Dear Chico,

You came into my home a mere two years ago. You brought your sidekick Buddy, your owner and love with you. I will miss the little things you did to make me smile.

Head in my lap with soulful eyes peering up at me for a scratch behind the ears.

The " happy dance" when getting a back scratch.

Sitting "pretty" for a treat.

The obstacle course you created when I wanted in the bathroom.

Being the last out the door to announce possible marauding invaders.

The first in the chow line.

But most of all, just the devotion you had for the people in your life.

You are missed.

Goodbyes are always painful, but know this:

You will always have a special place in my heart.

Peace,

Your surrogate mama, Chris
