My mate Skip,
I know you said we can’t live forever, but I’m sad that your time has come.
I will miss our daily chats, you always having a new story to tell and a joke to be had, and Junior greeting me at the door with a wag of his tail and a spring in his step, patiently waiting for a treat, or two.
I hope you are at peace now Skip, thank you so very much for your friendship.
Sending my condolences to Skip’s family at such a difficult time.
