Remembering Bunster: A Heartfelt Goodbye to a Beloved Dog

I will never forget this little bunster.

In a not so distant past life, I had a furry four-legged friend. She was the sweetest little dog ever. When I first saw her running around and barking, I thought how noisy she was and how much I disliked that about small dogs. Little did I know that THIS little barker would win my heart and turn me into a fan of the small breeds.

Her fur was snow white, soft and silky. She had these little black eyes like marbles and loved to give many kisses. She was always ready to play and run around, and she loved her walks more than anything. I was very close to her, and it broke my heart to say goodbye one day.

Years have passed, and for a long time I meant to visit her and take her for one of those walks. I dreamed about her sometimes and never stopped loving this dog. Today, as I sit here at the office trying to focus through the flood of tears, I’ve learned she recently left this world. I’ll never walk her again. Life gets busy, and we often assume there’s always tomorrow. But sometimes, there isn’t.

I used to love watching her prance like the princess she was, feeling on top of the world during our walks. Her beautiful fur flowing in the wind, tail wagging, ready to give kisses at any moment. When she needed to go, she’d spin in circles until she found the perfect spot. It’s a heartbreaking reality that she’s gone.

As I sit here at this lonely desk, I want to share this with you: don’t assume you have all the time in the world. I learned that the hard way. She’s gone now, and no tears, regrets, prayers, or wishes can bring her back. Walk your dog, say “I love you,” whatever you’ve been meaning to do — just don’t wait.
