We had a hard loss yesterday. Pete had been missing for a few days, and we all thought he had run off somewhere and would return. He had wanted out that night to go lay down and sleep forever.
I remember when we got him, he cost $45 dollars and was supposed to be a chihuahua. He was no bigger then my hand. I took him home and he just slept everywhere. His favorite way to sleep was on his back with his feet in the air. He grew to be a very playful dog. JW and Chase would chase him around, and he was always frisky after baths. I loved the way he would growl when you acted like you were going to thump him. I also miss his kisses even though he sometimes didn't know when to quit.
Pete lived the good life and was WELL taken care of by my parents. Plenty of car rides, good food, his own furniture, and treats. We know he can never be replaced. He was truly one of a kind.
Pete Mesquite or Pete Smith or Petey Sweety or just plain Pete Cates. 3/2/1998- 8/2011
