Dear Lemmy,

You had me at woof.

While on the hunt for a pedigree schnauzer, I discovered a Tokoroa mongrel destined for the pound. Your ridiculous conformation may never win you a “Best in Show” but you captured my heart in an instant. No mood is ever so dark that it cannot be brightened by one look at your goofy face and I challenge anyone to resist a smile when they spot your unusual sleeping habits.

You are never far from my mind, if only because I carry half of your coat around on my clothes. I cannot imagine a life without you.
