Treeing Walker Hound
Missy you were the best!
You spent your life in a dirty kennel,
a dirty cage on the back of a pickup truck...a life of continuous
whelping and working for The Man. Until one day you were
too sick too cold and hungry and too weak to hunt.
He took off your identifying collar and left you behind.
You found your way here where you got help to make you
well again. For 2 1/2 years you basked in the sun hunted at
your pleasure romped with the others slept by the fireplace
giving us joy and laughter w/ your antics and love.
The old life caught up with you though.
The damage to your heart from the heart worms you once had won.
You left us in your sleep the other night gently...we love you.
We miss you. We will continue our cause in your memory for
all the other Missys that suffer from the Mississippi Still Hunters.
Go play Missy!
