And yet...
It's tough to say, but our dear friend Cricket, also known as our Chief Nap Officer and the inspiration behind Cowboy & Cricket, passed away last week. He was an old fella, around 14 years old, but his health declined rapidly over the past month. I had to make the hard decision to let him go.Cowboy & Cricket got its name from Cowboy, my co-founder Alena's dog, and Cricket, my own. Even though both our perfect boys have passed, I thought about changing the company name. But then I realized, Cricket was such a special, brave, silly, sleepy, stinky little guy that I couldn't bear to do it.
Cricket was a rescue, 7 years old, with signs of abuse (like beebees embedded in his skin from being shot and a deep mistrust for most people). He struggled with anxiety and never fully healed emotionally. Still, I cherished the 7 good years he spent with me, loving him with all my heart. And I know he had trouble loving and trusting, but I know he loved me (and Simon, and even Stanley) as best he could.
So here's to you, Cricket, my wonderful goofball. Rest easy, buddy. I hope you're snuggled up with your pal Simon, having the best time wherever you are.
