About Us
Missy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Missy
Age: One year old
Gender: Female
Breed: German Shepherd Mix
Home: Plano, Texas, USA
 
   Missy is special because she loves her family as much as we love her. She is always happy to see us and doesn't hesitate to show it. Actually she loves all people and gets very excited when company comes. She loves to chew, especially on us, but never on the furniture. Good dog, Missy! She sits or gives kisses for treats. She "talks" to us to get our attention and doesn't stop until she gets what she wants. Missy is a happy, lovable, spoiled dog.

    Missy will be two this December. She shakes and kisses for treats and loves to go in the car, especially to pick up my son, Jeremy from school. But Missy has a sad story too. We found out this June that a valve in Missy's heart is in the wrong place and one half of her heart has to make up for the other half. This causes fluid to build up around the heart and lungs. With the care of a good veterinarian, lots of medications, lots of love and lots of prayer Missy is doing much better. We saw her vet just today, and he says that he is amazed by Missy's progress. She is a good dog, and she is definitely our best friend.
