You know around 15 years ago. I was a mess. I was young. Immature. Spoilt. Selfish and many more things. I had zero responsibility and thought of nothing but myself. I was partying. Doing things I should be doing and in self destruction mode. Then I got Millie. My husky. My best friend. I cannot express enough how much of a strong impact they have on us as humans. She taught me so much. Love, compassion, kindness, selflessness and much more. As me and her grew I met my wife, I had children I was still learning. But if anybody has followed our story over the last 10 years you will know how much of an impact she made on our family. She was such a kind and caring dog, she taught me how to be a good parent. All the things I listed I genuinely not sure if I would have had the love, kindness and compassion if I didn’t get Millie first. I look back now to who I was before Millie and I cannot believe how much of an impact she had on me personally, every decision I made was for myself until I got her. The responsibility it gave me made me open my eyes so wide, she helped me be the best father I could be and also passed that on to my children. Watching my children grow now knowing they have grown up with someone so special like her makes me believe my children will have that love and compassion I never had, people sometimes take for granted dogs, without looking or thinking deeper, understanding that their presence on us teaches us daily such vital things, growing up with animals for us has been so important to how we parent, the love and compassion my children have is so special and I genuinely put most of it down to growing up with animals. Animals are not pets. They are family. Never take them for granted because it doesn’t last forever. Cherish every moment. Take them for walks in the rain. They want cuddles and pets but your watching TV don’t ignore them. Love them because to them we are their everything. Always remember. Dogs are family too💙. RIP Millie. We will never ever forget you. You was one in a million. Fly high beautiful girl💖.
