My little angel came into our family’s life when we were losing my grand father. Originally we just went to look at a batch of golden puppies in Santa Cruz. This is when I met my best friend for the last 13+ years, she came running over to me, licked my face and I wrapped my arms around you because I knew you were the one. From that moment we were best friends and you taught me so much about life…

Grandpa soon passed away and Daisy knew we were all heart broken; she made the whole family feel at ease with here loving ways. I feel that dogs are here to teach us humans how to appreciate all the little things in life…

I have had my ups and downs like most people in life and Daisy has always been there for me. When I moved from my home town of Santa Cruz, CA to Renton, WA when I was 16 and going through some hard times. Daisy once again was the one I turned to for love. Every night she slept in my bed with me and I would hug her like there was no tomorrow.

My 90 year old grandmother moved in with us and Daisy was her favorite care taker. She would visit every morning and they would share a banana. I would always hear grandma talking to Daisy and when I would go in there the two of them would be looking right at each other and often they would be holding hand and paw. This is one of the most beautiful memories that I will always keep in my heart.

As early back as I can remember back I have always had my little angel with me to help time fly by while having fun each step of this wonderful journey. Over the past couple years her legs had became slowed but her heart seemed to grow bigger. She would follow us around the house every where we would go and wanted to spend every minute of the day next to one of us. I would have to guess that this was because she knew her time here was closing and that we would need ever bit of her time to reflect upon after she was gone. Boy was she right…

I would like to thank you Daisy for being such a wonderful friend, more than I could ever ask for. If only people could live with the kindness that this amazing animal had, the world would be such a better place. There is no doubt in my mind that you were a TRUE Angel! I know that grandpa has a place for you at the end of his bed now and more importantly a good friend to fish and take pictures with…

“Live life as if everyday is your last, smile and laugh often, you never know when you or a loved one’s time is going to be up, so give it all you have and live with out regrets!”

It has been one hell of a run old girl!

Rest in Peace, I will never forget the love and happiness that you brought to my family….

 

With Love,
