Well Smokey man it happened again last week . I saw a dally that I thought was you for a minute. He was accross from mommys house. He was running around and smelling the ground the way you did . He was a big boy just like you were , young and full of life. He looked accross the street at me as for a moment to look at me like I was someone he had lost and missed at one time. His human friend came and got him and led him back to his home and it was then it hit me it was not you, but for that one special moment , it was you and we conected. I would have given anything to touch his hair and feel him licking my face but it would not be you. I miss you still Smokey man..
Your sister Katie is doing fine but I think she misses you this time of the year when she does not have you to play with, you know how she loved to run by and nip your ears.
