More: Best friend I’ve ever had and helped me through a rough patch in life. He’s had two back surgeries for IVDD and he’s almost as good as new. He talks to me every night before he goes to bed promptly at 9. You can set your clock by him. He loves everyone and everything. Used to let the baby squirrels eat out of his food bowl and drink from his water bowl. The best companion I could ever ask for, my very best friend.
