Dear Darling Daisy

What a precious puppy you were, and what a beautiful young lady you've grown to be; you have the face of an angel, and your big, brown eyes, so full of love! Goldens are beloved world wide for their beauty and their gentleness, their devotion and their unconditional love. But your courage and will to live, your joyful spirit and positive outlook despite your serious health issues, put you on a whole other level. Despite facing the most daunting of challenges, you never gave in, enjoying and loving every minute of life to its fullest, every step along the way. You truly are a miracle girl, Daisy, and your strength and determination, an inspiration to us all!

I'm just heartbroken at the thought of you having been struck with such a dreadful disease so young, of you and your Mommy having to deal with such a serious disease. But already you've defied the odds and the experts, Daisy, and I hope and pray that more miracles are in store for you, and that you and your Mommy will know many, many more wonderful years together. I know some tough days lie ahead, including those chemo treatments. But in true Daisy style, I just know that with the help and love and support of your Mommy and family, your amazing vets, you're going to deal with it all in true Daisy style, like the valiant trooper that you are, and come out the other side having won your battle!

What an honor it is, to have such a brave and beautiful Golden girl as our extra special, Sunday Dog of the Day! You truly are a inspiration, and your family so very blessed to have a best friend in you! I know exactly what she means when she says she never knew she could love an animal as she loves you! I hope this finds you well, that you and your family are enjoying a very happy day, with many, many more wonderful years to come!

Much love, and lots of hugs and kisses to you, beautiful Daisy! I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!
