Memories
All the cute things Bou did that I don't want to forget
 I'd be lying in bed, and I'd call him. He'd come and jump up, and politely lie down by my feet. I'd pat the bed next to my shoulder, so I could pet him without having to sit up, and he would crawl on his belly up the bed to me.
 When he wanted Jester to play with him, he'd clack his teeth together, making this loud and slightly disturbing noise. It always looked painful to me.
 Bou was responsible for the deaths of approximately 12 pairs of shoes. Not all of them were mine, either.
 Bou was *very* polite about taking treats gently from your hand, but he also GULPED them down. I always worried he'd choke on something.
 Bou weighed 29 pounds at the time of his death.
 He was incredibly gentle with all sorts of animals. When my friend Regan baby sat him for a few days, he would round up her escaped mice without trying to hurt any of them. When he got to close to Carrie (rat) 's cage and she bit him on the nose, his only reaction was to run to me for help.
 Bou's *favorite* place to go was the dog park. He got along well with almost all dogs (very submissive big dogs were too much fun to torment, though) and even had his picture in the paper with an article about the park.
