Remembering Toro

Remembering the times when you came into the household,
mischievous and naughty,
refusing to keep yourself confined in the kitchen by climbing over the fence each time

when you stole a whole piece of chicken chop right in front of me
sleeping on top of the laundry
barking at every reunion dinner, to ensure you get your fair share

biting off my bag strap when you were young and teething
shitting all over my bed and room when you were sick
climbing out of the windows 3-4 times, giving us a scare
and biting us whenever we try to cut your nails

Sorry
that you had to pass away at the clinic without us by your side
for the fracture leg when you were young because of me
for punishing you, sometimes excessively

Thank you Toro
for welcoming me home at the door each time without fail
even if I been away for 3-4 months a couple of times
for bringing so much laughter
and accompanying me in times of loneliness

Thank you for spending all your life with us
Thank you for all your love and attention
Thank you for all the memories

I will miss you.. I already do..

Love you.
