there for our family that weekend. It was in the back of my mind when I said goodbye to Googie the Sunday before that I might not see him again. But I wanted to focus on the positive. He was always the greeter of the cats standing on the stool next to the door. Curious with what was outside the door but he knew his limits ! He loved our neighbors Brian, Gabe and Johnny too! I remember being very impressed with Johnny when you mentioned him offering to escort you and Googie to the vet. He loved that darn cat !! When I joined the family in 2007 it was much smaller,just Bonnie,Chuckles and Googie.Back then I had a hard time remembering which was which.I have to laugh at that now.Googie got a little portly over the years with a pinch of Bulimia . Always there for a good meal or a snack of Greenies !Yes, he could be a real jerk but he had a real sweet side too. In that way we were a lot alike I guess !I'm gonna miss him,he was a real friend !
