Aww, she looks pretty and happy.

Molly doesn't like the camera. She is wary. Take me ages to get her to look at the Camera. I frighten her once I accidentally left the flash on and took a pic. Molly is aging well. She is 9 this year. I have to admit Molly took a few years to grow on me. I wasn't keen on her at first. But I really like her now. She has too much personality tho and talks too much to everyone vocally.

Looks like such a lovely dog. I really like that snow photo in this last bunch

- that's a shame, she looks like a lovely dog. Hugs, dude...

[RiK]

Awww.. so sorry mate. She looked lovely

[Meow]

Thanks, That's was very hard. I thought it would be easy to put her down. She could no longer able to get up. Her back had gone. Molly had trouble walking, confusion, didn't eat. She was 12 and a bit. It was all so very quick. Sort of normal on Friday until the evening. She was bleeding on Tuesday in her stool there was blood. Though late Tuesday until Wednesday trouble breathing and then she seemed to be OK. Then she had a stroke on Friday evening. Was unable to walk, eat, sit down, She laid on the floor. They said she may possibly live another 2 months. She was in a lot pain. Made me cry at the end. Stupid dog. I'm not sure I could do it again. The House seems empty without her.

She was your family mate, it's totally understandable that you'll miss her but I'd say go get a puppy or a rescue dog ASAP. Having the chance to give a good home to another animal will probably by very therapeutic while you grieve for Molly.

Sorry mate. Feel for you. We lost our dog, who was 12 last year. Family was a mess. Still are at times. Can't believe how much they are part of the family and unlike people are completely loyal and the live is unconditional.

Just remember all the positives. Some say they could never do it again because of the pain. But the good you've done far outweighs the mourning.

Ack. I'm welling up just typing this.

We've now rescued two. So even though we don't feel the same about them yet we're certainly busy!

I was ready to fill the hole in our lives quickly. Obviously they don't replace our old boy but the house felt wrong. However for my wife it was too quick. So everyone varies.

Always going to have two dogs from now. So we're never left without...

[Meow]

Ack. I'm welling up just typing this.

*hugs* Me too. I will for a while. I'm just not sure about another dog in the meantime. I love Molly and I sign the papers to end her life she looked peaceful and not in pain and took less than a couple minutes. She sighed and went to sleep. I'm not sure that I could do that again.

You can because you'll have another 10 to 15 years of joy with another dog. Even more so if you know you are saving it.

But I can understand if you aren't ready.

If you got a puppy then you wouldn't have time to think of anything else! Forgot how mad and how much effort puppies are. One of our two rescues was a puppy this time. First time I'd had a pup in my life since i was 10 and I'm pretty sure I didn't help the family at that age.

[PFVA]

Sorry to hear that

I believe that she had a great life though and you helped make that possible.

I agree with Rik

In time I may.
