This post both breaks my heart farther but also helps it to heal. My ever present supervisor, my best bud, my constant companion and decider of when it was time to leave the shop, Theodore McBean Kirkpatrick, passed while I held him in his bed Tuesday morning. The shop is terribly lonely and it will take me a while to get the wind back in my sails that Teddy somehow unknowingly provided. Give your pets an extra head pat and kiss for me today, please.
Rest easy, bud. Love you and miss you greatly.
