I thought I would never write in here but here goes...
Tonight I said bye to the most loving and crazy dog I have ever met!
I bought her 9 years ago with my 1st ever wage packet after I left school and was so worth a month without treating myself.
I always said in a past life she had mental issues, we got through so many door handles where she had an obsession with dangling from it.
She was there for me when I miscarried cuddling into me in the nights when I cried myself to sleep and there when I woke up with her head on my bed looking at me.
When I had my daughter she was fascinated by the car seat and although she didn't live with me she loved every visit from us and always stayed near my daughter.
She turned on her twice do was shut in the garage twice (wasn't her fault my daughter fell on her when she was learning to walk but had to make sure Millie didn't do it again, also she never bit her she just growled) and never ever put a foot wrong around my daughter since! She was pulled used as a horse was teased with her toys and she loved every minute of it.
The best time was when I looked out my mums window and saw my daughter walking up the garden with Millie right next to her looking up at her, I opened the window and heard my daughter talking about how she was going to take her to the farm and train her to round up the cows and how when she is older Millie's going to be her sheep dog.
Last September Millie suddenly got a swollen ear which I thought was from a wasp sting so phoned vet who said to monitor it and it should go down within a week, 2 weeks later it was still there so took her to the vet, which was the 1st time she had been for having something wrong with her she was never sick or sorry, she had a blood clot in her ear, they operated to try and remove it but it was unsuccessful but within time the swelling went down and she was fine. She had a couple follow up appointments and everything was good!
A little while ago we took her because she had a lump come up on her teat and luckily was due for jabs anyway but the vet said it was poising cancer and would need an op to remove it, we couldn't afford it so decided to let her have a summer of fun before letting her go, unfortunately she deteriorated a bit quicker than everyone thought, still her usual happy self but getting tired easily and couldn't jump around as well, so we made a decision to have a photo shoot of her running around the fields for her last run and take her to the vets after and say goodbye, that was due to happen next week.
Today I had a phone call saying she struggled to get up this morning so phoned the vets I asked them if they could do anything or if it was the end, they were very straight and said chances are she won't be walking out.
So after a lot of explaining to my daughter my mum and I took my pup to the vets gave her the biggest kiss and cuddle and said goodbye, the vet carried her out to the car wrapped up in a blanket and we put an extra blanket around her that my daughter gave her and she's being buried tomorrow on the farm.
Missing you already Millie mongrel you were the greatest and have had so many people in tears today, you have in One way or another helped all the family through something and been a best friend to baby k she will always love you as will we all, we will never forget the stress you put us through when you wanted a day at school and will never forget your first swim in the sea. Your picture will be the first thing I see when I wake up and although it was by mistake it now stands proudly forever on my chest of drawers.
You were always there for me when my best friend died and although she couldn't be replaced you became my best friend and always will be! Your dad is building a lovely memorial for you so all the kids who loved spending time with you especially baby k can remember you!
I hope the sticks in doggy heaven are big enough to bruise peoples legs and I'm sure your stick collection is piling up again.
Baby k is devastated to have lost her best friend but she knows and has been closing her eyes and remembering what you 2 used to do together, she loves you millions just like we all do!
Rip my girl look down on us and know we done the right thing, it was the hardest thing I have ever done and wish you could stay with us forever xxx
Sorry I've gone on, this is the first time I have ever had to make that decision and has been the hardest day ever!
