Well my beautiful friend, it has been four years to the day since you went to Puppy Heaven. You are still my puppy, just like the day I took this photo--I want to say in 1994--when you were just the craziest dog ever! I can look at that pic and remember exactly how your fur felt on my hand. Short and tickly on your snout, long and luxurious on your back. I remember how your ears smell, how your paws smell, and how your stinky breath smells! I remember how you sing to me. You are hilarious.
I cleaned off the pond the other day at Mom and Dad's and thought about how you used to play on the ice while I skated around. You loved it over there, and I loved you being there. I still love you being here with me.
You're the best dog. Goodnight Bernie. :)
