Dear Diego,
Every time I open the door you greet me with so much excitement, it makes my whole day when I see you so happy to see me. Every time I leave I shed a tiny tear because I can’t take your cute puppy eyes looking so sad. How am I supposed to leave you for a whole year?
You are my best friend, and I’m sorry I have to go. Thank you for always being there when I needed you. You have been so loyal to me for the past five years, I’m sorry to leave you now. I know you have been wondering why my room is so empty and boxes everywhere. I would take you to college with me but I do not want to take you to a new place and overwhelm you. It breaks my heart knowing I will only see you on my breaks at school. But just know I’m always counting down the days when I can see you again.
I am always bragging and showing you off all the time. You are the cutest thing in the whole wide world. You are my lock screen as well as home screen on my phone. I am going to miss our long walks and cuddles at night. I’m going to miss your kisses and your love. I’m going to miss always having you to come home to. I’m going to worry about you like crazy.
Please do not get into trouble and do not chew on the furniture. I’m sorry I will not be there to sneak you yummy human food. I will constantly call my parents to check up on you. I promise I’m not leaving you because you did something wrong. I would never neglect you or turn my back on you. I promise I have not replaced you. It is just time for me to leave for school because I’m growing up. It is time for me to leave my hometown and my parent’s house. You are apart of the family and you always will be.
You have to take care of everyone in the house. You are so good at protecting the family and me. Please do not be mad or sad. I do not mean to hurt your feelings. I wish I could take you with me, but it would be selfish of me. You are the best dog a girl could ever have. It is going to be so weird not having you around when I need to be comforted. You are the best listener; you just look at me and always wag your tail.
I’m sorry I’m leaving you. I promise someone else in the family will love on you and play with you. I’m so sad but its time for me to leave. I know I have been loving on you and playing with you a lot because I’m going to miss it so much. Diego, I will see you on fall break. Here is a letter telling you why when I leave the house this time I will not be coming back for a long time. I love you, Diego.
Love,
Your proud owner
