Butters and I have been companions since she was a kitten in 2009. I had many different living situations, different roommates, different animals, constant change but it did not stop us from forming a very, very strong bond. I always came with a side of Butters, no matter what.
Only until I met Jordan did we eventually find the means to settle down into our forever-life and give Butters a more comfortable life for her golden years. Our now trio would move in together and Butters and Jordan quickly became coworkers and best friends, spending every day together because Jordan works from home. He loved her just as much as I and she loved him back. I saw it every day. Butters and I knew we would be ok for the rest of our days with Jordan.
We soon adopted Zelda and welcomed her into our family, and together we formed traditions that only the 4 of us shared. Halloween, Easter, Summer, Fall traditions, you name it. We have something for every occasion that is unique to us. Be it an activity, or a simple phrase to say in a silly voice to each other, tradition and making lasting memories is the theme. “Time for bedtime Bussers!”
If you knew Butters, you knew how she was social, gorgeous, and always willing to make the room laugh by laying on top of the board game while we were playing. She was considered an icon among the friend group, and even family and coworkers would always ask how she was doing. When she had a Sweet 16 birthday party in 2025, Jordan and I were absolutely amazed by how many friends and family showed up to give gifts and celebrate Butters. She had an impact, no matter the size, on everyone she knew. Our parents from back home even sent them Christmas gifts and stockings. We are forever greateful for your appreciation of how much we loved our little girls.
Those who know Jordan and I understand the emotion and sorrow we feel as we navigate forward in a world without Butters, but she is forever in all of our hearts with loving memories and traditions that will live on in her honor.
Thank you Angel Paws for taking care of her.
Until we meet again. I love you, honey bear.
