Our Little Molly

Our Little Molly has been sick and not eating and when she does eat she couldn't keep it down. About six months ago we found out she had kidney disease. Common in older dogs. During this month she's been having horrible breath and throwing up. Last Sat. the Vet found one of her teeth to be in bad shape and Mon. (today) will have it extracted.

Joey and I took Molly in the Vet today before the tooth extraction, because we wanted to see where she was at in her disease. The Vet first looked at her tooth, and said it wasn't that bad at all. Then looked at her blood work and it wasn't so good. He said to be honest, she only has 3-4 weeks at best to live. During that time she wouldn't be able to keep anything down and she would be throwing up what we tried to feed her.

Joey and I knew, now, that it was time to say goodbye. We didn't want her to suffer anymore than she had too.

We took her in our arms and told her how much we loved her, that she is going to go to sleep now and won't have to throw up and feel sick anymore. That she was the bestest doggie in the whole wide world. We asked her when she gets to this really beautiful place, to think of us and know we are thinking of her. Also when it is time for us to go to sleep, to please be there to greet us.

She went to sleep very quickly with love all around her. Our Little Molly.

Molly had a wonderful life. She was our traveling dog. When we went hiking, she lead the way, and she would always get us back home. Smart, kind and a gentle soul. She could sit up, that was her favorite trick to get treats. She slept always with me during the night. She was fed her favorite foods. If she was cold we would warm her up, if she was warm, we would cool her down with water. She has a million stuffed animals to bite and shake. We spoiled her with all our love.

Molly gave us joy all the time she was with us. She was made just for Joey and I. And we appreciated her with all our hearts. There will never be another Molly, not ever. This was a once in a life time doggie.

{{{hugs}}}. So sorry for your loss. I'm sure you gave Molly a wonderful life. May your memories bring you comfort.
 
Janie,

(((hugs))))My heart goes out to you. I asked my precious girl to look for me at the bridge too. I know our furry children will be waiting for us there. Take comfort that your baby left this world truly loved.
You and Joey are in my thoughts in prayers.

Janie,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your picture of Molly is precious. Just take comfort in all the joy she gave you, and know that you gave her a good life. It makes me so sad, because my Yellow Lab is about to turn 9 yrs old and he's my kid - we're joined at the hip..., and it scares me to think about losing him.

Take care and hugs to you and your family. My heart truly goes out to you and for all others who've lost their beloved fur babies...
 
Janie, I'm sorry for your loss. At least now she's no longer in pain. You did the right thing for Molly.
 
I am so sorry for your loss. Molly is absolutely the cutest little dog. It never gets easier and it always takes me some time to be able to have good memories. Hugs for you and your family.
 
Oh Janie!

Janie, I'm just aching for you and Joey and I am so, so sorry. Y'all absolutely did the right thing for Molly, even though I can only imagine how much courage it took for you both. I have read and re-read what you told her, and I must tell you that they were the perfect words. Perfect. What a blessing to Molly you were, always!

There's not a doubt in my mind that she's at peace, happy and completely unaware of your sadness -- the Good Lord wouldn't have it any other way. I hope you and Joey begin to feel better soon. (((HUGS)))) to you both!!
 
Hi Janie,
I'm so sorry for your loss. All of us pet owners understand. ((Hugs)). You did the right thing. You were blessed to have her and she you. I truly believe we will again see our little friends someday....
 
Oh Janie - my eyes are totally teared up.:( I really feel for you and hope that you take comfort in the fact that you gave Molly the best life she could possibly have. It is so hard to go through the loss of pet. (((((hugs)))))
 
Janie, I am so very crushed to hear about your losing Molly. I can see in your writing about her that she was very loved. I'm so sorry that you had to make the decision yourselves to let her go; that is unbelievably hard, and I hope you find comfort knowing that it was the right way to go since Molly was so ill.

You and Cynthia (the recently passed Mercedes' mom) are such strong people to go through this decision-making process! I sincerely hope that when it's "that time" for my babies, they just go in their sleep-- I am genuinely not sure I can be as strong as you two. :(

Please accept my deepest sympathies, and I know that you'll see her again someday.

Janie - what a selfless, last act of love you gave your Molly. I know it was not easy in any way, but she is at peace now, as you know, and she will be waiting for you. A million hugs to you and Joey!!!
 
Thank you everyone, for the wonderful messages. It sounds like you all know the pain of losing a beloved pet. I'm so sorry. But then again, we learn from our experiences and pass it along to someone who may need help from the pain. I can't thank you enough for that.

My heart is so saddened for the loss of Molly. I keep getting these wonderful memories of her looking up at me. And yet I reach down to pet her, or think I need to feed her... She even got mad a couple of times. Can you believe that?! I could see it in her face. I had to hide my laughter, it was so cute. Memories are starting to come more now, and smiles are appearing. What keeps me going is the fact that I, with all certainty, knew that I didn't want my Molly to hurt/suffer. It was difficult to say the least, but, the hard part is living without her. It's so awful!:(

I've been reading the other post "How About Some Happy Dog Stories?", and I must say I had to laugh at a lot of them. All the pictures are so darn cute! Thank you Afreet, for that forum.

Take care everyone, and know I appreciate your thoughtfulness/caring and wise words to help me get through this.

I'm so sorry to hear about Molly ! (SHe was a cutie!)

What a sad shock to go in to the vet expecting to have a tooth extraction done, and returning home without your beloved Molly.

May the angels in pet heaven guide her on her way.
