Sweetpea - handsome, bright, and wonderfully affectionate - was the love of my life.

At only 9 1/2, he should still have had a lot of years ahead of him. Perhaps his work was done. He lived joyously and loved with all his heart as he saw me through a challenging decade.

Sweetpea's love was the breath in my soul. What many humans have a tough time teaching or showing each other, he taught me almost from the moment I laid eyes on him at 6 weeks till the last days when he would sit on my chest with his face touching mine.

Sweetpea passed on peacefully at 2:40 am on a rainy Thursday night at an animal hospital in LA, of a meningioma. I held him till 7am, then kissed him a final goodbye.
