Thank you for all the happy and sweet memories you have given us these past 17 years, Shirrley. It hurts that you are gone but I also know that youre finally free of pain. I am wishing you an infinite amount of big bones to chew on and an endless field where you can finally run and play in doggy heaven. I hope to see you again someday, and when I do, Ill give you all the belly rubs you could ever dream of. 🙂 Shirrley was a miracle dog. Throughout most of her life, Shirrley was blind. She lost her sight when she was only a few years old. Since then, Shirrley has fallen down plenty of stairs, bumped into almost all the walls in the house, has almost been ran over on the driveway numerous times, and yet, this four pound Shi-Tzu managed to dodge death every single time. I always thought she was invincible, immortal even. After everything Shirrley has been through, she remained unphased. Of all the things that death couldve taken her for, it was because she aged gracefully. Thats why I think shes a miracle dog and certainly Gods favorite. So, I have comfort knowing that shes being spoiled and loved so much more than she has been in this world. She deserves it all and so much more. Shirrley has been with me since I was six years old. Shes been with me from the moment I started second grade up until I finished university. During my last few months with her, I asked her to stay until I graduated college. Id like to think that she listened to me and stayed with me during this new chapter of my life, even though it would be her last. Wherever life takes me, I know that Shirrley will still always be with me. Thank you, again, for all the happy memories Shirls. Love,Kiana
