I had met you 5 minutes now, and the amount of love you lavished on me was priceless. I had fallen in love with you at that very moment. I decided to grab you right there and take you home for someone this cute could not be left alone.
Dearest Jojo,
Do you remember the day we met? Well, I do because I have this indifferent habit of vividly remembering the most special days of my life and of course the incidents that led me to them. You’re the best ever, most exceptional and beautiful thing that could happen to me in a hundred lifetime.
It was the 23rd of July and sort of drizzling weather outside.
I was sleepy, very sleepy that morning and was in a desperate need of caffeine to start off with my everyday drill, I was on my way to get some coffee and I saw you, rolling in the tiny muddy puddle with other bigger dogs who were almost twice as big as you. I could easily make out that you had lost your way and were separated from your mother and other siblings. You immediately stopped and looked at me with those puppy eyes, oh those tiny little eyes!
I guess you were expecting me to feed and pet you for a bit. I immediately grabbed some biscuits and stepped a little closer. As soon as you saw those biscuits in my hand, you pounced on me. I thought that big jump was for food I got you but no, you started licking my face off and started wagging your tail like it’s been so long that you’ve known me. I had met you 5 minutes now, and the amount of love you lavished on me was priceless. I had fallen in love with you at that very moment. I decided to grab you right there and take you home for someone this cute could not be left alone.
Oh, how you slept after the warm shower and a bowl full of milk which you licked away under a minute!
Since that day, I have never been able to thank eternity enough for you. Look at you baby, you’re so big and squishy now. Well, it’s weird to write how I feel for you because you would obviously not read this. It is harder to pen it down on a piece of paper because it reminds me how you peed on my Valentine Letter :(
Although, I am going to try yet again.
Hey Joe, my little labrador, it is because of you, a day does not pass by that I don’t laugh. Your hilarious act is amiss since I have left home. Even in the darkest moments, you have managed to put a smile on my face. You made my day a whole lot better just by snuggling up to me and being there when the world wasn’t. Even though you couldn’t speak your actions and your eyes spoke a lot more than people around me. In a world where I was struggling to find my own place, you made me your priority and for that, I’m ever grateful to you and I miss you my happy place!
Oh, and do you know you’re among the best and wisest teachers I’ve had? You taught me the truest meaning of faith and trust, patience and hope. You made me feel loved unconditionally every single time I was down, disappointed and wasn’t doing great in life. I’ve had my big share of triumphs and failures, ups and downs, many uncertainties. But, regardless of what was happening, there you were, my furry little precious partner, set up to make my good days better and bad days, well, not so bad.
Thank you for the perspective and the connection we share, I might get too glued up to work and my room but you’re a constant reminder of what is truly important, you convince me to walk outside, feel the sun, enjoy the moment, you seem to say “this moment is all we have and the only one that really matters.” ‘Your live life king size attitude’ and ‘this is the best day of my life’- sets a direction of how the rest of my day is going to proceed.
I love you so freaking much that it almost tears my soul apart into half at the mere thought of you not being there. You’re truly a man and a woman’s best friend baby.
Thank you for being there. Thank you for just being. You’re the best and you deserve all the chicken nuggets in the world.
Much much love to you.
-Your favorite Hooman
