We adopted Pierce about 4 years ago. He was absolutely the best - he was mellow, had charm, and we will miss him. One of our favorite memories is whenever he was in the car, he would climb up to look out the window during the ride. He had a fascination with pillows - he could find them anywhere in the house and would always lay his head on them and fall asleep. He was about 4-1/2 feet long, and 8 years old.
