Pet of the Month - May 2011 - Missy Kelly

John and Linda Kelly have a passion for pets. They love both cats and dogs, but when their beloved beagle Kasi passed away, they quickly decided that they needed another small cuddler to help ease the pain. While at the dog show in Waterloo they met up with a breeder of small beagles and within two days were the proud parents of Missy who is also a beagle. Missy is now 6 ½ years old and an integral part of the Kelly family. She is a snuggler, and has to spend time with “Daddy” as soon as he comes home from work and showers him with kisses. She played with assorted toys until one day Linda bought a stuffed fox toy. “Foxy” instantly was the only toy that Missy would play with. She takes “Foxy” with her wherever she goes, uses her as a pillow, and cuddles her as if she was her baby. Missy has recently been on a bit of a diet, but loves carrots, sweet potato, red and green pepper, cabbage and the occasional bite of egg and toast.


Anyone who has dealt with the death of a pet knows the pain of loss. For John and Linda, Missy was the balm to ease that pain and bring joy back into the Kelly family.
