My Beloved Toby,
In my imagination,
I now see you in the loving arms of your sister, Shahdi, who fell in love with
your puppy cuteness and big ears when she was nine years old. I remember vividly
that glorious Sunday afternoon when she called me from Pet Doctor to ask me to
come and meet you. I obliged and soon after, we walked out with the kindest,
gentlest, most loyal and loving member of our family.
In my imagination,
you are walking freely in a green park full of fragrant flowers with Shahdi by
your side, breathing in clean air and filling your lungs with the aroma of
roses and freshly–cut grass while you are being caressed and loved by her. You are
fed as much milk, kabob, and dental chews as your heart desires without
worrying about getting sick and making your parents upset by having to clean up
after you!
