Jasper.. he was a really nice puppy.
Always so happy, he never growled I mean.. unless we were playing tug-of-war.
Like any other dog when you came home he’d happily run up to you while the tags on his collar made a jingle that I will never forget.
He loved to get belly rubs and ate everything he could scavenge off the ground.
He’d put his little nose on the ground and sniff, sniff like there was no tomorrow.
Everyone said he’s the happiest puppy they had every seen, he loved everyone and welcomed them with his sparkling bright eyes.
He would have been the worst guard dog.
I loved my little Jasper.. and I still do.
But.. I feel like I had neglected him.. So I feel bad.. I mean there are times when every owner doesn’t play with their dog, but I just wish.. I had paid more attention to him because he was the only thing in the world that made me feel so loved.
I regret it .. everyday.
Then came the day-
He ate chocolate out of my backpack,
I had foolishly put it there not knowing he’d find it and eat it.
I told my parents we need to take him to the vet, but
they did not listen because I was a kid,
they listened to their foolish friends whom I knew we shouldn’t have listened to
because to them, money was more important than their dogs.
So because of this..
my best friend Jasper,
he passed away.
It feels like my fault.. it was all my fault. I feel so bad for him.. he was only two.. he didn’t deserve to die.
I can’t believe I let that happen to my best friend.
I still have it,
his collar,
the only thing left of him,
Oh, and his paw print..
That collar..
when I shake it..
that sound they make when they hit each other,
the jingle
lots of memories come back to me, and brings tears to my eyes
Till this day
I miss my dog Jasper.
And I will forever..
I know it’s been quite a while, but I still tear up and I don’t know why.
I feel so bad..
So, I promise myself..
The next dog I get.. I will devote everything for him.
I mean I wont be able to give him my full 100% attention everyday, but
I will try.
Jasper..
If
There is another world..
I..
I..
Hope to see you again..
And..
I’m sorry Jasper..
I love you 
my little puppy.. and I’ll always miss you.
I hope you’re in a better place now, where ever that may be.
