Dear Chocolate,

To my sweet boy, it's been almost four years since you left us, and the hole that you left in our hearts is still there. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you, I keep you so close to my heart. Life has been so different since you took your last breath, I'm no longer the same girl but at the same time, when I look at pictures at you, I still feel like the 9-year old girl looking at her puppy.

We had an amazing 14 years together, didn't we? So many adventures, slow days, sunny naps and grumpy walks. I had the time of my life, and I will remember you for the rest of my life, my sweet boy. I see you in Buddy and JC, they're a perfect mix of you. Sometimes when Buddy is naughty, I remember the time when you stole a whole burrito and junior chicken off the table. When JC is cuddly, I remember how that was your favourite thing, and you'd bark at me so you could come up on the bed with me.

Choc, you will forever live in my heart, and I will always remember you. Thank you for getting me through the hardest times, you were truly what I lived for. So much joy, naughtiness and love is a small package/

Love,

Alex
