Mr. Mouse expects lavish treats and luxurious petting. Look deep into his eyes and prepare to do his bidding!
Dear Mr. Mouse,
It has been over a month since you departed this life for points unknown. We would give anything to hear your insistent bark, commanding us to pour drinking water onto the kitchen floor for you to sip. Or to see you stampeding into the kitchen the instant we pop open a can of Spam!
We miss you so much, but this drawing makes us smile as we recall your attentive and loving gaze.
Forever, we remain
Your loving family

Our little dog, Mousey (aka Mouse) brought joy to our family for almost nine years (April 10, 2011–February 15, 2020).
Mousey, I’m still not sure who got the better deal—you for taking over our home and hearts, or me for getting to draw inspiration from your strange dog-like ways! Goodbye, Mousey…I’ll miss you always.
