Sadly our beloved Millie has passed.
She loved camping even more than we did. She could always be found quietly enjoying our site from her bed. Here she is 7 years ago at one of her favorite CG's, Patagonia Lake SP:
To all who knew and obviously loved our dear Millie it is with indescribable sadness we must share her passing. As her 11th birthday approached she began to struggle. Losing weight and in the end unable to keep anything down we finally faced the tragic reality that she was dying. She showed no signs of pain through her last days and even managed a short walk on Thursday, the highlight of each and every day of her life with us.
Jeanne stayed up with her Thursday night but by Friday morning we both knew it was time for her to leave us. We called our Vet and he came to our home, her home, at 11 Friday morning to help her over the Rainbow bridge. She died peacefully in our arms, with dignity and unconditional love.
Without question she was the gentlest, sweetest dog on earth and It was our privilege to share her life for more than 8 years. I never once heard her growl or show the slightest hostility toward man or beast. She didn't bark, play or chew things but she understood more about retirement than anyone in Arizona. The simple pleasures of a belly rub or her daily walks always sustained her.
The indescribable pain of her passing will fade but never the beautiful memories of her that we will always treasure. Truly she is now in a better place where her gentle spirit will live on forever.
Our sincerest thanks to one and all for your many kind condolences, they mean more to us than you can ever know.
Steve and Jeanne
