Dear (name of your dog/cat/goldfish/guinea pig/mouse/bird/tiger/penguin, etc),
Hello bestfriend.
I wonder what you're doing today? Are you thinking of me like I am thinking of you? I remember that I never watch you eating. Eating all by yourself. I know you don't want any other dogs in our house because you want the room for yourself and you want our attention to be yours (except for our goldfish haha!)
I also know that puppy eyes of yours that we always give into it 'cause it's too cute that we could almost die from it and I always love those ears that I always want to touch.
Didn't you know that I love patting your head? because just like you, I always feel relaxed.
I also know how lazy your are! You always sleep all day and eat much but you don't care about gaining weight and that just makes me jealous of you but it's okay. I love you, anyway.
How about those times that we left you because we have to go to school or for work, I wonder how you feel about that 'cause when I always leave, I can't help but to stare at you and just say "I'll be back, I promise" always hoping that it could reach you so that you can wait for me. I always like it when you became playful when I suddenly arrived at school/work. You could either jump for happiness or stood up with those two paws and hug my thigh just to welcome me back. If you feel so happy when I arrived then I feel the same way and I want you to know that.
I sometimes caught you staring at me while reading a book and I feel like falling in love. Ugh, it was more sweet than all of the fairy tales combine. And those times when I sit on the sofa and you'll do the same so you can get hugs and kisses and exactly at the right time when I feel depressed or stressed.
I know that you get sick sometimes and it always freak me out because of all the pets I used to have, they died out of sickness so I tried to be with you and pat your head. It's all I can do to make you feel better. Worry bothers me when I'm not there for you when you're sick. When I'm at school, I can't help but think about you. How are you doing? Are you feeling better, yet? What do you need? Questions like that bothers me, worried as you're a part of our family. And when you feel better, I feel like I should thank you for being strong for us...
My dear bestfriend, I'm sorry that I am a sensitive person that sometimes arrived at home, tired and feel like giving up, not knowing that you are here and not giving up on me. I appreciate it that you understand me and helping me to get better and sometimes I just ignore it and didn't realize of what you can do. I'm sorry that I got angry of you making your own noise and it makes me annoyed, ended up doing the things that you don't deserve and making you feel guilty about it.
I'm sorry and I think I don't deserve you for it. I'd like to blame the school itself and its projects that made me pressure, tired and annoyed that you got affected as well but I think it's more because of me. I want you to know that I never want to hurt you as much as possible. But there are times that I feel scared of everything and thinks of you as my only hope and I guess that makes you affected as well. I want you to be happy in return but I am a busy person. I'm too busy to have playtime with you and too busy to tell you how I feel.
I know that you just want to be with me but I can't just do it all the time. I wish I could just pause everything and have that time to play with you but I can't. If only I could just tell them that I have to be with you before it's too late but I'm sure they'll just ignore my reason and act like they don't care about you.
I am well aware that I'm growing up while you are getting old. Time sure flow fast for you and I still haven't done everything to appreciate yourself. That you are the my very bestfriend.
I know that you can't be with me for a long time 'till I get old but at least be with me no matter it was hard. Sometimes I asked myself what did I do to deserve a bestfriend like you?
Why did someone like you choose to love me when all I can do is ignore you?
Why do you still love me when I hurted you a thousand of times? Why do you have to be so kind when all we do is destroy?
We've killed a lot of your family. We killed them in a way of torturing, in a way as a tradition and in a way because we are hungry but why did you still show us love like nothing is happening to your brothers or sisters?! Why did you save us when we need you?! Did you just forget that we are hurting you in return?!
Oh my bestfriend, I have been a snake to you.. I am a traitor!! Then why didn't you revenge on me? Why do you still show those puppy eyes that's so pure that tells me that I am an innocent when I'm really not?!
I'm sorry that I didn't do anything to save your family but honestly, whenever I saw the news or I heard from our neighbor, it really hurt me as if I am one of you and the people who do that, who killed one of you, they don't deserve your love and I am lucky to deserve it. Let us leave them to God's hands and let this moment between us be memorable.
My bestfriend, thank you. I'm sorry I am not the friend you highly expected but I am very satisfied that I have you. To those wagging of tails up to those little paws... I love every single one of it... Thank you for those little things that made a big impact of my life, thank you that I got to lift you up when you're still small and got to touch that soft fur of yours and have those times to teach you how to seat on our sofa and became my playmate when I don't have one. For being my companion whenever my friends leave me and for being at my side whenever we took a bath on the rain together.
And for still being the reason for making me love animals and I'll always love them because of you.
I will never forget those times when I'm with you and I hope you'll never forget it too. I hope you see yourself as apart of our family and as our hero. I'll never forget this day and I would gladly tell my grand daughters/sons about it.
I hope those memories are enough for you to love me even more and I hope you are happy that I became your owner and your bestfriend because if you ask me, you are the bestest friend that God could ever give to me and I would never ask God for everything just you is enough to overcome my problems.
If you ever had problems, go to me and I'll give you a hug. If you're sick, go to me, I'll make you feel better and if you want to go out alone then I'll let you but make sure to come back, promise me that.
This is just a simple letter to tell you that I understand what you are feeling today and to tell you that I already know that you love me. I definitely heard it loud and clear so thank you, for letting me know.
And if there is a wish that will be granted, it is to live with my bestfriend forever...
Love,
Your owner/family/sibling/bestfriend
