Molly

Our Braveheart!

11/19/91--1/30/02

Loyal friend, confidant, funny, smart,  constant companion for ten wonderful years…..These words and phases are a start as how to describe my relationship with Molly.

 She was excited every time I came home; she welcomed me with “kisses” at the top of the stairs and then begged to have her tummy rubbed.  In my home office, Molly’s place was on top of the desk on a pillow right beside me.  She loved to snuggle in bed in the mornings and insisted we go to bed on time at night.  There were times when I literally had to “tuck her in” so I could finish reading a book. 

She took her job as” back yard security dog” to heart.  She would chase squirrels, possums, and birds away but loved to visit with the neighbors (they all knew her by name).  She had a set route she took every morning to make sure everything was as it should be. 

Molly waited to eat her dinner until we were eating.  When her dish was empty, she would stand and look at me until I put in more food.  She would then walk away.  She just wanted to make sure she had food.  

Molly was sure that everybody that came in the house was there to see her.  She was well behaved and she would wait patiently until they acknowledged her and petted her, and then she would move on to the next guest. 

I think it would be safe to say that Molly “ruled our house, yard, and hearts,"  I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.  

Molly passed away in January 2002 after a short illness.  It’s still painful for me to think of her as gone.  I have wonderful memories and she will live in my heart forever.
