Getting out of bed this morning without Molly was not easy. I found myself looking at the clock and remembering the day before what we were doing before we headed to the vet's office.
This is our first picture together. We had just left the breeders house and on our way home~
This was the lockscreen photo on my computer from seven years ago and it's still there today~
Many of you probably don't know but Molly and Mitch both passed on the very same day - April 17th. Mitch passed in 2016 and Molly in 2024. They were best friends as long as food wasn't involved.
Who will sit in front of me and beg for the last spoonful or forkful of my meals?
Who will let me know when a stink bug needs disposing of or there's a fly in the house or a ladybug crawling in the window?
I am happy you will never be frightened by thunder storms or fireworks ever again but I will miss you wanting to climb into my lap for kisses and hugs.
I want to thank Ann for the beautiful artwork tribute and for our many many blog headers throughout the years. You are an absolute brilliant artist, Miss Ann!
"Remember me with tears and laughter. Remember me though it hurts to do so because the pain you have is equal to the love we shared.
There is no good-by if you carry me in your heart.
Remember all the joy we shared because there was so much of it for both of us.
~~Herbie Longfellow Alderdice~~
Good-by my precious and best friend♥
Until we meet again~~
Your mom, who misses you more than life itself♥
Much love and tons of hugs from all of us. We're sure going to miss your beautiful girl.

I loved Miss Molly too. Big healing hugs to her wonderful mom. ♥
ReplyDeleteIt's always sad to read about the loss of a dog, but saying goodbye to Molly seems particularly difficult. Is is because she was an Airedale? (If I had a pound or dollar for every time I'd been asked if my fox terrier was a Airedale I'd be rich by now) Is it because I can relate to the 'single woman losing beloved canine companion pup' situation? Maybe so. More likely it's simply that Molly was adorable, and I loved everything about her.
ReplyDeleteThis post is a beautiful tribute, but no more than she deserved.
Sending love and hugs.
Gail.
Oh Sue, I am crying just reading this. Molly was such a wonderful girl and we are all going to miss her. It never gets any easier saying goodbye. We shall really miss the wonderful pictures of Molly every day. We are sending you lots of hugs, across the pond. Susie & Coco xxxx
ReplyDeleteHow we wish we knew what to say to help your heart. We keep trying to think about the good times and it helps a bit. But memories are bittersweet. Molly was a joy to you and she will remain that way in your heart forever. At least now she is happy and painfree with Mitch and Maggie. Soft woos and gentle hugs from us .

ReplyDeleteA beautiful tribute to a very special galdog. I still miss my angel Jade, albeit as many years passed as we were together, now. There's a special place in the heart for the furkids, is it not so? Sending lots of Love for you in this time of deepest sorrow, YAM xx
I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl.XO
ReplyDeleteI'm so deeply sorry for your loss. There is no greater heartache.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful tribute to your fur baby. Cyber hugs coming your way.
ReplyDeleteWe checked this morning - but NAL's Mom Kathie told me this was here -
ReplyDeleteNAM would be so honored - so proud - so tickled - and we so understand the missing EYES as you did everything - Willow has become that with me - and as I said to Kathie, we all have our quirks so why should our furries be any different - and I honestly was thinking of you - for that first 'the new normal day' and had planned to write tonight to check on you - and now I can not stop thinking of Warren Zevon's 'Keep Me In Your Heart " Sometimes when you're doin' simple things around the house Maybe you'll think of me and smile You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on your blouse Keep me in your heart for a while -
Thanks for giving NAM a pawsome life - and we thank her for doing the same for you -
but from the day we bring them home, we know this day is coming - and we make a promise to them -
Please have 'Sissie' give you a big hug from us' - and please keep your heart and eyes open for your next kitchen assistant
H&K&W,
Willow & Phyll

ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry to hear that sad news about Molly.
ReplyDeleteWe are all so very sorry for your loss. Mom can't imagine not having at least one of us here to keep her company. You and Molly had something very special and she will always be with you in your heart. She is at peace now with all her itching and issues, and she loved you so very much. Lots of GBGV hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteWe send gentle wooos,
ReplyDeleteMany tears... The second I saw the picture of you and Molly I could feel the love between you. Molly was so very lucky to have you by her side. You all made so many memories together. My heart goes out to you as caring for an aging pup can be one of the hardest things to experience. I have been catching up with your posts and you managed her dementia with so much care and compassion. We have never met in person but I feel like I have lost one of my own. I know Mitch was there welcoming her. I'll be sure to whisper to Addie and Lucie to go meet her as well. BIG BIG hugs to you. Please know you are not alone. We are here for you. ... tears...
ReplyDeleteSending big hugs. <3
ReplyDeleteLulu: "Aww, what a wonderful tribute to our sweet friend Molly."
ReplyDeleteJava Bean: "Ayyy, sí, we sure will miss her!"
Chaplin: "We can't believe it's been eight years since Mitch went to the Rainbow Bridge! It seems like just yesterday!"
Charlee: "We can just imagine the happy reunion when Molly got there! No need for them to squabble about food at Tucker's Everlasting Rainbow Bridge Buffet!"
Lulu: "We send lots of tail wags your way."
Oona: "And Oona and the Hipsters send lots of purrs!"
Hi human friend, Ojo here. My person has tears in her eyes and can't type. We both know that words cannot express what kind of loss this is. I know, because I have lost my best dog friend, that Molly is still with you, now and always. We are sending many licks and wags and much love and care in this very hard time.
