To my furry companion,

You will never read this, rather chew my computer, but there has not been a day where you haven't made me happy. You cuddle with me and listen to my everyday problems, and I can count on you for always being there.

You are my best friend.

Thank you for always greeting me at the door with such great joy as if you haven't seen me in days. Thank you for following me around the house just to make sure I don't leave again. Thank you for waking me up in the morning and making it a little easier.

Thank you for napping with me, no matter the time, and not judging. Thank you for binge-watching seasons and seasons of Netflix with me, even though you prefer Animal Planet.

Thank you for being there for me through every heartbreak and never leaving my side. You have taught me many things, like not to be sad and that everything will be okay. Kisses make everything better.

Thank you for the endless walks, car rides and days at the parks and for making me laugh and keeping me company all day, every day. Thank you for letting me spoil you with attention, treats, and toys.

You make life a little bit easier, knowing I will come home and get to play with you. Thank you for loving me, even though I take you to the vet and give you baths.

Thank you for making homework and studying a little easier and giving me hope that I can get through this.

You are considered my best friend for a variety of reasons. You're always there when I need you. You will make me happy and cheer me up whenever I need it. You will give me those wet-nosed kisses and you will be willing to play whenever.

Thank you for being the best friend someone could have. You're the one thing that can make me smile in an instant. Thank you for all that you do, but most of all, thank you for being my best friend.

XOXO,

Your favorite family member
