It is to walk in the door and no one to greet you and to have nothing or no one to come home to. Each day when I come in the door, I come to no one and feel no one. To hear me come in or to come to the door or to edge in the door as I open it. No one to great as you come in and are ready to relax or go out and feel comfort or love when home. No sounds or words to be heard or echo within the walls and rooms of no one there. To move about the house and to walk the stairs, to hear nothing not a pounce behind you and not even a mere clanking of their name tag. To rush in to be on the computer and to help a friend on the bed or to let them lay there as you are busy. As you leave the room to be the one they look at and follow or to just walk near. To enter each room and to not have them there. As I would move from floor to floor and have a friend to walk down or up or to pick up and carry you through all your times of joy and happiness and sadness. To venture to the basement to work out or grab a thing or too and to wait for you to stop mingling/sniffing all around or to just wait for you to be done. To just climb back up those stairs and be next to you.  As you would walk among the rooms and hall and to feel that one warm spirit in your heart and to feel it as it would want nothing more to then just be next to you! Especially when you would go into the bathroom or to shower and have to leave the door open to just know they are there and they know you are there to! Or to have them come to the door when it is opened, even if closed for a minute or few. They follow you as you get dressed or not move and to just lay next to you. The ever more feeling of a friend watching you as you did anything and all things and go where you would with no hesitation.  To be there and watching at your feet as you make some food, dinner or just a snack an drink. The feeling of being watch all the time for them to just have a nip of all you ate. Watching where you step as you need to juggle them and to continue your task and always feel or hear them to let them know they are there and to be willing to beg and to be willing to be silent and quiet as you eat, drink or snack and watch you. They would just be at your side as you did anything and then just love you without any expectations and more!  Then always close by to kiss you and to have you touch them and to feel them as they are adored and adore you! To fall asleep at your side or fall asleep next to you, in your arms or on your chest and next to you on the couch, bed or at your feet. No nothing to compare to that and without someone or a friend! My first dog, friend, companion and loved one that was my own! I miss you Chewbacca! :o(
