Jester Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 When we met Miss Maisy for the first time, she wasn't the dog we were supposed to meet. We were supposed to meet a dog named Cassie, but during the day the family that adopted Maisy returned her and adopted Cassie instead. Maisy was a wild beast that night (I think she was happy to be returned). The kids and my husband met her as she ran around her foster's living room, jumped OVER the coffee table and then across the couch. My husband looked at me and said, "I want that dog." I wasn't convinced, but I was outnumbered. We couldn't take her home that day because Hurricane Isabelle had taken out our fence so her foster kept her for us for a week. I went to her house every day at lunch time to work with Maisy because I didn't want to take a wild child home. Day 1, her foster mom let her out the door and she ran around the house, doing about 4 laps before she came to me to give me the time of day. I had cookies in my pocket and I quickly taught her to Look at Me. The next day, her foster mom let her out the door and she came running down the steps about to start doing laps when she saw me. She came to a halt and trotted over to me and looked me dead in the eye to get her treat. I just stood there holding the treat to see what she would do next. She looked at me, looked at the treat, looked at me again and then *WHUMP* down went her butt into a perfect sit. Her foster mom asked me how on Earth I had taught her to sit so quickly. Turns out that Maisy was just incredibly smart and had been watching The foster mom's dog Reuben do tricks to get treats and put it all together. Maisy loved to play soccer, loved to play frisby, loved to bark at me when I used the corded phone in the kitchen and couldn't get away, loved to go visiting, and loved everyone. She really was a smart dog and she never used her powers for evil. She never once shredded a thing and never once put her nose in the trash. She really was the sweetest, cuddliest, friendliest, happiest, and just most wonderful dog of any breed I've ever had the pleasure to be with. I never wrote stories about her, but I loved her with all my heart and I really miss her so much already. She was the Best Puppy Ever, Maisy the Mouse, Maisy my Puppy, Mouse. I'm so sorry I couldn't cure your tumors, sweetheart.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
