Our lovely dog MOLLY died this morning
.freerepublic.com/ ^ | 3/8/18 | self

Posted on 03/07/2018 1:09:17 PM PST by a little elbow grease

Our lovely, good twelve year old boxer dog MOLLY died this morning in our living room. It was not a complete surprise.As I truly said to Molly this morning, “Go ahead sweetie, you can go…….. it seems like the time ……good for you and good for God. No time to lose.”

She died about 30 seconds after I said that to her. Mary and I wept some …….. held her paws with love …… and wished my nephew David were here with a beer or two.

Molly was a complete sweetheart ……. and forget about the God messages. Molly was clued into God before she was created . We all were.....and we all are.

Molly had God in her eyes. All dogs do. We all do. Let it show…..

Molly, on her last night on this earth, tired and weary as she was for about ten days ………. walked into my bedroom from the living room at 7:30 p.m .………. her too-long toenails clicking on the hardwood floors as she purposefully proceeded ……….. she made the turn into my room …… as I only heard her, but, Mary actually was fortunate enough to see Molly come into my room.

Molly hadn’t made that move to my room until after midnight for months ……. but just last night ……. she entered very much earlier, five hours earlier. I don’t wonder why.

‘Goodbye‘ ……. is a difficult sentiment for man or beast. Molly the pooch made it easy.

Mary (my wife) and I lived with this darling Molly for many years …….. now let’s all be just a little humble ……. and suggest that we all know absolutely NOTHING about God.

***********

Bless all who deserve to be blessed and who are good to others WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING ……… and to those who love the ones who deserve love ….. (even a baserunner for your favorite team who gets thrown out on an attempted steal of third base with nobody out in a tied game in the last of the ninth!)

Be well .............

Ain’t nothing better than a Free Republic sympathy thread to remind us of the great value of life. People’s stories are amazing.

True............ love from here.

Molly, you are a terrific hound.

You are so kind and so right.

Molly was a female boxer dog living on a secluded four acre suburban piece of property with lots of deer outside of Pittsburgh. She had the good life. She enjoyed chasing the deer off our property, yet to my knowledge ...... never ran one down.

Gog bless her............ she seemed to just want to run them off her territory.

I miss my little Molly.

Very sorry on the loss of your pet. It hurts just as bad as when we lose a beloved human friend or family member.

Thank you. I'm going to bed now............ not expecting my dear dog to come into my room in the middle of the night......... as usual.

Instead........... she's in heaven with The Lord looking for doggie treats.

Be well ..........all.

Doggies are so sweet and good.

Those in Heaven use dogs to deliver their expressions of love to us down here on Earth. Every moment of joy, every hug, every tail wag, is from someone special reaching out to you from Heaven. Enjoy the message! And the messenger!

I am so sorry for your loss but I am so glad you could be there with Molly when the time arrived.   That is a blessing.

My wife and I probably will not follow very far behind you. Our loving Boxer, Boz, is on his bed asleep behind me as I type. The past few months I have been taking him outside for walks because his arthritis keeps him from using his doggy door to walk down the steps into the backyard.

I am struggling to keep my composure just thinking what you must be going through. Your hearts are breaking now but will soon be filled again with loving and happy memories.

I’m glad Molly went peacefully. Mine didn’t. He was sick for a year before I had to give him up. The pain gets easier but never goes away. I’m glad Molly went on her terms. I can tell she was loved.

God ... thank you. She went as she may have wished.

If I spoke to you before ...... it's good. I just can't keep track of all the kind people here on FR.

Bless you ................you are so good.

Take care of Boxer, Boz.

No matter how old and arthritic he may get ....... he's always going to look longingly into your eyes ..... and LOVE YOU!

Take care.

Try to stay near (as much as you can) for the good times.

I love you ........ and wish you well.

When and if your poochie gets sick ......... touch him/her very softly and SLOWLY down their vertebrae.

I don't mean to suggest I know much................ considering my poochie just passed away. All I know is that she had little pain ..... and symmetric touching is good for anyone.

God ..... that is so beautiful.

I gotta go to bed now.

Molly won't be by my bed tonight, but your sweet and wise thoughts will be on my mind.

Thank you.

I am so sorry for your loss of Molly. It may have been her time but it’s never the right time. And if we had enough time to say goodbye, we’d never say it. Gd bless those who love their animals. She deserves your loving mourning.

Relax a little, Molly is under the friendly paw and being introduced to all the best dog places, under tender paw of my beloved toy American Eskimo Zeus.
