Remembering Willow

"Willow came into my life unexpectedly right around the time I got told my old girl Lucy would cross soon. Though she was skittish and shy after about 2 1/2 weeks of treats, sitting by her just watching tv, and patience we quickly became inseparable best friends. We did everything together! Visiting her favorite store in Springfield Fetch Pet Supplies, car rides to jam, getting pup cups and her favorite thing ever: visiting grandpa! Willow was a big scary dog to the world and the world was big and scary to her, but she was my giant baby that left a shepherd sized hole in my heart the day she crossed. She turned all my bad days into good days and turned my tears into laughter. Not a day goes by I don’t miss her but I know she’s up there playing with a soccer ball waiting for me so we can catch up." -Mikayla Williams
