Jaxson Baby Wilkes,

The love of my life, the light of my world, my puppy. Words cannot describe how much you mean to me. Pathetic may be one, but you are one of the best things in this world. I don't know what I'm going to do without you. While I'm sitting in my dorm, 30 minutes away from home, I'm going to miss you snuggling up to me in my bed or growling at me because I woke you up to tell you that I love you. This will be the longest we've ever been apart, and let me tell you, I'm not ready. You are such a little ray of sunshine and my heart overflows with love for you -- especially when you open my bedroom door with your little head to come in or when the door is completely shut and you scratch at it until I get up and open it.

You are the sweetest thing in all the land and I knew you'd be my puppy from the moment I held you 3 years ago. I realize I sound like a mother talking about her own child, but bear with me, you'd understand if you met this little dude.

He hypes up everyone who walks through the door. Even if it was an intruder, he'd happily welcome them into our home. Not a great guard dog, we realize this. He goes crazy for treats (especially Lucky Charms marshmallows) & cuddles up to you when you're feeling a little down.

Jax may sound like the average dog to you, but he is absolutely the best pup out there to me.
