My heart breaks as I stopped hearing the clink of your collar, my shadow as I walk thru the house.  My little sock stealer, no more toys all over the floor, no more treats hidden in my chair, no more barks that someone is at the door, no more licks between my toes.  I can still feel your soft cuddles....
