I found Chelsey on petfinder.com.

I miss Chelsey so much. She was a Great Pyrenees/Mountain Cur mix.
Chelsey didn't get along well with other dogs.. The vet labelled her a liability, saying if she "attacked" other dogs, she might attack a child(the thing is, she loved people, everyone she met was her new best friend. she just didn't like other dogs). She would growl and never bite(at the other dogs in the house. She was never really socialized with other dogs, besides the family pets). However, when I got Minnie,(my 10 pound miniature dachshund mix) Chelsey didn't know who this new puppy was, and what she was doing in her home, so she chased Minnie under the coffee table. I pulled Chelsey away, looked Minnie over, and she had one small puncture mark on her side. That's when the vet said I needed to have Chelsey put to sleep. (and btw, Minnie's doing great, she didn't need stitches, just took a week to fully heal)
One main reason Chelsey had to be put to sleep, was because she was also labeled "unpredictable". Most of the time she was fine with other dogs, however, occasionally she would growl at one of the other dogs.

She was loyal, affectionate, caring, there for me when I needed someone to talk to, she would sit there with me while I cried; she was my best friend.
I'd take her for walks and think about the day ahead. I'd joke that Chelsey was my muse, because I thought of many different story ideas on those walks.

She gave me the best 2 years of my life. And I'll never forget her.
