Dear Human,

I love you. I’ve always loved you. It doesn’t matter what you do in life, because I forgive you. I am sad when you leave. I never fully understand exactly how long you have been gone. It could be 20 minutes, or 5 hours but it feels the same. Either way, you are not here. When you come home, I am elated to see you because you are the greatest thing that has happened to me. Besides food, I really like that too. And naps, and squirrels, but you get the idea. You take care of me. You let me roam around the house, track my muddy paws everywhere, and feed me. You let me sleep in your big bed (even though it’s actually my bed). I am protective of you. When I hear noises outside, I bark and whine because I need to make sure my human is safe. Just like you care for me, I care for you. There will come a day where I can no longer be with you. And I know you will be sad. Because when I think about, it makes me sad too. I think about all the life events that we have been through together. So many times, I have heard you laugh and so many times I have seen you cry. But I want you to know that it will be okay. If you find another furry friend that can help you, it’s okay. Because really the only thing in life I deeply care about is you.

Love,

Your Dog

And for now,

Xoxo
