On Monday last week I lost my best friend, my child, my baby, my confidant, the most loving, loyal sweet companion I could have ever wished for. I am devastated and so is my family. The symmetry is off. Kasper was an integral part of our lives. We hardly went anywhere without him. Never took vacations he didn’t come on. The longest I ever left him was two weeks and that only happened once. He was with us everywhere we went and if he wasn’t it never felt right and we never felt complete. And we certainly don’t feel complete now. I miss him beyond words. I miss all the sounds he made. His nails on our wood floors, the jingling of the tags on his collar, his calming snoring, his little moans when he would cuddle into you or I would pet him, his little whines, his bark. I miss him waking me to eat. I miss his happy dance when he was being fed. I miss him waking from the deepest sleep to come running if he heard any sound in the kitchen. I miss him looking at me and speaking to me with his eyes. I never had a dog who communicated like Kasper did. He was so human. So smart. You could teach him any trick. No problem. But even things I didn’t teach him he just understood. I miss him kicking me in his sleep. I miss our walks. I miss our endless cuddles. I miss coming home to his happy big smile, his wagging tail, his hugs. Yes, he smiled at us. I miss all the mischief he got into. Kasper was my savior when things were hard. For almost three years it was just him and I and he took care of me as much as I took care of him. In the end when he wasn’t feeling well he still never left our side. He comforted us until the very end. I’m not quite sure how to navigate life without him. For now I find solace by looking at pictures and watching videos of my little guy over and over. I might share some soon. Kasper, Kasibasi, Kaspacito, Hans J Beaglman, Kasper Baby, oh Buddy I miss you so much! I love you with all my heart, more than words could ever do it justice ❤️
