I met you when you were two.  Initially, we were strangers.  After a short period of time, it was obvious, you were my dog.  You were my first dog.  I was so excited.  In the past, you would take off if let outside.  When are bond was created, your behavior changed for the better.  I do not have children.  You are my boy, my son.  You have grown up with me through college and through life.  We have lived in numberous places but you made each one your home with me.  I will miss you so much.  I love you my son.  Losing you today was and is a sharp pain in my heart.  Toby, I love you.
