Howl Like It’s Your Birthday

Piper! It’s hard to believe we haven’t been together for almost a month and a half. I think about you every day, my sweet and persistent and feisty and fiery beagle. I hope you always knew that I loved you, that I’d always come back for you, and there wasn’t a day that went by where I didn’t wonder what you were thinking or how we could spend time together. Fifteen years. Like a friend said, a million good days and one bad one… so I’m trying to remember all those great moments we had together.

On this day, which would’ve been your 16th birthday, I’ll be thinking about you yet again. Pawing your way through Heaven’s forests looking for that rabbit. Or chasing whatever scent you found. If you can, howl through the clouds and I’ll make sure to be listening all day.

Since 2005, I've called Nashville home. I'm the leader of the pack, which includes a 13-year-old beagle and an 11-year-old blue heeler mix. My days include writing, video editing, and other fun activities. Thanks for checking out my blog, I hope you enjoy it!
