Missy 1994-2009

Missy was born into our family. She was the daughter of Roxy who was also a member of our family. I think Missy and Roxy were a lot alike. I can barely remember Roxy, but I remember my dad coming upstairs and telling us when she had passed away. Tiff and I were playing with our playskool kitchen set in the play room. I remember crying and asking what happened even though I knew she had been run over by a car.

Missy had a baby named Precious a few years later. She was part Chow. We would lock Missy up in her pin and somehow her "boyfriend" (we'll call it) would get into her cage...... This was how Precious was born. I was very glad that Missy had little pups. I must have been in the second grade when her eight puppies were born.

When we moved to Brentwood little Missy and Precious couldn't run around like they used to, they had to stay in our yard. Precious was a little rebellious, so after she bit the neighbors dog for the third time, we had to put the little pup down..:(

Missy was all alone, until we found her a friend named Beeper. Beeper, the cat with no tail.

For some reason Missy always seemed older than me. I always saw her as a mom personality. I never really saw her as a kid dog. She was always an adult to me.

Missy was always apart of our family since I can remember and I know I didn't hardly pay her any attention after I got to middle school, but she makes me reflect on my childhood. I loved my childhood and I'm sad to see pieces of that become memories...

If there is a dog heaven, I hope Missy is there with her daughter and mommy!
