Goodbye to Molly

[Joy]

We have had Molly put to sleep this morning. Yesterday she was clearly feeling ill - lethargic and not eating (unheard of for her). It was very peaceful - she went into a deep sleep and then died. I'm in bits.

So sorry. she was such a beloved girl. She will be missed by us all. Love to you, it's hard but she was such a huge part of your life and leaves such a hole

I'm in bits.

Little wonder - you did so much together and you cared for her so well in her last couple of years Joy.
When I joined the Forum with a harum scarum puppy and later with a rambunctious teenager Molly was one of those whose training and behaviour I as aspired to, and I enjoyed following you both over the years - so thank you xx
Much love and many hugs

I am so sad for you to read about Molly. She looked such a dear dog in the videos and together you will have enjoyed many years of happiness. It is so painful when they have to go.

 

[Jacqui-S]

I'm so sorry Joy.
It's always hard.

Look after yourselves

Oh Joy, I am so very sorry. Red and I were lucky to have met her (and you) that time at Burleigh House. Your care for Molly has been an inspiration. Much love to you and your family x

So, so sorry to read this, Joy. Molly was a gorgeous girl, who GGJ and I very much enjoyed meeting when the two of you visited us a few years ago.
You gave her a wonderful life and she was one of the Forum stars.
Sending love from my Joy and me to you. You're in my thoughts.

Thank you Alison (and everyone). I went out today and as I came in the door I went to call out 'Hello Molly, I'm home' - it was like a punch in the stomach as I stopped myself.
Molly had a very long slow decline, but she's had some happy times over the last few months, with little trips to the beach just to sit and look at the view/ take in the smells. The end came quite suddenly and unmistakably - she stopped eating on Tuesday (nothing could tempt her) and was just lying there looking exhausted and miserable. The vets were very kind to both Molly and me. They put a lovely soft fluffy blanket on the floor so that she could lie on it and I could sit on it next to her stroking her and talking to her while the vet worked. Molly went first into a very deep sleep and then died with no real sign that she passed from one state to another. So as these things go it was as peaceful as possible.

I'm so sorry to read this, Joy.

Its such a painful time when we lose a four-legged member of our family. I can't remember where I read it now but this quote seems to sum it up quite well - "To grieve deeply is to have loved fully."

Take care.
