Dave the Brother who sat on Toy boxes

I remember being told about Dave sitting on his Toy box because he did not want anyone else to play with his toys. Well I think he has come back as a Squirrel as we have one that I have Named Dave because of this. Dave the Squirrel sits and eats all the food then when someone else comes to eat he chases them away then jumps back up on to the feeder to guard it just like Dave sitting on his Toy box so that no one else can play wiht his Toys. hence why I have named him Dave the Squirrel here is a picture of good ole Dave the Squirrel

ALWAYS ON MY MIND with lyrics -Willie Nelson

I think this song says how we all Feel about Dave and especially the Relationship that he built with Charlie that cat knew No matter what that he could always count on Dave to bring him down though the house and put him in the Gigantic Dog House that we had for the cats to sleep in.   That cat loved Dave to the end of his life and Now two friends have been Reunited In heaven.    


One Memory I love and still laugh at is one time both Cammie and charlie had gone up on the balcony and Dave could not carry both cats so I Went up and helped him carry Cammie down.  Well we got down to the cats box opened up the the box and Dave goes "well Charlie is already in the box"  I quietly said "Dave your holding charlie"  and he goes "oh yeah your right"   It was a baby skunk who had decided to eat the rest of their food needless to say the cats stayed in the laundry room until the skunk left.   Mom and dad were gone and Dave told me "don;t tell your mom we had to put the cats in the laundry room"   but  I am glad that we did or they would have gotten sprayed and us as well.  

The time dad sat on Moms chair and fell backward

This is my first post here, this is a blog where I hope to channel all our memories about Dave into a memory book of stories about him. I thought about sharing some of my own memories to start out and anyone else can add their Memories in comments and I can copy and past them. The earliest Memory I have of Uncle Dave is this. We were all back here In Illinois for a Family Reunion. Trish and Dave Still had their pool and I think either Steve or Dave Walter was blowing up a float y toy for the pool and dave H laid on top of the almost full of air toy, well me being so young I did not understand that he was only teasing and hit him kinda hard well I made him say OW and I got in trouble for it and when I had calmed down I remember someone made me say Sorry but I did not feel very sorry cause I thought he was trying to Ruin our fun. Another Memory I have of Dave is when My dad decided to sit on the arm of the Chair my mom was sitting on and they fell backward. Well my mom could not roll to the left because there was my dad she could not roll to her right and get out cause there was a magazine rack. so there I was trying my hardest to keep a nice face and not laugh and all the while yelling at the top of my lungs for Dave he peeked over the rail and said what is the matter what's the matter. I just said just get down here and you will see why. So he came downstairs and when he go to the second set of stairs he started laughing cause he could finally see what had happened. He came and helped me get dad up and on his feet and then we helped mom get to her feet. I don;t think I will ever forget this as it was just too funny.
