In Memory of Missy

[kaycountrygal]

Hello, I am so sorry for your loss. I know you miss her very much... gone but not forgotten. She was a very pretty girl with her black and white colors. It also sounds as if she was smart and sweet also. I'm so sorry she didnt have a longer life but I'm sure you loved her all the time you had her. Yes, One day you probably will open your home and heart to another dog and still keep Missy in your heart and memories. I'm glad Missy is honored as DOTD! Kay in NC

Beautiful fur angel Missy.
My heart breaks and my eyes fill with tears thinking your wonderful new life with your forever family had only just begun before you were called to the Rainbow Bridge. That precious, simply heart wrenching photo of you with your little person says it all; you were one gentle soul, as beautiful in heart as you were in body. You were taken long before your time, Missy, but I hope your family takes comfort in the knowledge that you left this earth knowing how unconditionally loved you were; a cherished and beloved member of the family. What a precious legacy of love you have left behind, sweet Missy. As your Mommy says, you were truly one of a kind, and the pawprints you've left on the hearts of all how knew and loved you, eternal.
Now you've earne your angel wings, Missy, so run and scamper and romp happily at the Rainbow Bridge, healthy and whole once more, until that joyful day when you and your family are reunited…I know that my girls Jingles and Cody are taking you by the paw and showing you the ropes…that today all of our fur angels will be throwing you a very happy Dog of the Day Rainbow Bridge pup party, celebrating your much deserved day of honor!
To the family of Missy…Thank you so very much for giving us the chance to meet your beautiful Missy and pay tribute to all that she means to you. How lucky you were to have known her uncondtional love, her joyful spirit and devoted companionship.
Bless you beautiful Missy, our very special, Sunday Dog of the Day, Dog of a Lifetime.

Missy, I"m glad someone took you and was able to give you a good life. I am so sad however that it was tragically cut short. You looked like such a sweet girl who gave her love right back.

What a beautiful dog! I have a purebred American bulldog and she and Missy could be sisters. How sure are you about the lab/boxer mix?
I hope you are able to enjoy the love of a new friend soon.

Missy was a beautiful girl. I'm sorry you had to lose her too young.
I hope this day is special for her family seeing her as DOTD!

Missy was a beautiful girl, inside and out. I am so glad to know
she had a wonderful family like yours to love her. I'm sure she was happy
and knew how much she was loved. Missy, our special DOG OF THE DAY.

Dear Friend,
I know it's been a while since Missy left you but by being a pet lover, I also know the pain can last a long time. I lost my much-beloved 16 pound gray tabby kitty-boy named Humphrey in May of 1987 to bone marrow cancer, at the age of ten. If I think about him much or talk about him much, I can still get wet-eyed over him. No other kitty could ever replace my "Pal Kitty" Humphrey. He was "Daddy's Pal Kitty, for sure," to which he would look up at me with those beautiful green eyes about half closed, and quietly go, "Rrrrrah...Rrrrah..." Other times, he would meow loudly, especially after a particularly satisfying time in the litter box, if you get my drift, then go roaring around the house doing 90. Humphrey loved Pop Tarts. He loved telling the birds outside how he would "crunch their little bodies, were it not for the screen separating them," in a funny little voice where his chin would chatter...and now my eyes are wet...Dang, look how long it's been but I still miss my boy Humphrey because he was so special. Right now, I'm looking at my female gray dilute tabby named Erin who is fifteen years old and is also special to me and I know some day...
I had a wonderful puppy dog, a Dalmatian named "M'Lady", AKA "Big Puppy". She lived to be 12, went blind a year before that but could still motivate well enough to get around and then went fairly suddenly. She got so sick and I wasn't able to take her to the vet because I'm disabled. She was in respiratory distress, so hard to watch, and I prayed for her to die quickly and if I'd had a handgun at the time, God help me, I would have shot her to stop her pain...and my eyes are wet again. No, my friend, none can take the place of the Missys or the Humphreys or the Big Puppies, either. What you do is wait a bit, to get used to the idea your beloved pet is gone and then fill the void with another pet. The hole in your heart can only be filled by the Lord but the physical void can be helped by another pet. I know. I've been there. I have a sweet half Shih Tzu, half Pomeranian named "Harvick" who's going to be six years old this summer. I pray he lives a long, long time because he is very dear to me and really helps brighten my days. I consider all my special animals gifts from God because I belong to Him through my Lord Jesus Christ and He cares about how I feel and what I need.
I just wanted to talk a bit, my friend, about filling the void. Perhaps you already have. My heart tells me you have gotten another puppy dog, one to love and to love you with no expectations of it filling the gap for Missy. Just let it create it's own niche, like all our special little friends have done.
May the Lord bless and keep you. May He make His Face to shine upon you and give you peace. May His abundant Love fill your heart and bring healing there, too, but not remove the memories, though. You need to keep those, as treasures to open back up now and again, to remember, even if it brings tears again...
My love to you all, in my Blessed Lord Jesus,
