Pookie was an incredible friend. I decided that it was time in my life to make a commitment to someone other than myself. That's were Pookie came in. He was so cute when I found him. I bought him at a pet store. Any pet in my mind that you bring into your home is a a lucky pet, no matter where you find them. They all need a home. My commitment to Pookie and myself was to care for and love him until he no longer graced us with his presence. I learned a lot about love, patience and responsibility by having Pookie in my life. He only new he was loved, safe and cared for his entire life and that is what I set out to do 12 years ago. I miss my friend he was so much more than my little buddy. I will always discover new things about what that relationship gave to me.
