Dear Socks, 

I remember you from before you were replaced by that upstart dog.  You were beautiful.  I hope you had a happy life and now that you have gone and crossed the road, I hope you are comfortable and safe.  Wherever you are, I hope you have lots of toys to play with and friends to hang with and that you get to enjoy chasing dogs.  I hope you are happy in your new environment.  Sayonara, Socks.

Love, Yvie.
