Our dearest Missy.... the apple of our eyes..... the cause of much laughter and the creator of oh so many wonderful memories. We thank you for coming into our lives and allowing us to share these last 5 and a half years of your life with your crippled little legs and hips, a spine that caused you to wobble from side to side and knees that required braces on many days. Never has there been a rottie in our life that dealt with so much pain and yet continued to take just one more step day after day, year after year. You, our little love bug, were our hero.
Your buddy, Max, has been waiting 2 long years for your arrival at the Rainbow Bridge to once again share the sofa with him as you look out the window.
May your legs know no boundaries in your new home,
May your frail and weakened heart fail you no longer,
May you run pain-free like the wind.
I'll leave the light on and your jingly chain hanging from your favorite shade tree
and think of you as it jangles in the spring breezes next year.
and think of you as it jangles in the spring breezes next year.
Rest in peace, Missy.
.... rest in peace.... rest in peace.
.... rest in peace.... rest in peace.

OH Di..I'm so sorry...we can never fully prepare ourselves for this. I just remember what a friend told me...we could miss the pain but we would have missed the dance...I don't think any of us would want to miss the dance with our four legged friends...
I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am...I can't. I know how you are hurting.
I'm so, so very sorry Di. It seems too many beloved pets are leaving for Rainbow Bridge this year :-(
I am so sorry! They love us so much and leave us so blessed to have shared their lives with us.
I am very sorry to hear that your Missy has moved on. I hope she is running free through a meadow, with no pain.
OH, DI! Oh, dear.
As soon as I saw the title of your post, I started to tear up.
My Eddie is holding on, but we know he can't last at his age.
My heart goes out to you, I know you loved her....and she loved you.
You can't replace her, but there is another dog out there waiting for someone wonderful like you and your husband.
Poor Handsome!
Now you can run free, Missy.
Oh dear...I feared this was coming. So sorry for the loss, but so glad you had Missy for all that time and you brought each other so much joy.
Di, sweetheart ... Missy chose a wonderful mommy when she picked you. Run free, dear Missy.
I'm sending you a hug tonight.

With tears on my keyboard....i'm writing to tell how sorry i am for you loss.....Missy is now pain free and running with the wind in the trees....she was a blessing....
Oh, I am soooo sorry, Sis. E asked me about you and her at dinner tonite. We shed so many tears over our losses and miss them forever. BIG HUGS to you and my BIL tonite.
I am so so sorry for your loss. Our pets are our family members and we are so very attached to them. They give so much and don't expect much in return. What a sweet sweet post.
Please add my sentiments to those expressed above. Sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved pet.
I am so very sorry for your loss. I know how difficult it is to let our faithful companions move on to a better place. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.
((((Hugs))))
Sniff!
So sorry, Di.
I know how much you loved her and losing a family pet is one of life's biggest heartbreakers!

This is a beautiful tribute to a good friend. That collar in the tree got me all choked up.
Blessings.
I'm so sorry for your loss Di. You post is a beautiful tribute to the wonderful pet that she must have been. More than a few tears are being shed tonight for your Missy.
You've been a wonderful mom to that sweet girl. She's had a wonderful life, handicaps and all, thanks to you. You're in my thoughts tonight xo
So very sorry...I know there is a big hole in your hearts...God Bless
Oh, Di. My heart is breaking.
Just read the news...Sorry to hear of her passing. Hugs to you and Dad. ~Crys
Ohhhhhhh, it happened! I'm crying as I read this as I KNOW THE PAIN all too well! A bitter-sweet day - one of pain of loss for you and one of leaps and barks from your fur-child as she's released from bondage! What a GREAT home she had with people who loved her for 'her' - limitations and all! Hope your heart will feel peace soon! Darn!
We just had to say goodbye to our Patsy last week, and I know what you are going through. It may be of no comfort to you now, but things will get better.
I am so very sorry you had to say goodbye to you Missy. Sending a big hug your way...
I'm crying as
I write....
although I knew
it would be
her time to
leave, soon,
it is never
easy to say
goodbye to a
friend....a
true little
hero in her
own way. I'm
sending you
miles of prayers
and big hugs
today, Di.
Love you 'lots!

I am really sorry! I have been there too many times! But I once went to a psychic reading and the medium was so on the button with all my animals it was scary! She told me they are all with me, so that means my house is very busy! So in short, she is now pain free and with you along with the rest of your 4 legged children.
They'll be waiting.
Oh Di, I'm so sorry. This was a beautiful tribute to Missy. Brought back memories of my past dogs, Abby and Heidi. Please be well and give yourself a hug from me. xoxo Cait
Oh, my. It is so very hard, isn't it?
I am glad you *all* had each other.
You are a special lady, Di. Missy was one lucky pup.....
hugs.
xo, misha
I have visited your blog for a little while now, but never commented. After I read your post today, I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about Missy. I know how sad it is to say goodbye; they become such a big part of the family. Your post was such a beautiful tribute to her.
Oh, sympathies and mercies to you all!
I'm so sorry Di. Please know that lots and lots of thoughts and hugs are being sent your way. xxoo
I am so sorry. :(
Oh, I'm so sorry. She was a sweet little girl wasn't she?
I am so sorry about the loss of your dear Missy. My heart goes out to you. I know how hard this is and no matter how much you prepare, it cannot prepare you for that moment when you must say goodbye.
Missy always reminded so much of my Riley, with his bad hips and his slow walk. He struggles everyday and we are blessed to have him in our life. Missy was blessed by you - you made her part of your family, gave her all your love. And I know she blessed you, too.
xoxo

It is hard to say goodbye. Missy is no longer in pain. You gave her a good home and she gave you a good friend.
Di I am so sorry. You know you have been on my mind. Missy, be free of pain now. The collar on Missy's favorite shade tree jingling in the breeze, what a beautiful idea. I'll be thinking of you and your hubby Di and Missy had such a good life with you, that is a wonderful thing. Take care.
Oh I am so sorry. I have tears in my eyes after reading your wonderful tribute to your Missy. You gave her a good quality of like in her golden years.
Di,
I'm just heart-sick about your loss. Heart-sick. God bless you.
Hugs,
Liz
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your sweet comment.
I'm sorry to read of your loss. We lost two of our older dogs this year, one of which had been crippled for several years. I know your heart aches and I'm sorry.
Pam
I'm so very sorry for your loss.
Oh, I'm so very very sorry to hear about Missy. You did what was best for her and I applaud your courage in making this difficult decision.
I know she had five wonderful years with you guys.
Hugs.
Run free Missy, free from the burden of pain and forever young.
Look out for our Harry at the Bridge - he always thought he was a rottweiller and will love to run with you and Max. xxxxxx
She's in a better place now. She's up running and playing. Eating some carrots too. :)
I'm so sorry, Di. She sure knew a lot of love. That's a gift for both of you. Hugs to you.
Somehow in my blog catching up I missed this post. When I noticed your header stating one rottie I went looking. So sorry to hear about your loss Di. It's tough losing one so dear to you. Take care.
I was just catching up on here on your posts and I am so sorry to learn of your sweet Rotty girl's passing. Sending lots of hugs your way, it's been over 2 years and we still miss our Bo, but are so happy for all the time we had with him. This was a beautiful tribute to your sweet Missy. xoxo ~Lili
I am only now catching up on blogs - Di, I am so sad for you. What a wonderful life you gave Missy, but what an ache to leave behind. Hugs to you.
I to am just catching up with blogs and I am so sorry for your loss. I had to make that horrible decision in Jan and even though I know it was the right one to make, I still have days that are just unbearable. Something someone wrote to me stood out and I hope you will find the comfort it in that I did - "We bring pets into our lives knowing it will be for a much shorter period than we would like it to be yet we do it any way. That must say something about how important they are to us." My thoughts go out to you and your family
Di, so sorry you lost Missy this summer. I second what Jo said - we continue to bring our pets into our lives, to give them the best life we can, because we love them so much. They give so much to us~ they're a member of our families,and it hurts so much to lose them. *hugs* to you and I'm glad to see all the posts about Rowdy - what a beautiful boy he is, and I can see he is already bringing much joy to your family, including Handsome!! :)
