Pepper was sort of shy, but friendly and not timid of visitors. He was very friendly and loving.

What were his favorite toys? He enjoyed watching you blow catnip-flavored bubbles, didn't he?

I love the story of him popping out into your hallway and racing back inside when the tiny dog down the hall appeared.

I can picture him studying rainbows and bubbles and rolling in catnip at the rainbow bridge, as he awaits the joyful reunion of the four of you sometime in years to come: happy and healthy and together again.
