Goodbye sweet girl

I just can't let the loss of our sweet girl go by unmentioned. On Wednesday we had to put our dear Molly to sleep. She was in the beginning stages of kidney failure and then had some kind of blood disorder (not sure if it was cancer or what the issue was) that made her fail quickly. We really wanted to keep her here, but to do that would have been so selfish on our part. IF (and that's a very big if) she pulled through at least three days of misery, she would never have had a decent quality of life and would have been back in the same boat again due to her kidneys (probably within a few months) suffering yet again. It was such a heartwrenching decision, but we just couldn't put her through that.

She has been our faithful companion for 13 years. She has been such a wonderful addition to our family, always full of spirit and personality. She could definately be a bit snobby when she didn't want to be bothered, but never rude. She was always happiest when the lovin' was on her terms. We recognize that we're blessed that everyone in our family is healthy and life could be so much worse, but losing a pet is so hard and we miss her so much.

So, I just wanted to pay tribute to our Molly. I'm ordering this picture to be hung in our home so that we can still see that sweet face every day. She will be terribly missed. Goodbye sweet girl....
