L O V E


L: is for the way she loves us unconditionally

O: is for her outstanding personality

V: is for the variety of ways she makes us smile

E: is for the everlasting impression she leaves on anyone she meets

We are faced with some tough decisions the next few days.

Missy Dog's health and body have ceased to function at full Missy standards. She has lived a long, full, happy, spoiled life with us. Lately, a simple thing as getting up has caused tremendous pain. She has possibly suffered a minor stroke and seems her brain is no longer talking with her body. We are assessing her health and comfort closely.
We had a few friends come by tonight to give her some love and BACON. Thank you to all of you that came by. I know she loved all the attention.

We will keep all of you posted on her condition and are hoping that her heart has exceeded its capacity to hold all the love she has received and just lets go.

If only humans were as AWESOME as this wonderful dog and friend...

What a great tribute to a wonderful family member and friend.
She will be greatly missed by all (human and animal).

We are privileged to prepare her final resting place where she can continue to romp in the fields and creek she so loved on her many visits with us in the country.

"If only humans were as AWESOME as this wonderful dog and friend.." We'd be living in a wonderful world.

Please give Missy a great big kiss from Shannon.

A beautiful tribute to Missy, a great dog, friend, companion. John picked a winner when he brought her home so many years ago. First with John, then with John & Julie, and then with John, Julie & Jillian, she grew up and grew old and gave and received love and happiness. She will be greatly missed, forever in your hearts. May she be rewarded with cheese treats and more in dog heaven.

Losing a pet is like losing a member of your family. I know you loved her and she loved you.
