Exactly one year ago I said goodbye to Toffee. He was my companion and friend for just over 11 years.
Toffee loved road trips. He loved walks. He was excited if anyone came to visit, and he would turn in circles when offered vegetables. My days are quieter now. I get up when I’m ready to get up…still just as early as when Toffee would wake me. He always knew (or hoped) that there was an exciting day ahead.
Here are some of the “pets” that have been trying to replace Toffee, but I have not let any of them settle into the house:

Toffee is adorable. I say “is” because he continues to be a huge part of your heart and I suspect, always will. But oh my lord, do you ever have a lot of visitors dropping by! Maybe Toffee is sending them to check on you.

I suspect some of your guests are neighbors, as a few of them look like they lead very happy, healthy lives in someone else’s home. I know how pets enrich and also complicate our lives, but it looks like you have plenty of visitors to keep you company.

In 45 + years of marriage we’ve had to say “goodbye” to too many fury loves.
Nico, my wife’s black poodle has been the toughest. Her constant companion, him. Ayup. Always a “ruff” time! Crazy how they make us laugh and cry all in the same breath. Hugs to your hurt, fellow blogger!
