The things I’ll miss most about Dexter include the way he dances on our pillows before he settles into them and how he enjoys sleeping curled up in the bend of my knees. I’ll miss how one of his ears stands up straight as a flag pole while the other looks a little like a wilting flower petal. I’ll miss how his nose twitches when you kiss him. I’ll miss the black of his bottom lip along with his tiny pearl teeth and how his nose isn’t entirely black or pink but a perfectly imperfect blend of both. I’ll miss his Bernie Mac eyes and the little white sock on his front paw. But the thing I’ll miss most about Dexter is Dexter.
