Porky, forever in our hearts

Porky was born on October 18, 2007 to his mom Barbie and Dad Pee-Wee.

He became a part of my family as soon as he could walk. He became obedient and playful. His favorite toy was any stuffed animal he could get ahold of. He loved for you to throw them and have him fetch them. And you had better pay attention to the game or he would bark at you and let you know.

He stayed home with my mom whenever my brother and I were at work. Kept her company and always made her smile. He was there to greet me at the door as soon as I came in. He jumped up so high for me to hold him.

He was a great dog and I will miss coming home to him every day. I will miss him getting in bed with me at night and barking at me whenever i disturbed his sleep.

Porky was killed last night. He was run over by a speeding car. I will never forget that moment. The moment that my best friend was killed. The moment that he was taken away from me so violently. I held him and cried. And I have continued to cry ever since.

I don't know when this pain will go away or when the days will get easier. All I know is that he will never be forgotten.

I hope you are sleeping well Porky. I hope to see you again one day. I promise to play fetch with you. I love and miss you ALWAYS.
