not as elaborate as the speech i wrote about you once.

its been many years and many memories later but you are still there deep down and live on in ever four (or less) legged dog that i see. you are undoubtedly the same at heart with you purpose in life to spread the love, sure via slobber and hair, but love nonetheless. i can only feel this guilt for not being there because i wasnt and i am human in that regard. i was always there for you like you were always there for me, i guess it just shifted its actuality some little bit. i know it would be grossly unfair and selfish to not go on loving another dog but i suppose the first and truest love always carries a small flame deep within your heart for the fond memories and good times. i can always compare that but its still very different. you were like my sister and best friend, and now its like i have a daughter to watch over. its evolved and the love has changed and some even say i love her more. but its not the same, she fills a void that is similar but is very different. but that doesnt ever replace you, because i dont really believe in that. i can replace the purpose but never the actual person themself. there can be purposes served in teh same way but they will never truly be the exact copy. you are unique. pawprint for fingerprint. (hu)mans best friend.
