Puppy breath
Soft ears
Pink skin and jet black fur, with a white plume on your pretty tail
The smell of your warm soft fur
Your feet clicking on the tile in the kitchen
Coming home and seeing your happy face looking out of the window
You listening to me and paying attention
Waking up in the night and feeling safe with you next to me
How much you loved chicken soup
Your love of Coca Cola
Your love of beer!
A dog that liked broccoli
Trying to go home with the pizza delivery man
You stealing balls from other people
How you watched out for Pogo
Kisses, kisses, puppy kisses
Family cuddles
Your first trip to the beach
Your last trip to the beach
Our first day together
Our last day together
How when you went to The Bridge, and I looked at your beautiful face, you looked just like a baby puppy again
It has been over a month, and I still miss you so.
