Here's my tribution
This was my childhood buddy Spot. He was a Border Collie mix, we adopted him when he was 3 months when he was about to be put to sleep, he'd been to countless adoptathons and hadn't gotten adopted because he was so clingy and hyper. His favorite toy was a green,purple, and yellow catapiller he used to play fetch with. He had epilepsy that progressively got worse until his death, we believe he experienced a grand mal seizure that contributed to his death. He LOVED chasing cows and I can remember tons of times I would sneak off with him into the cow field and chase the cows until my dad came running out with a spatula or some other kitchen appliance lol. He was born sometime in 1998. He loved going for his car rides, Spottie lived for those car trips. We'd all load up in the little Honda and go up to the mountain where we could let Spot loose and me and him would explore all the caves we could find then when we were both tired out we would load back up and go home. He could get loose and we'd just open up the car door at which point he would abandon whatever he was doing be it chasing squirrels, cats, or cows. It actually feels good to talk about him and the good times we had together.
Here's the pretty boy
