Merry Christmas, Lancypants!

Lancy,

It’s Christmas. It hasn’t felt like Christmas this year. We didn’t put up a tree, the stockings are sitting on a chair. We miss you. I went downstairs and saw your empty stocking and started crying. It’s been four months since we said goodbye, but know the only thing I want for Christmas this year is to have you curled up beside me in bed.

We loved giving you gifts at Christmas. Each year we’d say that we weren’t going to give you and Lili too many toys, but inevitably, you would get more toys and treats than we were going to give you. I guess Santa Paws worked his magic at our house. But it was a pleasure to give you whatever you wanted and if that meant lots of toys at Christmas, then that is what you were going to get.

Did they give you presents in dog heaven? I hope they gave you tug toys, since I know how much you love tug toys. I was picking up toys and came across your green froggy tug toy. I was asking myself the other day what toy would I saw you really claimed as your own, and I think the green froggy tug toy was yours. It’s been well loved and I think of the times you wanted to play with it when we came home from being outside.

I need to run, your sister wants to go outside.

I love you,

Woman
