Daisy was a very special
girl. She had no pedigree all we
know was that she was a lab/shepherd mix
and she never earned any titles.
As far as I am concern she was the best
friend that a girl could have ever had.
She was the most kind, gentle, and
loving a creature that few ever have the
pleasure of meeting let alone share a
life with. I'm going to do the
best to describe what a wonderful
companion she was. Almost a year
after her death, it is still difficult
for me to right this.
Back around 1989 after
my first dog died, I was one very
miserable girl with out my little poodle
Boo. My whole concentration that
summer was to earn the money or whatever
it would take to get a new dog just like
in the book Where the Red Fern Grows
(now I was in 5th grade). Low and
behold with a lot of pleading and
sneaking around behind Mom's back who
just happened to be terrified of dogs
(that has obviously been changed) we got
ourselves a dog from a missionary family
from our Church leaving for Pakistan and
were unable to take her with them.
Little did we know she would change
everything.
Daisy was my constant
companion growing up. We went
everywhere and did everything together.
I would ride my bike and she would run
along side. If I would ever be so
mean and leave her at home when I
visited my friend two blocks away, she
would almost always be waiting on
Katie's front porch for me after
managing to get loose some how.
Daisy taught me so much and tolerated so
many mistakes that I made on my part.
She was a very patient and understanding
dog no matter what I did. Although
Daisy never had any formal training, she
could easily perform obedience exercises
through novice and loved agility.
When I was working at an obedience
training center, Daisy loved to go to
the classes and kept up with all
the youngsters at ten years young.
Daisy loved the little
ones. She was so gentle and
patient with children and babies and
absolutely adored their company.
She also had a knack for caring for
abandoned kittens that wandered our way.
Daisy was a great puppy raiser.
Every one of my puppies was raised by
her the last being THX and
his litter mates. And although by
then she was at a frailer state, she
loved every minute with them. On
the other hand, Daisy was a very
dominant and stubborn girl.
However she was fair and could always
convince a bossy dog to pipe down with
out much effort.
It's hard now to
describe her smile, her sense of humor,
and just how good she was...she was just
such a good dog. This page
is dedicated to the best friend that a
girl could ever have...I will never
forget you my dear, dear Daisy and you
will always remain in my heart. |
