RIP Daisy dog

One of the most loveable dogs in the world went to heaven yesterday. Daisy Jones Campbell, an 18-pound buff cocker Megan rescued from the pound 11 years ago, was found in their family room when the family got back from a photo session for Jenna's 2nd birthday. The kids needed a nap so Megan just told them to wave goodbye to Daisy and they went to their naps. Megan and Alex buried her in the back yard while the kids slept. Tyler still thinks that Grampy is going to heal Daisy's leg (she had screamed in pain Tuesday night and had been limping but the vet couldn't find any broken bones so suggested pain pills to see if if was just a pulled muscle). Tyler asked if Grampy would fix her and send her back. Megan had to explain that Daisy wasn't coming back. Megan and I lost our two buff cockers within two months of each other. Daisy had not had good treatment prior to landing in the pound. When Megan got her, her hair was matted 1/2 inch thick necessitating a buzz cut so she could feel her skin when she rolled on the rug. She had seizures throughout her life so you just held her and helped her orientate once they were over. But she loved and was loved by all who knew her. She will be missed.
