Dearest Kayla:

I can not believe that I am writing this to you now. It seems too soon. But, it is what it is. I remember going with your family to pick you out. You were the puppy who loved our little guy, Ben. We all knew you were the one for this family.

The years went by. Your human daddy did a great job training you. I dare say you were better trained then our canine family members. You were polite and did not beg or grab scraps from the table. You came when called and you were quite a sight to see when you were off running, a beast of great beauty and agility.

I loved petting you. Your fur was so soft to touch. I loved your hugs on those just because moments. I loved the way you would run out to our car when we came a-call'in. It was your special way of saying "Hi! Glad you came to visit me! Can you come out and play?"

I was miss you, dear friend. No, you were never my dog, but you were a part of my extended family. You spent time in my home and tolerating Maxi, Mickey and later Coco. I loved you too.

Ten years seems a little too soon for your passing. I thought you had a few more years to go but I am really glad that it was quick. Your family is missing you so much and I know next time I come to your house, it will hit me again that you are no longer with us.

So goodbye. I am glad when your time came you didn't suffer much. Say hello to Maxi and Belle. I'm sure you are already united with them running into the wind and having a grand old time. Peace....
