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:

I'm sorry t o hear about Molly. It's not easy but it will get better. I'm not one to advocate getting a replacement, at least not as a replacement, but consider getting another dog, or act as a foster parent to one, and do it for her. That is what helped us when we lost our Alphie.
So sorry about Molly. That is the hardest decision to make – when help them over the Rainbow Bridge. The best consolation is knowing they are no longer in pain/discomfort. We miss our cherished yellow labs.
So sorry to hear of the loss of your little fur-baby. One of my little shelties had to go last year and I still miss her so. I love the teal egg cartons. I've ordered from them before and they are a great company. Good quality and quick to ship.
I am so sorry to hear about your Molly :( brought tears to my heart. I have a 13 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever and I treasure every day with her because I know her time is coming all too soon in the future. Big hugs from Alaska.
I'm so sorry about your loss. our animals are family and it's so hard when they pass. Bless her little soul and may she rest in peace. She will be with you in spirit always.
