“hey Human…?”
“yes, Hunter-Dude (that’s his middle name), what is it?”
“you’ve been running around here like crazy, so I haven’t had a chance to ask you…”

“Something doesn’t seem right……it’s been awfully quiet… more than usual… and the girl dog? The one that smelled so nice? The one you called ‘Vespa’? Where is she?”
“Oh, Dude, I had to say goodbye to Vespa…she was sick and wasn’t going to get better…. And so I had to let her go be with Glenn…you know…the boy human who lived with us…”
“Oh…… so it really is just the 2 of us? I wasn’t just barking to hear myself bark the other day? They are not coming back? Ever?”
“No, Hunter, they are never coming back… but they both have a special place in my heart…and we will always remember them - you said so yourself, 'cuz their smell is still here, remember?”
“Of course I remember, and I do still smell Vespa…her scent is all over the place…and there is another one too, one I don’t know...”
“That would be Rocky – her half-brother. We adopted you after he died, ‘cuz we didn’t want Vespa to be alone…and we were used to having 2 dogs live with us.”
“Oh. Will you have to say goodbye to me someday?”
“Yes, we both will die someday…and say goodbye… but let’s hope it is not for a long time.”
“Ok. Well, as long as that is settled, can we go for a walk now?”
“Sure…, I’ll get my shoes and jacket – you get your leash………..”
