Remembering our Missy on Monday

Our house is quiet without our little pug, Missy.    She always made sure to be close by whoever was home.  She loved to lie in front of the tv that way everyone was looking at her.   Pulled up my  old Mondays with Missy posts.  It brought tears of love and joy for this sweet dog.  Some tears for wishing I could just give that sweet little pug one more hug.  Grateful for that last hug we were able to give her and knowing that it was her time -- her pain (and ours) is evident in the pictures.

We flew Natalie home  in May to say good-bye but Missy had other plans.  She was on medication and perked up for several more months. 

This dog has been there for some  tough times  and many sweet, happy times.   When Natalie was going through a very difficult time, Missy was Natalie's number one support.  She moved in with her and simply loved her.    As we know, a loss can bring up other difficult losses.  I hurt for my Natalie <./a>.    

Natalie sent a touching letter for us to read to Missy before she died.  Steve read it and we both cried.

Missy, you were little but the lessons you taught our family will not be forgotten.  Love.
