It hasn’t even been a year, my beloved friend, and I miss you like crazy. The visits home are not the same without your black and white nub tail racing frantically behind you. I miss how you said mama and would run into the couch so hard you almost knocked me off. I miss hearing you bark outside and I miss knowing that you would always stand beside me no matter what was going on in my life. I miss you budder…always have always will.
