Today is a very sad day...my little fluff ball is gone. After a brief three week illness, she took her last breath this morning at 4:40AM with her mommy right by her side. We got up and buried her in a wonderful spot that we will see each and every time we leave and come home. She was a good girl.
I've always had large dogs, big dogs, that bark really loud and could really hurt you, look at Camille's photo, she did not fit that bill.
But what she did do is sit on my lap, chase the ball until "you" were tired of throwing it and go crazy when someone knocked on the door, only to jump up on them and lick them to death once they entered.
She was a city dog, that I am proud to say I got when I married Christine. And then we moved to the farm. She was allergic to everything that a farm had to offer, just ask her dermatologist, that's right...they have dermatologist for dogs, and Camille had a special relationship with the one in Dallas.
She taught me that having a lap dog was okay, she taught me that having a dog that would not listen was okay, she taught me that having a dog that had separation anxiety was okay. She taught this old owner new tricks...I thank her and love her for that.
My grief will lift and fade, but my memories of her will not...I miss her and was not ready for her to go, but I know she is much better than we are now and that has not been the case the past few weeks.
I miss you Millie...you were a good girl...yes you were....

I am sorry for your loss. I can remember how strange I thought it was to hear you say you were taking Camille to have her bath and to get her haircut!! You are a big guy, carry a gun, talk lots of smack! Then you tell me you are taking yall's baby to the beautyshop. I was proud of you, and I am certain Christine and Camille were and are proud of you as well. She was a lucky little dog, and she had a wonderful life with yall.
