Miss Milly


Miss Milly came to us sight unseen last November as a 10 1/2 year old senior girl in need of a home.  She also came with baggage.  Her owners had divorced and the husband was going to jail for domestic abuse.  She also had a fist sized cancerous tumor that had to be dealt with.Milly was at the vet this morning after a squabble with Isabella. The suturing looked wonderful, and she was doing quite well. As we were walking out to the car to come home, with the vet tech to assist us, Milly's right rear leg shattered when she went to get into the truck. She was taken back in and x-ray confirmed tumor engulfing the leg. No warning, no symptoms, just this sudden devastating shattering. The x-rays were horrendous. Our options were discussed and a conference was held and the decision was made due to her age and previous cancer to not put her through any more misery. She came to us on the spur of the moment decision and I have never regretted that decision. She made herself instantly at home. She was with us such a short time but during that time she was loved and loved us well in more ways than I could ever imagine. She was sweet and wanted nothing more than to just cuddle on the couch. She was dignified in everything she did. She was tolerant of Gus and Bella and watched them with an amused expression on her face when they would act like silly hounds. In the ten months she was with us she settled in our hearts as if she had been here forever. I am blessed to have had this wonderful senior girlie hound come into my life. She made it better. Her journey to the bridge was gentle just as she was in life. I will truly miss her.

Geez, Leslie,

I sure wasn't expecting to see this today. I am so terribly sorry to see that you have lost your sweet Miss Milly. It was so wonderful that she was able to stay with you for the brief ten months and be loved and have such a carefree time. Thank you and your family for everything you did for her. There is another angel at Rainbow Bridge today, joining the many cherished houndies that so many of us have lost. I know that my two angels at the bridge-Tony and Jack will welcome Miss Milly and watch out for her. She was by far a beautiful houndie and what you had done for her was such a loving tribute.

Godspeed, Miss Milly!! May you dance in the green grass in the meadows!

Your GA Friends,

Bonnie, Rich, and da Georgia Houndiez
