The Christmas Puppy

I am having a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit this year so I am going through the Christmas memories that are stored away in my heart. One of my most precious of memories is the one of my darling little Scottie dog named Bonnie Heather MacGregor. Little Bonnie was my first dog and she was also my Christmas present when I was five years old.
Bonnie and I grew up together. She was my constant companion who participated in every little adventure I planned. Bonnie patiently endured wearing little dresses while I pushed her in a doll stroller. I took her to my kindergarten class for show and tell. She was right by my side when along with the neighborhood kids, I dug a big hole in my parent's front yard hoping to find Wonderland just like Alice. And she was right by my side when I cried myself to sleep after being punished for digging that deep hole.
She went through elementary school days, Brownie Troop meetings and more. She was by my side when I practiced ballet and wrote in my diary each night. She was there when I had my first kiss.
Bonnie was the best Christmas present ever. I have never stopped missing her. Bonnie died when I was 17. We grew up together. She taught me about loving a dog and I treasure her memory to this day and will have a dog until the day I die. Merry Christmas dear little Bonnie. I will always love you.
