My Duchess passed away today due to a sudden illness. 
I will miss your following me everywhere, keeping me company and watching me intently as I did what would have been the most boring thing for you (code for hours), running up and down the stairs ahead if you thought I was going in that direction, rubbing the side of your face on my hand, and especially your nibbling on my fingers which freaked out other people.
I love you, girl.
Crap.
