Dear Puppy,

I really wish there was some sort of technology that i could use to explain to you that me being at college doesn't mean that I will be away forever. It kills me that you don't know how long I will be leaving for and how much I miss you while I am away. No one here gives kisses and comfort and constant companionship like you do. No one is willing to let me wipe my tears on their ears, or let me rub their stomach until I feel better. I guess I didn’t know what I had while I was with you.

It’s fall right now, and I know that is your favorite season. You love running outside when the weather is just slightly breezy and a little overcast, and jumping in the leaves, and I wish I was there to watch you do it. Are they putting you in your sweater when you go for your morning walks yet? I know how much you hate that, but I promise it's for your own good...Okay, fine it's slightly because of how cute you look in it. But your well being is also a part of it!

I hear you still sleep in my room. I am so freaking jealous. You get a king sized bed with memory foam all to yourself, and I am sleeping on what feels like a cardboard box that feels like it got left out in the rain. Although, I guess the worst part about sleeping away from home is that I don't get to cuddle up next to you. I miss the way you smell, and the little kicks you do while you dream about chasing squirrels. I sleep with stuffed animals here, but they obviously have nothing on you.

Wow, this got way cheesier than I thought it would. I’m sorry, you know how sappy I am. It’s been a rough day, and I guess the worst part about it was knowing that when I got to my apartment you wouldn’t be there to greet me. No one says hello with as much enthusiasm as you do. Although to be completely honest, if anyone other than you tried to pull that crap, I would probably be far from pleased. Anyway, it's only a few more weeks until thanksgiving break! That means I get an entire week to spend with you! I am so excited to see your little face! Hearing the little pitter patter of your paws on the hardwood is going to be worth the wait.

I love you!

Sincerely,
