merledogs Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 It's a year to the day since Milly died She was my soul dog and she has left such a huge hole in mine and the boys' lives that I don't know if it will ever be filled (and nor would I want it to). I remember the day I brought her home. She sat in my lap and looked up at me with such adoration in her eyes that my heart melted completely. She never stopped looking at me like that, although I'm not sure I always deserved it During her short life (6 ½ years) she gave me so much joy and taught me so much. She was always such a good girl and never gave me a moment's trouble. She loved people and went all wriggly whenever she met anyone new. When I cried she would climb on my lap and lick my tears from my cheeks She was also my comedy dog and would make me snort with laughter at her funny faces. Even after she had her leg amputated due to the cancer, and then grew a huge tumour on her neck, she still had a zest for life and would still race round the fields, in and out of the stream, and swimming in the canal - which made it even more devastating when she went. I don't believe in the afterlife, so the most I can hope for is that she had a happy life and that she didn't feel that I let her down at the end Here is her life in pictures - she loved the camera and would pose nicely whenever you pointed it at her More to follow ...

Whizzie Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Thinking of you today & having lost 2 of our dogs within the last 18 months, I have some appreciation of how you probably feel, Millie was such a beautiful girl, both inside & out. Your photos are lovely. It's awful feeling you have been robbed of time you deserved & could reasonably have expected to spend together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houndzrus Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) Alex. Milly was indeed a very special girl and I can only imagine the size of the hole she has left in your heart. Sleep tight gorgeous Milly, the photos and videos are a bittersweet reminder of the life you shared. :flowers: Edited December 20, 2010 by houndzrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruby1Nic Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Hi, I don't post often, but I didn't want to read this and not comment. I hope time will help and I'm sure Millie LOVED every moment of being with you all. xx The one pic that made me laugh of her was one where I think she'd just had a bath and had a really morose look on her face! If looks could kill! (I think she has a bath towel around her - have you got that one handy?) xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Milly was a beautiful girl and so sad you lost her at a young age. A few years ago we lost our greyhound, Daisy, to cancer, aged 6, so you have my every sympathy. She looked like she had a great life with you and was obviously very happy.

Jacobean Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Milly had a wonderful life with you and you had a special bond. Dreadful that she was taken so young. Thinking of you. Take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
