named Omega Double Cheeseburger after a local burger joint we liked. We found him huddled close under the wheel of the car where we’d get burgers. Teeeeeeny kitten, abandoned, lost, looking for warmth. I didn’t notice him down there and almost stepped on him as I started to climb back into the car. Thank goodness I spotted him in time!!!

Soon enough, we were calling him Dub, for short. And the name stuck for a lifetime.

We STILL miss him, 30-some-odd years later.
