My Theo,

I didn't know my biological Dad. I met him by chance as an adult and he passed away shortly thereafter.
The last thing thing he said to me was that once he got to where he was headed, he'd send me "a cute boy to love".

After his funeral, I came home to find a crowd gathered around my sidewalk. They were convinced there was a grey bunny stuck under there, so I crawled into the gap and pulled out the most beautiful thing I had ever seen and that was you Theo! Your fluffy grey hair blew in the wind. Your big teal eyes and little pink nose made you irresistible. You had me from that moment on.

You were so pretty that I thought you were a girl and named you Sophia. Even your Veterinarian initially thought you were a girl! It wasn't until your appointment to be spayed that we found out you were actually a boy, the cute boy I was sent to love, and love you I did.

I was a bit of a "Smother-Mother". You tolerated being constantly held and bombarded with kisses. Holding you up and kissing your fluffy belly was like therapy for me.

In return, you would touch my face whenever I said, "Where's Mama?" You wold squeeze my finger with your paw, rub your head under my chin, and plant yourself on top of me whenever you saw fit.

Julia, Matthew, and I would get you to dance to, "All the Single Kitties" and you had moves Theo! Moves and attitude to boot, but the pretty boys typically do!

Your favorite thing to do was to climb under the fitted sheet and play "Where's Theo?" anytime I would put fresh sheets on the bed.

You loved chocolate frosty treats and could smell one coming from a mile away. I would often find you with your face pressed up against our kitchen window waiting with anticipation for the arrival of your favorite treat.

You were such a fighter Theo. After you lost sight in both eyes, I would worry about you all day while I was away at work, but more often than not, I would come home to find you sound asleep in your bed with the sun shining down on you, your big rabbit feet out to each side, and your paws covering your eyes. I'd walk over and gently pet you. You'd wake up and look at me, like "Mom, why did you worry all day? As you can see, I'm fine!"

The day you died was one of the saddest days of my life Theo. Out of habit, I stopped at Wendy's to get you a tiny chocolate frosty. It wasn't until the girl handed it to me, that I realized you were gone.

I trust that by now, you've found Mamie, Papa, Aunt Weis, Aunt Garnet, and Uncle Bob. Just tell them you were mine and they will surely love and care for you.

I suspect that you're also with Taffy, Molly, Bailey, Connor, Cody, and my first baby Clea. Be kind to them Theo. They were wonderful dogs.

I know you will show them all who's boss.

Thank you for coming into my life and making it less lonely Theo.

It was my privilege to be your "Smother".

I will keep you in my heart and love you forever.

Love, Mama
