"Lovings, Scooty-Butts, Tada-Hah, Lover deBusque, Butterscotch, Nuisance, Odie..."
Our sweet little Otis now plays in heaven without his bad joints and health quirks. By far our favorite little companion and champion lap dog. Managed to consume TV guides, Kleenexes + box, chocolate bars + wrappers, Mom's Cherry Chocolates, and kids blocks with no problems. He was dad's early morning buddy and mom's vacuum and lap buddy for scriptures. He knew when it was 5:00pm and would sit and stare/bark at you until he got his dinner. He knew he got 4 pieces of popcorn and sat there until he got all 4. His command to "speak" was us yelling "come in!" His command to stop barking was spotting the water bottle. Always gentle with the little ones, loved his belly scratches and gently pawed at us if we said "can I stop?" Gave sweet kisses. Lived to be acknowledged and thought every furry visitor was a threat. Always lying in the middle of the action and in the line of foot traffic. He left us with funny stories, sweet memories and the ability to love God's creatures...no matter how quirky!
