Pup

I thought I saw you out the back window today, curled up in the sun in one of your favorite spots. I looked again, but of course you weren't there. Today makes six months you've been gone, pup, and I still think about you every day. I can't help but think maybe it was you, come back just to check in on me. I honestly could use you about now, but that's alright… I'll be ok.

I hope they're giving you enough squirrels to chase over there on the other side. Wide open fields so you can run forever, like you used to love to do. And I'd like to think we gave you a good life… If you ever had any complaints, you never did show it.

I love you, pup. And while I'm not in any hurry, I really can't wait to see you again someday down the line, waiting for me, funny little paintbrush tail a-blur. Until then, go on some adventures for me, ok? I never did like it when you got out of the yard when you were here, but nothing can hurt you there… so go! Roam to your heart's content! And I'll catch up with you later.
