Dear the cutest little munchkin who has ever walked the planet,

I am so sorry. I know it must have been hard for you when I randomly packed up and left home so I could go pursue my studies. I wanted so badly to take you to the dorms with me, but you are too good for that. I would have never made you live in an old dorm room with hundreds of other kids. I know you don't know what college is, but I'm sure you were confused when all of a sudden I wasn't there to cuddle and constantly take Snapchat pictures of you.

I know you've been spending a lot of time with mom now. Like, a lot. She's an empty nester, and you are all she has. Even though I know how much you enjoy your quality time with mom spoiling you, just remember that I'm still going to come home to play with you. You are a majority of the reason I come home so much (Sorry, mom and dad). But, I just want you to know that you're still the best part of our household. (Again, I'm sorry parents, but you all are the ones who adopted her).

I'm sorry for flipping your world upside down when I moved away to college, but if you could speak english, I know you would tell me you understand. You would probably just tell me you're hungry, but a girl can dream. I'm sorry for being a little over-obsessive every time I come home to visit, but have you seen yourself? You are so cute.

I love you and miss you more every day. I hope mom doesn't spoil you too much. Actually, who am I kidding? I know you're the most spoiled baby on the planet and I'm glad you are. If I were with you now you would be getting endless belly rubs. But, let's be honest, you're probably just really excited because now you have the whole house and mom to yourself. I'm jealous.

Love,

Your favorite snuggle buddy who left you for the real world.

P.S. For all the humans reading this, I know you've felt the same kind of despair that is leaving your pet for college.
