My daughter Courtney begged and begged me and my boyfriend for a dog. She even wrote a letter to my boyfriend stating how she would do anything around the house to get a dog. So we began our search (not because we wanted my daughter to do chores) but because we all wanted one. My boyfriend and I wanted a Cocker Spaniel and I finally found one in the paper. We went over to see them and all were sold except one puppy who was the "runt" of the litter. She was so tiny and when we looked in the box her brother and sisters were stepping all over her. It was Christmas Eve when we brought her home to our family and we made the kids hide as my boyfriend brought her in. He had tears in his eyes when he handed my daughter her little "Daisy Rose". She grew up to be quite a little lady who eventually followed me (mom) everywhere. She loved Carrots and would get them often as a treat. She couldn't be without me. She followed me everywhere and slept by my bed or on my head. LOL. Just a few months ago we found lumps in her neck and found out it was lymphoma, I was devestated. A month later my baby was put down. I think about her every day and still cry tears for her, but I know I made the right decision. She was suffering and I did not want that for her, she deserved better. I will miss her always.
