How are you doing tonight?

Yes, he was 20. my sister and brother in law, dog people, were won over by his personality. When they came to pick us up after my car accident, was the first time they met him. They couldn’t get over how he sat on my lap like a dog and looked out the window. He was a great traveler. He never tried to leave hotel rooms, just waited for me. He was sooo awesome when I fell into a year long depression.
Oh yeah, he was smart too. Had a great vocabulary. He responded to birdy, squirrel and chipmunk, he’d run to the window and look for them if you said it to him. Just like a dog. My brother in law thought that was so funny. We were sitting in the family room where the sliding glass door were and a couple of blue jays were on the deck. I called birdy, birdy,…and Sir came running from the other room directly to the door to see the birds.
