Goodbye Molasses!

As I sit here sobbing at the computer, I have to reflect on all the happy times we had with our Molasses. Unfortunately she passed away last night as we were heading to bed. She came upstairs with us, went into her crate, made a short whimpering sound and was gone. Olivia was staying the night with Nana and Papa so she wasn't here and doesn't know yet. I didn't get much sleep last night, and I just keep thinking about how I am going to tell Olivia. I remember when I was pregnant with Olivia telling Molasses that I didn't think it was fair to the baby I was carrying because I couldn't imagine loving the baby more than her, and I truly felt that way at the time. Andy and I used to joke that if we ever separated we'd be good about letting each other have shared custody of Olivia, but we'd have to get lawyers involved over who got Molasses. At least she went quick and peacefully at home with Andy and I by her side, but we are going to miss her terribly.

Sweet puppy kisses

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Dogs are truly more than just pets, they are an intricate part of the family. Stay strong!
