Missy the hound
by Erin .........................................
This poem-type thing is dedecated to all the beautiful,amazing animals in our lives and the less fortunate ones without love.RIP missy.

The last time i saw you was sunday morning.October 9th 2011. we went up to feed you. we woke up late and had to leave in a hurry but i made it clear i had to see you before i left.i walked up the steep hill,gaining speed as i saw your pen. And there you were your beautiful red and white fur. the perfect beagle,maybe not show quality but perfect in the best way possible.No imperfections. The light in your eyes as you see me up the hill.your howl will be in my mind and give me chills forever. you have the typical hound howl.you start to jump around on your back legs crying with joy.i run to unlatch the lock on the door. you run into the house as soon as i say:"in the house missy"i lock the inside of the door so i can still get out but you cant leave me to run free.once i unlock your door you jump onto to me,tail wagging as if i were on fire.I promised you the world that day and i never got to do that for you.i wish we could take that last walk,i wish you could have one nice sleep on a bed with me for your last night.If i knew then what i know now i would have stayed with you the entire day.I put you back in the pen gave you your food and treats.The look you gave me will forever be in my mind.sadness and love mixed together in one expression. i walked you and lcoked the door. i said goodbye to you many kisses as usual.This time it was diffrent you looked sad but you still wagged your tail.i started down that steep hill one more time but then changed my mind. i took the back trail.The sun was shining on this october day. around 73 degrees. i look back to you one last time and yell:"i love you missy see you later".You looked back at me and started to howl and cry.i looked back and said i love you again.once i was half way down the trail i took a picture of the sky and the sun,i dont know why but it felt right and i began to also cry. if i could i would have stayed.Tuesday,October 11th 2011.you died peacfully in your sleep.your spirit was let free to roam the fields in rainbow bridge.Your body was no longer old, it was like you were a pup again.October 15th i am told of your passing. i fall to the floor and cry. i cry for 3 hours and then beg to leave the house. all i can see is your face. the look you gave me almost a week earlier.Those big amber colored eyes stareing back at me. What i would give right now to hold you,kiss you,hug you and pet you again.I would give anything just to have another day with you.The guilt ate me alive.I told myself i was "selfish" and "greedy" and all other names.But you dont want me to be sad. you want me to be happy that you are in no pain anymore.You are with me still forever.Your paws follow in my footsteps with every move i make.Not a day goes by that i dont miss you.Today is Tuesday December 13th 2011.As i sit here and right this by the christmas tree,near the other dogs(grace,wil and sully my labs)i look at the ornaments at the top. i decorated the tree myself this year,all the angels are on top.And above the angels are the dog ornaments.Dogs are above human angels because our life without our beloved and our lost pets would be nothing. They may not speak but we hear the words the want to speak.They may not be smarter then humans but there love is more important.They heal us when we cry,by putting there heads close to us and licking up our tears,They in some way tell us to "relax" when we are stressed out.They are our fur Babys and nothing will ever repalce them.Not a love,not a child not a object.Animals are the definiton of love itself.Without our pets where would we be? Even though you could not stay with me any longer missy,You are my guardian now and you taught me how to be humble.Those years we had together were the best.I want to Thank you missy for everything. I love you and you will always be my fur baby <3 i miss you my little houndy. RIP MISSY <3 i love you more then you can imagine.
- love, always and forever
Your Human Mom, Erin
P.S to the reader. here is a quick defintion.
Angel:Someone or something that comes into you life,loves you,humbles you and then leaves as soon as they came into your life.
I love you missy,you gave me the best years of your life.FOR THE READER!!!! ( This story is true, it is about my beagle missy who was a beagle approx. 13 years old.My grandpa found her on the side of the road after she was left to die.He had her since then and then he told me she was mine.She [ased that tuesday morning in her sleep and is buried at my grandpas farm with the other dogs she played with that have passed.She is now playing with her friends in rainbow bridge,waiting for my arrival in heaven.The day we will be reunited will be perfect.She watches over me and keeps me safe.All i can say is that she was the best,she used to sleighride and chase my sisters cat blackie accross the yard.I love you with all my heart missy and i cant wait to see you again.I love you forever and always. Love,Erin.)
