In Memory of Molly Moo
So they had to put down my dog Molly today. This was my baby and I'm kind of upset that I wasn't able to be there. Mom and Dad were there, but its not the same. I wanted to be there to make sure she knew it would be ok, cause no one could calm her like I could. I wanted to make sure she knew I loved her. This may sound crazy to some of you, but she was a part of our family, and my puppy since i was 8.
She was 12 years old, which is pretty good for a dog her size. My hound puppy. A large dog who still thought she was a lap dog. She was scared of christmas trees. She would always run under the bed during a lightening storm...or when I was little she would crawl into bed with me.
I remember when we got her. It was a flea market in houston. Mom and dad told us to look around at the puppies, so i went off on my own. I passed by the cages and there was one puppy that looked so sweet. I petted her in the cage but I heard my mom calling. When I started to walk off she barked madly, and I turned and I said, "Don't worry...Ill promise I'll come back for you". I dragged my parents to those cages and told them I found our dog. we all picked her up and hugged her. I was the last one to hug her, and I never let go of her for the rest of the day. I remember sitting on the floor of our van and the dog was asleep on mom's knee, and she looked so sweet and I knew I had found my new best friend.
I had gotten sick on the way home and when we got home, mom and dad laid me in the bed, and then they put molly at the end of the bed. She crawled up and laid on my chest and just sat there licking my face. I swear Molly always knew when I was upset. There were so many times i would hug her and cry growing up.
She was the first dog I got to train. I remember summers playing fetch with her until the sun went down. Until she lost her eyesight she could catch any ball I threw at her. And none of the other dogs ever learned.
I remember when I left for LSMSA, how mom would call me and tell me how crazy Molly got. She would wait by the window all day and sleep by the door just waiting for me to get home. I made it a ritual to always hug her first when I got home and hug her last before I left. She would growl at the other dogs if they even tried to get near me.
I'm gonna miss my baby.
