I had my beloved dog since I was in sixth grade. My parents promised that I could finally get a dog if I placed during my karate competition. I won third place.

I didn’t know what I’d name her until I saw her face to face. She just looked so fuzzy and cute I had to have her. She was so skittish for the first few weeks. She wouldn’t go for walks on a leash so I just carried her in my arms until she felt comfortable being in the neighborhood.

I loved that dog so much. I already miss her more than I’ve ever missed anyone. Goodnight Toffee. I am glad you’re no longer suffering.
