Missi
U-CD, CD, ONYX
Missi, born 3/11/93, was adopted from a sheep farm in Manchester, MI in May 1993. She earned her FD on 12/4/94, her FDX on 4/9/95, her FDCh on 6/25/95, her CD on 11/21/97, her FM on 4/18/98, her FMX on 11/20/99, her FMCh on 5/5/01 and her Onyx on 3/29/02.
Missi loved tennis balls, bones, her housemate Sidney and swimming. She taught me so much about life and what really matters. She was also my good luck charm! The week that Missi came to live at our home we conceived our son after several years of trying.
Missi was diagnosed with cancer in April 2003. Medication gave her several good weeks, and we spoiled her shamelessly. I value those last weeks and my chance to say goodbye. The day we said our final goodbye was one of the hardest I've ever experienced. I miss her every day, and I also cherish all that she brought to my life.
