The Night Of

My dear Buster,

I am so sorry there wasn't more I could do for you. I remember bringing you home from the rescue, you being my first dog, and thinking "What have I gotten myself into?!" That was the best decision I have ever made.

You loved the children, put up with the crazy cats, and you loved me. I hope you heard everything I told you in the early hours this morning. I meant every word I said. I hope you felt every touch. I breathed with you your last breaths.

My heart is aching and a piece of me is missing. My house doesn't feel like a home without you.

I love you so much, Buster.
