To my furry friend,
My sweet angel. You're the most precious being on this earth. From your little pink nose to the fur growing between your toes, you're the greatest little thing to have ever been a part of my life.
And the neighbors will never understand why I love you so much. All they see is the fur you shed that sticks to my clothes or the aftermath of your upset stomach.
They can't appreciate you like I do because they don't experience the little moments.
When you rub against my leg when I'm cooking or the way you sit and stare with your beautiful curious eyes. When you curl up to take a nap, with your paws tucked underneath yourself and your head resting on my arm. When I kiss the top of your head and you reach up and lick the top of mine. Or when you follow me around everywhere just a few paces behind me to make sure you're always by my side. They don't get to lay down next to you and fall asleep to your soft purring.
They don't understand how you always love me the way I love you even if the people around me hate me for what I wear or who I fall in love with.
You could care less about what I have or don't have. Who I love or don't love. Who I'm friends with.
You, my precious little baby, love me for me.
So I will continue to love you for you. On the days where you give an attitude because I left the house early and came back late. On the days where you feel as if you must weave between my feet and I step on you thousands of times. On the days where you lay on the piles of clean clothes that were just washed, covering them in your fur. And even on the days where your age is really catching up with you and you've gotten sick on everything you've eaten so you just stop eating and drinking.
I will love you every day of every month of every year until your days are over.
So to my furry friend... I don't care what they have to say, you're my precious little ball of fur and I love you dearly.
...even if you're being a twat because you couldn't have a piece of my pizza.
