Sheila, my doggie, I miss you already. For 13 years, you were a loyal member of our family, and now you’re gone. It’s hard to move on with life after having something so special for so long.
I will miss the best things about you, such as your intense affection for the children. And your ability to protect them and guide them to safety.
And I will miss the worst things about you, like your mysterious ability to grab burgers off the kitchen sink, no matter how far away from the ledge I placed them in an attempt to evade your grasp.
But most of all, I will just miss having you there. In the Suburban, crammed between the kids’ legs on the way to a camping trip. Snoozing soundly under the bed late at night. And sitting quietly at my feet as I read the paper in the morning.
But I know you’re OK, wherever you are. I hope you can finally, once again, hear the sound of children’s laughter. I hope you can run, and jump over walls like you used to do. And I hope there is lots of herding for you to do—kids, cats, cattle, whatever you prefer. That’s what I know you would want to be doing. That’s what you deserve.
And don’t worry, my trustworthy friend, the kids will be alright. They’re older now, and you taught them well. Your work is complete.
Farewell, my doggie.
