Gumbo

Dear Gumbo,

They call you man’s best friend and you were my first real friend and for that you made me humble.

I knew I was in for some fun when I heard you bark.

We would race through the acorns and sticks, until we ran every inch of the yard.

We were inseparable and believe me when I say those times were unforgettable.

I want to thank you for being my best friend because your presence helped me.

And I want you to know that I will forever remember you as my friend not only a sheltie.
