a silly muse

Two years ago, Penelope became a part of my life. A very important part of my life. It’s funny, because I always remember so clearly the first time I saw her. Usually, when I see a puppy, I do a little ‘aww, I want one’, but manage to walk away. It was different with Penny. I saw her, she looked at my with her doe-like eyes and I knew immediately that she was mine. She’s my little diva puppy, has the greatest personality, is ridiculously well behaved, and a perfect snuggler.

Dear lovely, four-legged sister of mine,

You are in my heart always and I cannot express how sorely I shall miss you, now that you are gone. You were such a bright, cheerful, happy, loving dog who gave an abundant amount of slobbery kisses. I remember the first day we saw you, I picked you up amongst your brothers and sisters and you snuggled into me, under my chin. I handed you off to mum, and we knew immediately you were the one for us. You peed on me on our way to your new home, too, but I was too overwhelmed with how cute you were, I didn’t care.

Twelve years later, and you have filled us all with the greatest of memories and the greatest amount of puppy love. You were our best friend and companion. There is no other like you and I’m certain there never will be, for you’re one of a kind. Just remember how much you touched our lives and everyone else who had the pleasure of knowing you.

I love you Kasey. You were the best sort of sister I could have ever asked for.
