Smudge Burgess

October 31, 2018 - September 24, 2020

Smudge peacefully passed over the Rainbow Bridge in his home on 9/24/20. Smudge was picked out by his Dad on Halloween, and shortly after they both came home to live with Mom and Big Brother. We thought we had saved Smudge, but little did we know, Smudge saved us. Smudge weaseled his way into our hearts when we thought there was no more room left. Smudge loved spending his days getting into trouble - whether it be eating leftovers out of the trash, stealing Brother's ball, visiting his girlfriend down the road, or rooting around in the fresh sheets on the bed. Smudge was full of life, and was always ready to go on an adventure with his Dad and Big Brother. Smudge loved helping Dad work around the house, and was always the supervisor on Dad's projects. Smudge loved eating snacks and going on car rides with his Big Brother, and was always willing to help Nana in her flower garden. Smudge was so brave and wasn't afraid of anything (except scarecrows and punching bags). Smudge always found a way to make us laugh, and taught us not to take life so seriously. We will forever miss Smudge, and while he is no longer physically here, he will be here with us until we take our last breath. Smudge was, and forever will be, a good boy. Mom, Dad and Brother are so proud of the good little boy you were growing up to be. While our time on this planet was short, we are forever thankful for the moments we shared, and memories we will get to carry with us until we see each other again. You be sweet up in Heaven baby, and be a good boy. Dad, Mom and Big Brother will see you soon. Smudge is survived by his Dad & Mom, Brian & Jennifer Burgess. He is also survived by is Big Brother, Zeus.
