Today, my best friend of the last thirteen years left me to go to heaven. When I was four, a big hurricane was going to hit Florida so my dad brought home a copy of the movie My Dog Skip and we watched it together as a family through the storm. When I was seven, I begged my parents to let us get a dog. When they finally agreed, my mom and I traveled to DeFuniak Springs to pick up the dog who would quickly become the light of my life. We, of course, had to name him after the movie we loved so. Skip has brought my family so much love and joy and he was always there when I needed a friend. Words cannot even begin to describe how much I loved and adored him. Things won’t be the same without you, Skippy, but I’m glad you’re no longer suffering and are instead looking over us from heaven. I love you bubba 💛
