Simon

Thank you for choosing me as your best friend.
It has been an honor.

May your eternal rest be peaceful.
May your dreams be of lazy summer days,
and endless fields of catnip.

Until we meet again my friend,
keep my love in your heart.
I promise to do the same.

goodbyesimon02.jpg Definitely a classy fellow.

goodbyesimon03.jpg The mighty Simon! Destroyer of boxes!

goodbyesimon04.jpg "Remind me to fire the maid... after my nap."

goodbyesimon05.jpg Simon liked to use every part of a recliner, just not all at the same time.

goodbyesimon08.jpg This must have been a tough call, deciding between a nap or hamming it up for the camera.

goodbyesimon09.jpg The sole guardian of the cat toys sits stoically, as if he were a fierce gargoyle... a fierce, fuzzy, gargoyle.

goodbyesimon10.jpg "I'm trapped, like a cat in a net. Run! Save yourself!"

goodbyesimon11.jpg Simon would often sleep in a bed of cat toys just in case he woke up in a playful mood.

goodbyesimon12.jpg This expand-o cat-tube is one of those toys he never played with. But ONE time I came home to catch him asleep in it (& got a photo before he woke up).

goodbyesimon13.jpg Deep meditation was one of Simon's hobbies.

goodbyesimon14.jpg See! When I told you he would go out in the rain and get wet, I was NOT kidding. This cat is WET.

goodbyesimon15.jpg Rinse, lather, repeat.

goodbyesimon16.jpg A lazy sunny day napping in the backyard. It don't get much better.

goodbyesimon17.jpg Simon sleeping in front of the computer in front of Simon sleeping in front of the computer.

goodbyesimon18.jpg Simon digging into his Christmas stocking.

goodbyesimon19.jpg Too many toys? No such thing.

goodbyesimon20.jpg A fitting last photo for my goofy, lovable fuzz-bucket. Simon asleep with his butt hanging off the shelf. This may be Simon's end, but it's not the end of Simon. He'll live forever in my heart.
