Thank you for sharing this bittersweet part of your life. Sitting here with tears in my eyes-my heart breaking for the torture that poor baby went thru yet so happy that you gave her the love she deserved. Beautiful tribute and lo.
I have tears pouring down my face as I type and did whilst I was reading this touching story. I am so glad for people like you who are there for these poor helpless angels! Dogs especially are so very loyal and kind to mankind! I know she would have brought you so much joy in so little time and I am so glad she died happy, cared for and loved! God bless you for your kindness.
Hugs,

Oh my, I want to cry! Great journaling..love the title. That precious sweet baby! I HATE PUPPY MILLS!!!!!!! The man is an evil fool for dumping Daisy..thank goodness she was dumped near you...angel.
I'm deeply sorry for the heart-wrenching ordeal that you had to face, sweet friend. Thank you for sharing this difficult story (and marvelously beautiful page) with us, I hope that in some small way it helped bring you some catharsis and peace.
I to have tears as i read you beautifull story...she is so luck to have found you & had a loving home. I still cry for my beautiful Maddie (a Rotty) who was helped to pass away..6yrs now. oh..I love your layout!!!
That is a wonderful story! Im so glad you saved "Daisy it reminds me of something that happened tome and my boyfriend ..we were at a creek oneday and we had a dog come up to us, he was hairless, and shaking, starved to death, and muddy. we brought him home and fed him and called the animal shelter. they took him and took care of him and he is now a certified rescue dog.
Such a beautiful story - so heartfelt - I know how you feel - over the years, we have taken in several strays and they have turned out to be the most wonderful companions - so loving - it's like they finally know they're with someone who REALLY loves them. Thanks for sharing your beautiful page!
Such a great page and all too true title. So often there is no one to treasure these unfortunate creatures. Daisy was one of the lucky ones who was able to enjoy a loving home even if it was just for a short time.
You are truly an angel with an eye for beauty. Thank you for sharing this story and your LO with us. I so wish there were more people with as big of a heart as you. My husband and I rescue animals as well. I am extremely touched with your story and in awe at your talent for scrapping! Thank you!
Renea-I just now had time to read this. What a beautiful but sad story. It was SO kind of you to take Daisy in like you did - I know that her last months were happy ones.
WOW, you just made me cry! Beautiful dog, stunning LO! So sad Daisy had to endure such aweful conditions and she got her happily ever after love story!
I like the title of this. I'm so sorry that you only were able to know Daisy for a short period of time but it sounds like you gave her a wonderful life during that time and I'm sure she was grateful for that.
I'm sitting hear wiping the tears from my eyes. Daisy was so lucky to find a loving family that would care for her and make her life whole. That was such a heart warming story and I am so sorry for your loss. I don’t know how people can be so cruel and mistreat dogs…they are the most loving little creatures on earth. The lo is beautiful and what an awesome way to remember Daisy.
I've looked at this lo several times, but I got too choked up to leave a comment. It's so close to my heart, having dear animal "kids" of my own. Your tribute to Daisy is so generous, loving and beautiful. TFS!
Oh Renea that was such a touching story that I'm still crying. God brought you to Daisy and she left this world happy and loved so much, you made her last days so easy for her, God Bless YOU!!!!!!! .... Your LO has to be the most beautiful tribute I've ever seen and that's because it was made with sooooo much love!!!!! ..... Elaine
you had me in tears ...my heart goes out to you..souch a heartfelt story... You did such a great job on your page... a great memory to keep forever love all your detail and Daisy was a beautiuful dog.. it's obvious you both were blessed to have each other. tfs a fave for me!!!
Such a touching story. I am so sorry for your loss but glad that you had the heart to take her in and just as she gave you something special, I think you gave her the same. The page is magnificent and I love all the detail you put into it!
This tore at my heart and made me cry. I love animals, I believe you were her chosen angel, to watch over her and care for her. She did find someone to love her till the end. God bless You. Such an inspirational layout. It's beautiful.
What a beautiful furry girl!!! And such a beautiful story to go with her photos, brought me to tears! I love the layout ~ the colors & embellishments go perfectly with that gorgeous furface! I'm very sorry for your loss, but I'm SO glad that finally Daisy got to live the life a dog deserves to have!!!!!
OMG this story is so heartbreaking....Animals are like having children.....Each and every one I lost was such a traumatic exprerience. I couldn't imagine going through what you did. Your layout is a beautiful tribute for her!
What a beautiful tribute to this little lady! Thank you for taking her in and loving her until she died! I still have tears rolling down my cheeks while I'm writing this! How could ANYONE treat an animal that way is beyond me! I think they should be severly punished and have the very same things done to them that they do to these poor defensless animals! Bless you for caring!
OMG, my heart sunk a little while reading this. *biggiantsquishyhugs* what a wonderful spirit you are, Renea. Your Daisy saw it, too. Beautiful memorial of her.
Gorgeous layout and dog. Very touching story, sounds to me like God gave her to the right person. I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason even if we don't always know what that reason is... Very nice tribute to beautiful Daisy. Thanks so much for sharing...
Oh such a heartbreaking story it really brought me tears to my eyes too. I bet your dog had the best six months of his life with you. Beautiful memory page.
Renae, what a abeautiful tribute to your puppy. They truly do touch our lives in special ways. And you both reaped the benefits of having each other. What a fabulous LO!! XOXO
Renea,this is so beautiful and touching. Bless you for giving this sweet girl a home and all the love you poured into her. Even though you had her such a short time, I can see how deeply she touched your life. Beautiful tribute to a special and beloved friend!
What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful friend. You have put so many details and layers into this page, it's a delight to keep looking and seeing something new each time. The story behind your lo is so touching, yes I got tears in my eyes too. At least Daisy was lucky enough to experience love and compassion in the last months of her life. Thanks for sharing this with us all.
Renea...this is amazing...so heartfelt and true....such a beautiful tribute to such a wonderful friend and companion to you! Thank you for sharing this with all of us!
OMG - it's difficult to see what I am typing with tear filled eyes. Your story is so touching and you lo is AMAZING!!! So many great details and WONDERFUL photos of Daisy. They say that animals live in the moment - thank goodness Daisy's last moments (months) were spent with wonderful people, where love and affection came freely. All our dogs have been rescued from abuse and neglect, so I know firsthand what kind of nuturing and loving it takes to make an abused animal part of your family. You are an Angel with a kind loving heart - bless you. TFS.
This is a layout that features my sweet Daisy. Although she is no longer with me, she is always in my heart.
Daisy was another victim of the horrid puppy-mill world. She was used over and over again to produce liter after liter of babies, then when she was all used up, and had just had her last liter of puppies, her owner dumped her out on the street like trash. She arrived at our place of business, and my husband got her to come to him, and he started feeding her. After a few days, he called me and said he was afraid she was going to die, would I be willing to take her at the house and see what I could do and if she made it, find her a home. I, of course, said yes. He brought her home and she was a mess. She was extremely undernourished, flea ridden with patches of fur missing and teats that had just started to dry up and were covered in mammory tumors. I took a few days to get her settled and comfortable with me handling her, and then took her to the vet. She did not seem to have ever been vetted, due to her condition, she was guessed to be about 7 to 8 years old, although her poor body was more like that of a much older dog. It was also discovered that she had heart worms. We worked on getting her weight up and then had her fixed and all the mammory tumors removed and went through the process of de-heartworming her. Daisy healed, went from 82 pounds to 120, grew a gorgeous, shiny red coat, and in the process stole my heart. The decision was made for me to keep her, and we quickly became best friends. She loved going for long hikes with me and our Jack Russel-Jack. She really loved the lakes and just had the most amazing disposition. She trained really easily for an older dog and lived to please. Six months later, I thought she had allergies, so I took her to the vet and dropped her off. I got a call that afternoon- and I lost my heart. Daisy had lymphoma that had spread through her whole body. Within days, she became so ill she couldn't get up, and I had to make the choice to put her to sleep. I was devestated-still am-even though it has been 3 years, I am still sitting here typing this with tears pouring down my face, as if it were yesterday.
It was so hard, but I swear, even knowing the outcome, I would do it all over again. She brought something special to my life, and I like to think that God gave her to me so that she could die happy and with someone who loved her, not on the street and lonely. She didn't deserve that.
Thanks for letting me share a little piece of my heart with you. ~ Renea
