Millie! A Love Story: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Millie! A Love Story" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
This book is based on actual events that began in a pet store on Lexington Avenue in March of 2005. Its a story about love and caring.
A full-bred Yorkshire Terrier, Millie was three months old when Roseanne brought her home. Born late December 2004, in Stark City, Missouri, Millie was the smallest puppy in her litter. Her breeder sold her to American Kennels in New York City.
The book follows her from the day she became a part of our family and changed our lives, filling our home with happiness. It threads its way through good times and fearful times. From the unexpected trauma, just five days after Roseanne brought her home, tonearly fifteen years laterthe horrendous months after her battle with cataracts. Through it all, Millies beauty, charm, affection, and bravery brought us closer as a family.
If theres a dog in your home, you will undoubtedly understand the special bond owners develop with these beautiful creatures. In my opinion, one reason may be that dogsor any household petare completely dependent on us. They trust us completely to provide for their well-being.
I cannot explain how we develop our unique love for pets or where it comes from. Maybe its because pet owners have what I would call a pet gene somewhere within their psyche. Not easy to explain. In our case, it simply evolved as Millie cast her spell over us virtually twenty-four hours a day. We willingly became imbued with her spirit, her unrelenting joyfulness.
There are literally hundreds of books that explain the dos and donts of dog ownership. You wont find that advice here. This book is a chronicle of Millies more than fifteen years with us. It relates firsthand how she brought so much love to her mom and dads life.
Each chapter is a window into Millies world. I hope they offer a clear vision into how its possible to love an animal as much as a human, if not more. If reading this book does that for you, then I consider it a grand success.
Follow Millie as she joins our family and grows up with us, spreading joy and love to everyone lucky enough to meet her.

Table of Contents
Silky strands
of golden hair
laced with
gray and black,
flowing in
perfect symmetry
from the center
of her back,
almost to the floor.
Big, brown eyes
search yours for
acknowledgement,
love, caring.
Little spindly legs
support a lithe but agile body
quickly carrying her
from spot to spot.
A slightly tilted head
lets you know shes
listening.
And all we can do
is love her.

Foreword
F AMILY RELATIONSHIPS ARE OFTEN CHARACTERIZED by a fragile balance of frustration, anger, contempt, commitment, and, of course, love. Unlike these incongruous human connections, the uncompromising warmth and affection for a four-legged family member can be a singular demonstration of unconditional love.
The story of Millie and her impact on her human family is a poignant tale of unconditional love, commitment, and sacrifice. I have known no other mother or father who holds a closer bond with their children than that exhibited by the author and his wife with their Yorkshire Terrier. And that affection has been returned tenfold by this beautiful tiny creature.
Millie is an inspiring tale of love that will bring a smile to the face of every reader.
--Peter Marmerstein
Preface
T HIS BOOK HAS A HAPPY ENDING . Throughout the construction of the manuscript, Millie has been very much alive, shrugging off the effects of two surgeries, some minor bacterial infections, and a long fight with blindness. Throughout the ups and downs, she hung in there, never giving up. It was I who couldnt handle it well.
So, yes, the book has its tense moments and its sad moments, holding a mirror up to life, which throws us all a curve ball every so often. Just when our affairs are pressing us down a bit, Millies there and we have to smile. Most agree that a dog becomes part of the family. Yes, absolutely true. But what makes this story especially fascinating is how Millie wove herself into the fabric of our lives.
So read on, and imagine yourself in my shoes, being fortunate to live every day with a loving, caring, and devoted dog.
The Yorkshire Terrier
Y ORKSHIRE TERRIERS ARE ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR , most glamorous breeds in the United States. Originating in York-shire County, England, they were bred to hunt and pursue vermin. Over the years, they became recognized for their unique, well-proportioned physical characteristics, glossy good looks, and keen intelligence. This makes them a natural choice for families in smaller homes, especially apartment dwellers.
Yorkies weigh between four and ten pounds and need to be looked after with care. They have small bodies with tiny bones and a compact structure. They are alert, inquisitive, cute, perky, and self-confident. And they are lap dogs.
The Yorkshire Terrier prefers constant companionship. They enjoy being with their personal humans as often as possiblein the same room, the same car, even the same bed. Sit on your favorite chair or couch and your little gem will be at your side in a flash. But, because they are small and fragile, they must be thoughtfully supervised, and owners should be aware of their Yorkies surroundings at all times to protect them from injury.
