Millie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Millie
Age: Four years old
Gender: Female Breed: Jack Russell Terrier
Home: Bailey, Colorado, USA
 
   Millie was born on September 11, 1999 in Phoenix, Arizona. I received her for a Christmas gift when I was eleven years old. Although she is a Jack Russell Terrier, she has no distinguishable markings, just a few small marks on each ear.

    In February of 2002 Millie developed the symptoms of bone cancer. She was taken to the veterinary hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado where a biopsy was performed on her right hip. It took a few months but she finally recovered from the surgery. She still had a few pains and problems but we finally took her off her last kind of medicine late in the year. It has been a year from MillieÕs surgery and she seems to be doing fine. She is a perky and very fun dog to be around. She had endless energy and loves to bark. When she was young we even taught her to ring a bell when she needed to go outside to be relieved. I think what makes Millie special is the fact that she recovered from cancer and most of all how much fun she is to be around.
