Little Miss Molly is gone

[knine]

My little Liver Dalmatian Molly went to the rainbow bridge this morning. Her health had slowly betrayed her, not being able to get up without help and barely able to walk, occasionally falling down. She laid sleeping almost always except for when I fed her or carried her out for a potty break to her very own ice fishing tent I had set up in the yard, complete with heat and lights with the floor open to the grass all winter so she could take her time and not be cold. She slept on the bed with us the last day and a nap this morning. I took her to the vet this morning and had to let her go. I held her in my arms as she passed and I sang to her "you are my sunshine". There was some debate as to her age when she adopted us in 2003, 12 or so, but she had a great life and lived out her senior days with her friends Patch and Speedee (K.C.). Always cared for, never forgotten. R.I.P my little girl. E. :bigcry:

Oh man, Erin, my heart goes out to you.

I had the same thing with my beloved Stout six years ago next month. It was absolutely the hardest thing I've ever done, and I bawled my head off for days.

Remember the good times, they're memories that will grow fonder as time goes on.

I know Stout was there to meet her up on Rainbow Ridge, my friend.

Heart is with you on this Erin! One of our Cockers may not last much longer and he is only seven. He hurt his back when he was two and it is creating a lot of issues. The worst part is we have his brother and they never have been apart!

Chris and I send our condolences to you and Molly's family.

So sorry to hear.... my condolences to you & yours :(

[Egon Spengler]

Sorry for your loss buddy. She is up in doggie heaven with my dalmatian Smitty. Never easy letting go of a FAMILY MEMBER.

[CBT]

Sorry to hear it, best let another one adopt you soon to help you heal. :dogrun:

Condolences from me and Roxy (my Aussie Cattle Dog).

[SC Cheesehead]

Sorry to hear it, best let another one adopt you soon to help you heal. :dogrun:

That's what I did, but it took two to replace one...

[MM03MOK]

Oh, Earin! I'm saddened to read this. Never an easy decision but we don't want our Kids to suffer. Hugs waiting for you tomorrow. May Molly and all our Rainbow Bridge Kids rest in peace.

[TAKEDOWN]

Damn that sucks, but on the bright side you gave her a good life! My (3) dogs are getting up there in age too...

[DOOM]

Sorry to hear bro.

[LeoVampire]

I am very sorry for your loss!

When we lost Molly and Franky it was devastating to us so I / We totally understand!

I hope they meet each other and play together. As hard as it is to lose them it is worse to know they are suffering so you did the right thing in the long run.

Best wishes to you and yours in the hopes that you can recover from this loss sooner than later!

Sorry to hear that. It's heartbreaking to lose a beloved pet.

My black lab had a heart attack and died on the way to the vet with all of us with him. He took his last breath as we pulled into the parking lot. Man, that was hard!

[Ms. Denmark]

Like Eric said, you will be truly in our thoughts. We send you hugs and want you to know your loss is felt and shared.

[GAMike]

Our family sends our condolences to you on this sad day. Molly will have alot of our families friends to share time with over the bridge as well.

Rest in peace good girl:snoopy:

[knine]

Thank-you everyone. My dogs are my kids, so it's especially tough on me but the support has helped :depress:

So sorry to hear this, buddy. They are always man's best friend and a huge part of our lives. Hug your other pups closer today, it helps.

[AL_GMQ]

They are with us for such a short time. I relish every minute with my 3 dogs. I wish we could afford more than 3 as the kill shelter is over flowing.

I am sorry to hear that. It is never an easy decision to let them go but, at least it is the last gift of love you can give them so they will no longer suffer. When the time is right, another pet will wiggle their way in you life to help you along. Not to replace, just fill another spot.

[wickedmerc]

That really sucks bro. :(
It sounds like you gave that pup an awesome life, 1 that's a million times better than on the streets. 12 years is a good run....you did right by her.

[Gryphonzus]

I am very sorry for your loss! I had to take my Fiancee's two dog's out on seperate occasions to be put to sleep. I took it pretty hard.

[Mike]

Sorry to hear of your loss Erin :(

She was a rescue dog, they speculated her age was 12 in 2003, if that were tru, I got her to 20. My last female Dal got to 19.

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. I will be adopting when I can find another rescue Dal. Patch has already shut down and started lying around.

Very sorry to hear this. Losing a close friend is never easy. I still miss my Duke. :bigcry:
