RIP little baby bear, you are already missed so much.

You came to us a year and a half old, having lived in a cage your whole life to that point. You were half the weight you should have been, had half the hair you should have had, and were sneezing out bloody goo. But your personality was like a supernova and you came home with us, for the betterment of us all.

You’ve left a mile wide hole in our lives. It is impossible to think of our home without the chaos you always created. Your snuffly sounds, your sharp teeth on our ankles, and your velvet soft tongue on our foreheads. You were one of a kind. Part cat, part dog, part monkey, part shark, part human, all Milo.

Our hearts are emptier without you, but we are so grateful for how full you made them in the 12 years you spent with us.

:'(

I'd love to hear from you :)
