Melissa's Miniature Schnauzers! Wolfgang Amadeus aka Wolf             MillyWilly aka Milly 1984? - 1998 ~Pound dog extradinaire, beloved baby, the sweetest of miniature Schnauzers~ May your spirit live inside us and guide us for the rest of our days.             It has been dark, dreary, too humid, and drizzling. Suddenly and without warning
     the sun breaks through. Its tender rays wrap MillyWilly's legs in healing warmth.
     The heat spreads up her arthritic legs into her degenerating spinal disks,
     freeing her from the pain she has suffered for the last three years. As the pain
     dissipates, her brain clears from the fog that has clouded her thought processes
     this last year. Miraculously, as her thinking centers, her eyes grow sharper and she can
     hear her Papa calling. Running now on strong, sturdy legs she trots toward her car
     which takes her to her favorite park, where years before she and her Mama walked
     miles chasing squirrels, meeting friends, and enjoying the passing of the seasons.
     Sure enough, Mama is there, holding out loving arms. Wolfie no longer needs to guide
     her way, but is now running happily beside her, barely able to keep up. Words like
     squirrel and dog suddenly have a long lost meaning and evoke dancing responses.
     After an extended chase, water is offered in her bowl -- cool and refreshing.
     Treats are to be enjoyed, too. The car door opens once again and as she rides down
     the highway, the windows are wide open. Her little snout pushes into the wind,
     her beard flying like a halo around her head. It's a wonderful day! Such joy she brings
     to those who love her and watch her romp and play. She, who always demonstrates
     true acts of courage, fierce determination, and constancy of spirit for others to
     emulate, is now free. She, who gives her love so unstintingly, is the best dog any
     human could ever have. She sees tears in her papa's eyes. She hears her mama
     softly crying. She barks now to them to tell them she is happy. She is her old self.
     They must remember how wonderful it has all been and once again is.
