Farewell to Missy
Missy 1991(?) - August 28, 2009. Rest in Peace.
What can we say about Missy? Missy was a survivor. In 1992, Donna noticed that her neighbors were keeping Missy chained up all by herself with no dog house and no food or water nearby. Donna started sneaking over at night to pet Missy and bring her treats. Later when the neighbors moved, they let Donna have custody of Missy. Donna already had a lot of other pets at the time, so Denise took Missy. Denise was always ready to help an animal in need.
Missy stayed with the Engleharts and was able to survive a lot of changes over the years. She adjusted to the move to Ohio and was able to walk through snow that was taller than she was. She suffered the loss of her best friend Tucker and found her true soul mate - Maddie. After Tucker died, Maddie brought Missy into the house to live with her. Missy was completely devoted to Maddie and could not stand to be separated from her. When we were in West Virginia, Missy jumped in the creek and was trying to swim through the rapids by herself to get to Maddie. Maddie saw Missy's little head bobbing up and down in the creek way in the distance. Maddie had to jump in and make her way upstream against the current and through the rapids to save Missy. There was nothing Missy wouldn't do to be near Maddie.
