Hey Pup,
I'm so grateful you came in to my life when I needed you most. It was almost like love at first sight when I saw your scruffy little face through the glass window. They told me you were the oldest puppy they had, but something told me that that didn't matter and I had to play with you anyway. We only played on the floor for less than five minutes, but I knew immediately that you were mine.
Of course, we had our up's and down's. I mean, who can forget the time we went to obedient school at Pet Smart and you tried to show the Great Dane who was the boss, even though he was ten times your size. Or the time we tried to get you into a harness, and you literally fought tooth and nail, so we just let you sit on my lap in the car. There were also the times you would wake everyone up in the middle of the night to protect us from the cats in the backyard; but someone has to protect us, right? But despite the not-so-great times we've had, I can't thank you enough for all the good ones.
Thank you for coming into my life and being the friend I needed when I needed one the most. Thank you for licking up my tears when I cried, and for never leaving my side when I got sick. Thank you for staying up with me when I needed to get those last minute assignments done, and for being the perfect distraction when I needed a study break. You're the best listener when I need to vent about my life, and you never judge me when I sing around the house when no-one's home. Thank you for always being happy to see me when I come home, no matter how long I've been gone. But most importantly, thank you for being the greatest best friend in the entire world. I don't think I'll ever find another friendship as special as ours.
With love and dog treats,
Your Favorite Person
