Daisy

For Olivia

This is Daisy.
Daisy is my dog.
She has a smooshed nose.
She has floppy ears.
Sometimes she drools.
Sometimes she snores.
Sometimes she farts.
It stinks!

Daisy likes to sit by me at dinner.
She likes to play with me in the sand.
She likes to read with me.
Daisy is my best friend.

When I was a baby, Daisy was a baby.
Now I am big and Daisy is old.
Sometimes Daisy’s bones hurt.
She doesn’t run with me anymore.
Or chase the ball.
Or do tricks.

Dad says soon Daisy will go to live with Speedy.
Speedy lives in heaven.
You can run in heaven.
Bones do not hurt in heaven.
Daisy will still love me from heaven.
And I will always love Daisy.
