Missy, My Misunderstood Girl

(England)

It has been over a year. I miss you so much. You were my gentle giant. You scared me a bit when I got you from a dogs home.

We loved each other. You were so loyal. You had lots of problems. We sorted out your back leg, then you got a tumour in your front leg. I couldn't bear to see you suffer anymore.

Such a gentle soul. Not many people could see that. Being a rotty, they never even thought that you loved a cuddle, loved to play, loved your fluffy toys.

I knew the first moment I saw you behind that window and looked in your eyes that we were meant to be, Missy. You are always in my heart, and my tears are never far away. It broke my heart when I made the decision that you were too good for this world.

My dear, sweet, gentle girl, you were so beautiful. I am so glad that I had you for five years.

Thank you, my darling.
