If you follow my Facebook page, you likely already know that I lost my dog Molly this week. She was fourteen years old and had been with me since she was a puppy. Her health was impeccable until the last year or so, when she developed congestive heart failure and kidney failure, which was too much to ask of her little body ultimately. The decision to help her pass was one of the most difficult I have ever had to make in my life, but I know it was the right one. It was some comfort to have been able to hold her in the end and let her go with the dignity she deserved. It was a blessing to have had her company for so many years, but I miss her terribly. She will always be my first baby. RIP Mol. ♥
Molly was 9 years old when we got our first chicks and while she was fleetingly curious about them, the curiosity soon passed and it seemed either distrust or fear took its place. She never really did warm up to the chickens, but she was tolerant of the countless baby chicks and recovering chickens she shared her space with in my office and subscribed to a live and let live policy, which worked out just fine for everyone.
On a much lighter note…this week’s memes:

So very sorry for your loss. I had the exact same experience with my 16 year old daschund 3 years ago! She was mine from 4 weeks and I loved her dearly. When I finally decided that it was time I was devastated. I held her in my arms and kissed her little head as she slipped off, and even though it was the right thing to do, to this day (like now) when I talk about it I tear up and my heart hurts…. Yes, pain eases it, but never goes away. God Bless you and yours!If we win… Read more »
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you . Molly will always be with you even though she is no longer physically near. Making the decision to set them free is heart wrenching, I can relate all too well. but it is what must be done in return for all the joy and companionship they brought into our lives, it is with the greatest love that we say "until we meet again" and end their suffering. Molly is with you and you are with her. Best wishes. And thank you so much for all the info and endless resources you provide… Read more »
