Dune: "Darn it, 😢 You made it there before me....  my human Grandma... wait for me... wait for me...

Wait for me at the edge of the woods, at the foot of the grassy knoll with your fishin' pole' I'll meet you there.. , on the other side of the rainbow bridge... it's not just for us pets... we will be together.. we will play.. you will once again give me a loving pat and tummy tickles... and I can't wait to see you again ❤ there is no more sadness or suffering, our bodies will never grow old .. please save me a spot by your side.. ❤ 
​
I will Love you forever - in this life you were my biggest fan, and now I am yours... 

Your friend forever, 
Dune Buggy ❤
