Millie

Millie belonged to Martyn's sister, who had rescued her from an abusive family. When Martyn's sister was very ill, her wish was for us to have her and look after her, but when Martyn,s sister died two years ago, Martyn's brother-in-law Brian, didn't want to give Millie up, even though he was ill himself and could not look after her properly. From what we can gather, she was hardly ever walked, and had no routine to her life.

When we would visit,she was always pleased to see us, and we would walk her and make a fuss of her. It would upset us to leave her there, but it was her home, and Brian was adamant that he could cope with her, even though he was frail and in poor health.

Last year Brian passed away, so we travelled to Birmingham to pick Millie up. She didn't possess a bed, just a little blanket that she slept on under the stairs, and a few toys that were kept in a shoe box.

From then on she was our life. We spoilt her rotten. She had a comfy new bed and lots of lovely country walks, around the village where we lived, her favourite being the canal walks, where she would pick up branches or twigs, and carry them all the way home. She had routine and structure to her life, and most of all lots of love and cuddles. She thrived with us, and every one said what a difference we had made to her.

Nine months on and you've gone Millie,so unexpectedly, and we are not coping. Our days are not the same without you. We feel you everywhere in the house, garden and surrounding area, where you used to walk and play, but most of all we miss seeing the happy, healthy dog you'd become, not knowing that you had a heart disease, which finally took you. There was so much more we wanted to give you, to make up for the life you didn't have before us. Just last month you were whizzing up and down sand dunes and paddling in the sea when we took you on holiday with us, and we had next year planned as well.

We gave you all we could, but you gave us so much more. I just wish we could have had you just a while longer, but we will have you in our hearts for always.
