| Melissa Louise 11/25/2002-1/15/2016 |
We said goodbye to Melissa Louise on January 15, 2016. Missy was 13 years old, and the perfect dog for our family. We have so many sweet memories of Missy, and are so thankful that she was able to be a part of our life. If you click the label in this blog under the "missy" category, you can read several of the ways she touched our lives. We will never forget our precious Missy Lou.

Even in her last moment on earth, Missy comforted us- her gift. She could tell we were upset and she moved closer to Welles and pressed her nose/head into his chest to give him one last hug.

We will always hold special memories of Missy in our hearts. She is no
longer in any pain. She can run free in Dog heaven without a leash or
fenced yard. I hope she's enjoying her favorite food once again- cheese
grits- because don't you think dogs should be able to eat whatever they
want in heaven? She's chasing cats and treeing squirrels. Did you know that Missy even knew the Spanish word for cat and she understood when we spelled C-A-T! She is laying
in warm piles of laundry and vacuuming the floors after everyone eats
(oh - and begging for food during meals). Missy isn't scared of thunder or fireworks anymore. She is fetching sticks to her heart's content and digging
enormous holes.

The Queen song, "Best Friend" has always been our song for Missy...
You're the best friend
That I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine
And I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
You're my best friend
I've been wandering round
But I still come back to you
In rain or shine
You've stood by me girl
I'm happy at home (happy at home)
You're my best friend.
Ooh, you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive
Ooh, you make me live now honey
Ooh, you make me live
You're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love the things
I really love the things that you do
You're my best friend
