Junior was laying next to the highway near Junior Bonds farm in Colorado, therefore the name. He was a kitten with a mal formed hip. I was surveying near there, picked him up and carried him for three miles back to the truck. He did not know he was a cat at first and constantly stayed with our dog Ranger when he was young. My best friend called him Junior Bug and the name stuck. He loved to play hide and seek. The favorite game was trying to sneak outdoors or race your step to glance off of your legs. He had a noticeable limp which did not hinder his rambunctious life. There was complete trust between us. He eventually succumbed to kidney failure after we shared 10 years together. He will always be with me in thought. Junior Bug was my little buddy.
