Millicent - Millie - how can I explain just what this little dog means to me. Two years ago, I lost both of my precious little pekingese within months of each other. Shawna was 16, and Barney, her "pup" was 13. I lost Barney in March after a long bout with arthritis and bone degeneration. Shawna followed in June, after loosing her sight and having what I think as "doggyzimer's disease". I had them both "put to sleep" and I held each one (as I do all my animals) until the spark of life faded and finally went out. Because I had been through so much with Barney, his death was devastating to me. I cried for days, and Millie was right there will me. She tried to hard to fill the void that he left, and she did a wonderful job. She became my little bed partner, my confidant, my baby. No dog could ever take Barney's place in my heart, but Millie made her own place, right next to him.
Millie is smart - almost too smart. She "figures things out". For example, if she flips her toy up on the table or desk. She will sit and "figure out" how to get it. It is very funny to watch her. She is a wonderful little watch dog also - NO ONE comes in our yard when she is out. She does not like to be in a crowd of people, she becomes very fearful. This is my fault because I did not get her socialized when she was a puppy. But she is my baby and I love her way tooooo much.
