In Loving Memory of Dido Roeth
It is with deeply broken hearts that we say goodbye to Dido, our beloved lap cat, reading companion, and constant shadow. Dido passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love, comfort, and just the right amount of attitude.
Dido was far more than a pet; she was an integral part of our family and a guiding presence behind the scenes of The Moody Book & Bouquet. A true supervisor, she never failed to find her way onto the table whenever orders were being worked on, offering her unsolicited but deeply appreciated oversight. Reading a book was impossible without Dido claiming her rightful place in a lap, and the concept of personal privacy was entirely foreign to her—especially in the bathroom, where she and her sister Leah firmly believed they belonged by our side.
Affectionately known as our "Cajun baby," Dido possessed a beautiful personality that was entirely her own: sweet, sassy, and wonderfully spicy. She was our social, loving girl who demanded to be close and always made her presence known. We shared so many milestone moments together, from the very first day we brought her home—where she instantly latched onto Leah as if she were her chosen keeper and mother—to the incredible privilege of watching Dido bring her own babies into this world.
The everyday moments that once made us shake our heads have now become the memories we would give anything to experience just one more time. Dido spent her beautiful life right beside us, and we honored that devotion by staying right beside her until the very end.
Rest easy, our sweet, moody girl. Thank you for the endless cuddles, the beautiful interruptions, and for leaving your unmistakable paw prints on our hearts and on the dream we built together. We hope there is a warm, sunny windowsill waiting for you, an abundance of open windows to watch the world go by, and all the love your spicy heart can hold.
Forever our baby. Forever a Roeth. Forever a part of The Moody Book. You are deeply missed, and you will never be forgotten.
