Daisy was one of 9 puppies in a shelter. Daisy and her littermates were born in that shelter. I still can picture her all the way in the back of the cage with the other puppies. I was looking at one of her siblings to adopt and Daisy climbed over the other puppies and pushed her way to me. That was the start of a 17 1/2 year friendship and partnership. Daisy you were always there when I needed you. You were there when my Mom died and I remember sitting on the floor and asking you for a hug and you came over and gave me the biggest hug. You were never taught to do this but yet you knew exactly what I said and what I needed.
For my niece and nephew you were the best babysitter. You make sure they did not get into trouble and you watched over them that no one would hurt them. For me you were my constant companion always ready to go with me no matter where or when.
I finally was able to move us from an apartment into a house with a big yard for you. Unfortunately, shortly after the move you became sick. And progressively got worst. I tried everything to help you. But six years ago today December 23, 1999 I had to make the decision to let you go to the Rainbow Bridge. When I saw you at the hospital and your breathing was so hard I knew it was time to let go, As hard as it was to be there I would not leave you alone as you started your new journey. I held you till your last breath talking to you and telling you it was okay and that you will now be able to run again and play and that Grandma
was waiting for you.
Even after you last breath I continued to hold you for a long time before I could leave. A amazing thing happened just as I was getting ready to leave, the hospital’s cat went over to you and kissed you and then kissed me. I took it as a goodbye and a thank you kiss from you.
Daisy you gave me 17 1/2 great years of love and friendship. I will never stop loving you nor missing you.
I know that you are healthy again and playing. But mainly I know that you are waiting for me and we will be together again and our friendship will pick up as if we never were separate from each other.
I love you sweetie thank you for choosing me as you Mom. I love you, I missing you and ALWAYS WILL.
Love Forever and Ever,
