Dear my old pal,

It's been only a few days since you passed but everything is already reminding me of you. Any time I see a dog, I think of you. Any time I go outside and walk around, I miss you being my walking buddy. I see you everywhere and it's hard knowing that you have gone but I know you are no longer in misery.

I wish I could have been there for you to hold your paw every step of the way but unfortunately I am here at school and that didn't work. I hope heaven is wonderful and that you are enjoying all the other animals who have passed on too. Hopefully at least one other one is as addicted to puppy lattes from Starbucks as you are. Sorry for getting you addicted.

You were an incredible best friend, I always knew that if I came home after a long day that you would be right there wagging your tail to greet me. You always knew how to cuddle and be there for me despite how you felt. I knew I could talk to you about anything even though you couldn't talk back. That made you an excellent listener.

I'm also sorry for all the times mom wasn't home and you had to hear me sing along to every One Direction song imaginable. Maybe my voice wasn't too horrible and I didn't give you too many headaches. If so, sorry.

I will never forget all your mischief and the memories you helped me to create. You helped me get through most of college and I am so thankful for that. I wish you could have been there for so many of my future big life events but your life was not granted long enough. I hope you are having a tail wagging, treat eating, jolly good time up there in Heaven. Say hi to the big man for me and show those other Beagles who's boss.

Love you Dexter.
Your Person.
