It's been one year-pic heavy

I can't believe that it's been one year ago today that we lost our baby girl Molly to cancer, she was only 5 years old. She never showed any signs of pain until 3 days before we lost her. I remember when we brought her home we didn't have a crate because we wasn't planning on bringing a dog home so that night we put her in a playpen in the room next to our bedroom. Molly started to cry that first and I told my wife that if we leave her alone that she would get used to it, well, in less than 5 minutes Molly climbed out of the playpen and came into our bedroom and laid down beside our bed and went to sleep and from that night on that was where she spent every night. She was first golden that we had ever owned and I wasn't sure if we made the right choice at the time. Boy, I look back now and she just melted our hearts and we couldn't have asked for a better member of the family. When she was 3 years old we adopted 4 boys and Austin was only 3 years at the time and he didn't like to go to bed at night because he would have bad dreams so one night we took Molly in his room and told her to get in bed with him and she hop into the foot of his bed and stayed there until he fell asleep and from that point on she would always go put Austin to bed. We live in the country and have a big yard and if any of the boys would go outside Molly was always right with them watching over them. She was such a loving girl that was taken from us to soon but she left so many wonderful memories. I've included some of my favorite pictures of her, they're not in any order of her age.

I am so sorry for your loss. Molly was taken much too young. She is such a special girl who was loved very much. I hope those happy memories you have can bring you some comfort today.

I hope that your memories of Molly help you through this time. From the diagnosis of cancer in our first golden to the day we sent her to the bridge was 4 days - we had seen absolutely no sign of illness until the Friday she stopped eating and saw the vet the same day.

Run free Molly, play hard and sleep softly sweetheart
