McCain aka “Dookie”

In loving memory of McCain, our sweetest boy, who we had to say goodbye to this week. We adopted him from Heart of the Valley nearly four years ago when he was 11 years old and battling chronic illness. We knew he hadn’t had an easy life and had been in and out of shelters. From the moment he entered our lives, we promised to give him the love and care he deserved for as long as he needed. McCain quickly became the heart of our home, with his endless need for cuddles and his lovable quirks. We miss everything about him–the nick in his ear, his crooked toenails, his toothless mouth, and his absolute love of playing with strings. His gentle, affectionate nature filled every corner of our lives, and we are heartbroken by his absence. Though he is no longer with us, we are so grateful for the time we had together and the joy he brought to our lives.

Rest easy, sweet Dookie. You were truly one of a kind and we’ll miss you everyday.

Love, Behnaz and Josh
