In Memorium

Missy, probably my mother's favorite family pet, pictured below on the left, unexpectedly died Sunday, February 20, 2005, at home. She had been at the vet's office and hospital recuperating from eye surgery. The vet was going to be out of town for the weekend and didn't want her left alone. Mother brought her home for the weekend, and she died of congestive heart failure on Sunday. She lived with diabetes and Cushings diseases for several years but appeared to be a very happy little dog, despite her difficult ailments.

Missy was a very loving, sweet-tempered little dog that wanted to constantly lick on those she loved. She brought my mother a lot of love and happiness. She, like all of our family pets, was a good pet and will be terribly missed. Mother has been so upset by this she waited until today to call me. My mother loved that little dog, and that little dog loved my mother!
