Buster

I want Buster back

I want to hear the clickety-click of his nails on the hardwood floor

I want to hear the chaotic barking when we enter the house

I want to feel a slightly slimy tennis ball being dropped into my hands

I want to see his smiling face, his pointed snout, and his wagging tail

I want to touch the soft, smooth fur on his beautiful coat

I know his suffering is over, and he’s in a better place, but I still want Buster back
