Your Pet Tributes

by Andrea
(Worthington, OH)

I was thirteen, and torturing my parents for a dog - I wrote up a contract and drew a picture of the dog I wanted. And I found you - the runt of the Shih Tzu liter, 1 lb 3oz, I saw you and knew you were meant for me.

For 15 1/2 yrs you were my partner in crime, my best friend. Through 7 states, adolescence, house parties, heartbreak, plane rides, costume contests, mardi gras, birthdays, and the birth of my son you were right there. Always ready for what ever I threw at you.

My life is better because you were such a big part of it. I know that you stayed with me for as long as you could, but I miss you so much. True, unconditional, and forever - my love for you.
