My Dearest Friend,

You came a few days after my heart was broken when our dear old Tigger and then baby Kittygirl left us. I sent Daddy to the shelter to get James a new kitty and he came back with you – the cutest little puppy I ever saw. At first, I didn’t want a dog, since I never had one before.

Within a short time, you became my baby. Daddy and I used to fight over you because I loved you so much. He thought you were “just a dog.” Well, someone had to go, and it wasn’t you, old friend. You stayed with me when I got divorced, and when James went away to college.

You were always such a good, sweet boy. You never complained about anything. Do you remember me cooking turkey for you and Dommie?

I will always think of our walks on the beach, just the two of us. Dommie is sleeping on your spot on the bed now. He misses you very much. I think he will be joining you soon.

 

You are always my dearest friend,
Nippy
