Today when I opened my eyes in never in a million thoughts would I think today would be Mollys last day..Although I guess if I look back the signs were there. Maybe I was naive, or maybe just hopeful, or maybe just wishful..
By 10am something had changed in Molly, she had gone downhill from even the dog she was yesterday. She lay on the couch with a defeated look on her face. She briefly opened her eyes and they spoke the words I knew I didnt want to hear but she had to say..she was tired. She had fought a brave fight..her entire life she was tough, never showing defeat nor pain. In her short life she had many trials and tribulations. Even last month when she developed a toxicity to the medication that had been keeping her alive for a year and a half. Unable to stand by herself she still had the determination to keep on going and fighting..and she did and I fought with her..Carrying her up and down the stairs for almost a week until she was stable enough to trudge them herself..she rallied slightly but never bounced back fully from it.
It seems like in a blink of an eye I was on a plane heading back from Canada with this little bundle of fluff on my lap...She taught so much in her short life. She taught me perseverance, she taught me patience, she taught me humility, she taught me how to stand up for myself, and she taught me to speak up. She also introduced me to a great group of people who I consider friends...heck almost family as I see them more often than my family! The world of Conformation. Because of Molly ive shown in hurricanes, blizzards and even tornadoes! Traveled to many states and think nothing of driving 100 miles each way for the promise of a point. Although now none of that matters but it was quality time spent with my dog. Molly was a great traveling dog and would settle in for a ride no matter where she was heading..never hearing a peep from her until I would get a mile or so from my house. She would uncannily know where we were and would pop up and look out as to say almost home! She would do it all the time at the same spot. We would joke we could drop Molly off there and she would find her way back home..she knew it by heart. It was one of the many funny Molly quirks...
Run free Molly Moo...I know your running happy pain free and barking at Tin foil, the toaster popping up and crunching a water bottle where you are!!
