She wants to be with me always!

She waits for me to come home, runs to me like a round fluffy ball with her cute doggy ears and her pink tongue out to lick me and greet me with hugs and kisses.

She sits beside me, walks with me, and travels with me. She communicates with me with her large round beautiful expressive eyes, "Take me with you wherever you go, no matter where, I just want to be with you." She says.

She wants to be with me always!

I would say, "You go and sleep, I will be back soon" as she looked at me sadly when I left her and went out. She only waits and waits for me to be with her.

She wants to be with me always!

She sits beside me when I pray, she sits with me when I sing or watch TV and she sleeps under my cot on the side where I sleep.

We watched sunsets together, took selfies, and sat side by side enjoying the nature.

She wants to be with me always!

She is so possessive of me that she would not allow other pets near me. She scares them and protects me.

I am so protective of her that I hate taking her for grooming and reluctantly give her into his hands begging the groomer to take good care of her and return her to me as fast as possible.

Her silky, beige fur gives me warmth and her unconditional love is a solace for me. Not one day has passed without thinking about her even when she is far away from me.

She wants to be with me always!

Gently keeping her paws on me, she offers to kiss me when I cry.

She playfully bites me when I wake up my son warning me not to disturb him. My kids and she grew up together.

She witnessed every moment at home for the last 8 to 9 years. She is one amongst us and knew us and loved us as she lived with us. She moved with us from Dubai to India and also when we shifted our residence 6 times after that.

She is so dear to my loving mom who has never missed asking me even a single day if Kylie had had her food.

She knows my every action. And watches me all day. I comb my hair or put on my shawl, she jumps with joy getting ready to go out.

She wants to be with me always!

Her unconditional love is what she gave us for having her.

It hurts to say no to her. I have never hurt her.

But we both were hurt when I left her in the hospital and the doctor said her condition was deteriorating.

My heart sank with grief just as hers did whenever I left her.

I wept aloud when I saw her dead. I petted her, touched her and felt her kissed her, and tried to wake her up.

How could I leave her alone in the cremation ground? She would be so scared without me.

She wants to be with me always!

Will she forgive me? I know she will because she loves me so much that only she can understand my pain and would want me to take care of myself.

As she was buried, I asked her to sleep as I usually say, promising I would come back soon and praying to God to take care of her.

She wants to be with me always!

I feel guilty for all the missed days with her. Will I ever forget her? No, she will live in my heart forever. Nothing in this world can replace her love.

I am not right if I say I love her more than she loves me.

I will continue to talk to her every day and sit down on the floor with her which she loves more than anything in this world. I can feel her and I know that she is sitting close touching me and feeling safe with my hands on her soft fur comforting her...

She wants to be with me always!

My Kylie, my pet, my love.
