/Brought baby Edgey for a stroll by the beach today. His enthusiastic strides and eagerness to mark his territory never fails to put a smile on my face. Seeing him in such good spirits makes me feel untroubled, somewhat contented. Despite that, it saddens me to know that I'll be robbed of his presence for a little more than a month. Will be off to Australia for a vacation; but then again, what's a vacation without your best friend? I'd miss those enchanting eyes, and most importantly, his significant presence.
/I can't do without. But i would see him soon. Sooner than expected. I'd ring the bell and he would be there to welcome me home. /He would be there to comfort my fears all over again. I'm sure he would. /He has to.
