Millie
This is our Miss Millie. We adopted her from "Reach Out Rescue" in January 2012. She came us as a senior and already quite sick. She has spent her time with us as a sweet, gentle little girl. She really had no adjustment period to get used to our family, which told me in her hey day she was probably a fiesty lil thing.
Millie came to us already with tumors and blind as well as other issues. Over the last 2 months we have seen her health really decline. Our vet (thank you Dr. Redmond) would visit our home often as it seemed there was one thing after another. (we kind of knew it was the beginning of the end) Yesterday it was clear she had horrific pain in her hind legs/back and was unable to walk to get up and go potty or eat. She was clearly miserable.It seemed everything was going wrong and she had lost her will to fight.
Last night Miss Millie went home to be with Jesus. It was an indescribable night for us, yet a peace came over me to see her at resting so peacefully.
This morning has been difficult not to find her in her bed. I just had to remind the children (and myself) that she is now playing like a puppy, running, able to see and feeling whole. Its a blessing to know that she was able to shed her old body and live on.
Just wanted to share our amazing "Miss Millie".
Warmly,
Maria Burns
