A tribute to Hailey our Lil' Missy....
Well after all the happy posts from everyone here I have a sad note. Yesterday we had to have our female dane put to rest as she was suffering from dementia and back hips giving out. (She is the fawn dane in the signature)
Now we only had her for 1 1/2 years but it was one of the best times of our lives. We adopted her from the shelter in Rapid City, SD to help Bailey our male Dane cope with the loss of his other friend Buckshot our former 16 year old Sheltie. Well she came into our life on a very funny start. See Bailey didn't like her at all at first, and when we returned home with her from the shelter Oct. 2005 he made Gina ride in the back seat of the truck. He would not even look at her he was so mad. Well the next day we left home for twelve hours to pick up our first 5er SOB. When we returned to find both of them standing at the top of the stairs wagging their tails. From that time on they were inseperable best friends. When she got sick Bailey would lay next to her or if near her he would reach out with his paw and touch her all the time.
One thing is for sure she got to see the country before she passed getting to more states than most people see in a life time. Sure will miss the morning nudge, the little kisses, and the talking (chewing out) she used to give. But then she will always be with us in spirit.
So here is a tribute and toast to Hailey our Lil'Missy as she will forever be missed. But then she will always be a insperation as to why
"all Dogs do go to Heaven"............
Thanks for all the unconditional love, and memories Hailey, we will miss you.

I'm very sorry for your loss, and I hope that Bailey is doing okay too! It's such a loss to us people, but even more so for their 'brothers and sisters", they don't understand death, they just wonder why their brother or sister is gone. I've gone through that before also, it's so terribly difficult. Hang in there, and thank you for sharing your tribute with us.

Read this in the San Antonio Rescue Scottie Newsletter yesterday and somehow it seems fitting here:
"It came to me that every time I lose a dog, they take a piece of my
heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with
a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of
my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are." Author Unknown.

So sorry for your loss. After reading all the above messages, its clear that pets make humans better people here on earth. After reading this earlier quote from Myrna all I can say is I'm gonna keep working on my "dog heart".

Tom and Gina,
We are so sorry for your loss and we fully understand your feelings.
I couldn't have said that last week. We also lost our beloved " Baby" this week to apparent heart failure. we had her for 15 years.
We understand missing their kisses, and nudges. You can never forget them. You can fill the emptiness with another "friend"but you will never forget them. They will always be in your heart.
We have had so many responses from this group to our notice of "Baby's" passing. it has been very moving. I know that you all will appreciate the replies from this group as well. Take care and God Bless
John and Nancy
