Midnite (son of Max and Muffin) was born on Friday, August 5, 2005 and departed this earth on, Tuesday, November 30, 2021. Midnite was the sweetest, smartest, most loving, most loyal, most affectionate, wholly devoted, best furry friend, in the world! I know everyone says that about their dog/pet, but Midnite truly was. Midnite didn't know he was canine---thought he was human (with a soul)! Everyone LOVED Midnite! The groomer, vet, boarder, my neighbors, co-workers, strangers, etc., but most of all, family of course! Kids in the neighborhood would come visit and play with him, and would scream his name and run up to greet him when we went for our strolls.

I adopted Midnite (from a Toy Poodle Breeder) for my daughter (who was nine years old at the time), but he RESCUED us. The day I arrived at the Breeder’s to take Midnite home, he and his siblings ran out of the house, but Midnite jumped up on me (all 4lbs of him, only 5 months old). At the time, I didn’t know which toy poodle I would be taking home with us. He made it really easy by making himself known. He really changed the family dynamic. Midnite was so inquisitive, always sniffing around and getting into things. I will miss pulling up in my driveway and hearing him barking from inside (the whole time I was gone), and him photo-bombing every picture being taken. How he knew the exact time to go sit on the stairs to watch out the window for my daughter (his Sister-Momma) to get off the school bus every day (and would whine if she didn't---cheerleading practice). My son once placed him on top of the refrigerator and walked away, but Middie got his revenge by wetting on him the next time he picked him up (right square on the chest). I remember the time when Middie got into a plastic box of brand-new mini brownies that was left on the table, leaving only two behind. Needless to say, he was jacked up for the next two days, and his behind was on fire---scooting from all the chocolate! The endless times we played hide & seek (finding me every time, or at least knew the room/area I was in) and wouldn't leave until I came out. The times he thought every soft toy brought home was his (not my daughter's) and would jump up and take it for his own. How he would somehow find ALL the softest, coziest spots in the house, and would claim your new comfy throw/blanket. How he would perform his nightly 'paw patrols' once we went upstairs for the night, before settling in. He brought us so much joy and many beautiful, beautiful memories.

Midnite helped me through the darkest times of my life...always sitting at my feet licking my 'wounds'. Oh, what I would give for 16 more wonderful years with Middie, but I know his little soul is in heaven with his Grannie (and Aunt)! I will never forget you Midnite…there will never be another for me!!! Until we meet again Midnite, my sweet little precious boy!

Midnite leaves to grieve: Gabbie (sister-momma), Reece (brother), Tracy (mom), James (paw-paw), two aunts/uncles, and a host of cousins, family and friends.
