Miss Olivia TruBrown

Dear Olivia,

When we first brought you home, I had no idea how tremendously lovable you would become! You make my heart hurt in so many enjoyable ways ~ my adorable little puppy!

 Here are some of the countless reasons I couldn’t possibly adore you more…

~ The way you turn ‘round and ‘round to fall asleep and so cutely deeply sigh when you’ve found the perfect spot.

~ How you carry Ducky in your mouth wherever you go as your security blanket and pick him up to greet the door so that he can meet everyone with you.

~ The way you relentlessly paw at everyone and anyone who won’t provide you enough attention that you, oh so deservingly, require.

~ When you press your forehead against mine for a lil’ Mommy Only time.

~ When you wake up with me to say goodbye each morning and then curl right back up with your Daddy.

~ When you run downstairs bright n’ early at Grandma and Grandpa’s to read the paper with Grandpa.

~ How you follow Grandma around for her little treats that she “drops" for you.

  

~ How you and Auntie insistently squabble yet the two of you love to cuddle at night.

~ The way you bark to “protect us” from dangerous things like people coming into the house, other puppies, the wind...sirens…shadows…

~ When you purposely bat your food under the couch and never fail to get us to “fetch it” for you.

~ How you only eat when we eat ~ and bring your food to wherever we are.

~ Your puppy eyes ~ which you use so well!

~ How you are perfectly happy sitting/laying/cuddling all day and everyday.

~ That you and Daddy can wrestle so vigorously and cuddle so gently in the same five minutes.

~ That you truly know when I’m upset ~ and do the forehead thing to make me feel better.

 XOXO

 

Love,

Elizabeth
