So many more stories of things he did and ate. He was the best and we're going to miss him so much. ❤️

10b. He was still sick and getting sicker. Two more visits to the vet and the find an obstruction in his upper intestine. They pulled it out and found...a peach pit. He apparently snarfed it up a month earlier. Every vet and tech who met Jerry since always remembered him because of the peach pit.

9. One pound of birdseed. He just chowed down on one pound of birdseed. He later threw up a solid chunk of it and still pooped speckled for a week. Another time Jerry nearly died.

8. Wife was feeding our newborn and came back to find Jerry had eaten her last dozen lactation cookies--little bites of protein and sugar perfect for breastfeeding moms who often don't have time to sit down for a full meal. She was so angry Jerry nearly lost his life that day!

7. A forgotten backpack and no one home. Jerry took his opportunity, unzipped the book bag, took out the lunch box, carried it to the girls' room, unzipped the box, pulled out the sandwich, unzipped the Ziploc, pulled out the sandwich, and ate it. Didn't destroy anything except the sandwich.

6. The only food to defeat Jerry was Altoids. We came home to a pried open box and a box full of Altoids, with only two partially melted. The curiously strong mint was too much for him!

Here's Jerry chasing bubbles.

5. Oldest daughter did an expt to see what happened to different liquids--milk, OJ, water--if left out at room temp. Stopped the expt 10 days in b/c Jerry somehow took the milk glass off the top shelf, licked out all the sour milk, and pushed it back onto the bottom shelf. Without breaking the glass

4. Who packed on five pounds from eating cicadas during the Brood X emergence in Maryland in 2021? This guy.

3. No thumbs, no problem. While we were out, Jerry got on his hind legs, put his paws on the table, and used his tongue to fold back and crease the aluminum foil and lick off the frosting or a homemade carrot cake.

2. At a home BBQ, there was commotion around the food table. I saw Jerry chomping, and several guests told me he got something off the meat plate. I saw a plate full of hamburgers and brats and realized Jerry got the only veggie burger on the plate. 😂 I mocked him mercilessly.

1. Right before going out to a restaurant, we received a box of gifts from my wife's sister. We left the wrapped packages out and went to dinner. We came home to shredded wrapping paper, a precisely opened plastic box, and a pile of thrown up chocolate-covered caramels.

We said goodbye to our beloved Jerry today. 💔 He was the goodest boy. He was a charmer who loved being around people. He was also a voracious eater of food and food-adjacent items.

So, to celebrate Jerry, here is the top ten list of things he ate.

Katherine has also partnered with a group to do an Instagram book tour over the next couple of weeks. If you're on Instagram, would love it if you'd check out the feeds of these folks and boost their posts about Debra Lee Won't Break.

Proposals 9-12 are COVID axe grinding and I won't go over them individually. In a different time, these recommendations would be so deeply unworkable as to get the author laughed out of the room. In these days... 🤷‍♂️ 19/n
