daisy...our family dog

Daisy was our family dog since I was 12 years old. She was a very wonderful and faithful dog, especially to my mother. She loved my mom with a passion and she became my mom's best companion. She could recognize my mom's car engine from the million other engines that would cruise by our street. I remember the day I began driving my mom's car; Daisy was so confused when she saw me walk into the house and not my mother. She learned quickly though. My mom's new car sounded different and within four days, she had learned to recognize it from the rest.

We first got Daisy when she was only three weeks old. She and other puppies had been abandoned in front of Safeway and my mother, knowing that we (especially Vicky) wanted a dog, decided to bring Daisy home with her. We were such happy kids. She was the cutest thing in the world! She could fit into my brother's boot!

Another memory I have of Daisy is that she was in love with my ex-boyfriend. Daisy loved him so much that she would sit on his lap to get all his attention. If I happened to be lucky and sit on his lap before her, she would slowly get on his other leg and slowly begin to push me off until eventually she was the only one on him. She was so tricky, she and I used to compete to get his attention, but he was really good at giving it to both of us. I loved watching her give him lovey-dovey eyes, it was so cute!

Sadly...today my mother and my sister had to put Daisy to sleep. She had a tumor in her stomach and it was too late, nothing could be done to help her. I am sorry I could not be there to say goodbye since I am in Oregon, but it was probably for the best. It is a pretty sad moment for all of us but we are happy to hear that she is no longer suffering and that she is in doggie heaven. We will miss you Daisy and we all love you so much!
