A Tribute to Millie

Summer 2000, “I just want a dog!”
Someone to love, play with, cherish and hug-
“No, no more dogs, they’re too much of a pain,
We’re not going through all that again!”

“Please, Daddy, please – that’s all that I want!”
What man could resist, now for the hunt.
There were pups up the street, all covered in fleas,
We rescued a female, the best one – if you please!

Millenium Dog, or “Millie”, we chose
Black, flying nun ears, brown eyes and white toes.
A terrier mom, mystery dog for a dad
She would become the best dog we have ever had.

Leave a door or gate open, off she would run!
Chase was on, tears were shed – oh but the fun.
Pecans and odds things she would chew every day,
Millie always was ready to cuddle and play.

Chelsea taught her so well, to sleep in the house,
To avoid going out she would hide like a mouse.
Storms or strangers a comin’? Millie always would know,
Keeping the big dogs in line – she put on a great show.

Gone much too young, our little black dog,
She’s missed by us all, leaving our hearts in a fog.
But her memory we’ll cherish, forever we will
As we lay her to rest on our Fredericksburg hill.

Good bye our sweet Millie, from all that you loved
Chelsea, Connie, Waylon, Magoo, Jax & Mo – til we see you above.
