Dear Tori;

 Sweet Baby Girl; You were the best puppy I could have ever asked for.

I love you so much and I miss you so much.

I miss your beautiful face your bouncing grace every little quirk.

I miss giving you your pills in cherry tomatoes;

I miss hearing you do your little whine in the middle of the night because

you need to go out or just because you want to play.

I miss having chewies and toys all over the floor.

I miss your greeting me whenever I come in the door no

matter how long I've been gone;

I miss holding you stroking your beautiful coat rubbing your

ticklish belly hearing you sigh with contentment.

I miss taking you for walks listening to you bark for no reason

as you lead the way on our familiar paths.

I miss having to carry you across busy streets.

I miss your face looking into your eyes feeling how warm you

are smelling your fur.

I miss waking up to you even during the night feeling you

always touching me some part of you touching some part of me.

I miss you waking me up by staring at my face or gently thumping your paw at me.

I miss you vacuuming the floor with your tongue.

I miss letting you out on the porch so you can eat birdseed.

I miss you coming back in with your little wet nose all covered with birdseed.

I miss playing ball with you in the house.

I miss you herding the big pink ball and fetching your squeaky toys

as if it was the grandest game ever.

I miss saying "Where's your baby?" and you looking all over for your white teddy bear.

I miss youcarrying it in your mouth as we went on our walks.

It sure kept you quiet and other people sure got a kick out of it.

I miss watching you play in the sprinklers for hours.

I miss the sound of your bark the smell of your chewy breath the

look of your crooked teeth.

I miss combing brushing and trimming your beautiful coat.

I miss holding and touching your warmth.

 

My Tori My Sweet Baby Girl,

 

I miss you so much. I love you so much.

I would have done anything to keep this from happening.

Too soon too quickly too soon . . .

Always in My Heart My Love My Sweet Baby Girl,

 

Tori's Mom Dianne
