Peanut Butter was a true and faithful companion to me for nearly 14 years. The joy she brought to my life and to my family and friends’ lives is immeasurable. She was stability when so much change was around us. She was the best part of me.

I’ll miss our mornings most of all. Moments no one shared with us. We’d walk to the back door as we woke ourselves up and take a look at the day before stepping into it. She’d lean against my side while I told her good morning and rubbed her ears. Our faces fit perfectly together. And after she’d come back inside we’d put our foreheads together while I’d sync a few breaths with hers. Now I was ready to start my day.

She knew me so well, and she trusted me.
Whether it was climbing a rocky trail, or swimming in a pond for the first time, or learning to use a ramp as her body grew tired, she followed me as we did whatever we could to be together.

She traveled to many adventures with me. Her presence allowed me to explore many places freely. I was never nervous traveling alone because I had her company. I always knew if PB was ok, I was ok.

As much as she loved an adventure, she loved her backyard just as much. I’d let the grass grow tall so she could lay in the wildflowers. She could spend all day soaking up the sun. She really knew how to live.

She loved everyone I loved. She was an extension of me, and whatever I was capable of, but without my many faults. My family meant so much to her. She loved to spend time with them. With or without me. My friends and their dogs made her very happy. Shed often be invited to sleep over and she always had a place to go if Ilwe couldn’t be together.

I loved her deeply and will always miss her.

Thank you my sweet PB.
