It’s hard FRiend, know that you’re in my thoughts during your grieving the loss of a faithful friend and companion.
RIP
Samantha (beagle/terrier 14 went blind)
Gretchen (St Bernard/Great Dane 8 fall shatterd rear leg)
Hanna (St Bernard 4 Malignant Canine Lymphanoma)
&
Hans (St Bernard 6 brain injury after he T-boned a car while chasing predators)
I presently have Simon 12, 3/4 Newfoundland & 1/4 stupid dog. Wouldn't trade him. Has developed a grey beard and not looking forward to seeing him go.
The arrival of the next one will make your memories of the last more precious and make you appreciate the new one from the start even more.
You’ve posted the EXACT same post as I would.
You will have Phantom Dog Syndrome for awhile. It goes away after some time. Unfortunately.
I had pictures printed of my cat Valentine and put them where she was when I took them, like the window and her bed. They are a great comfort to me.
I’m sorry for your loss.
Another good one...
Old Blue

Well, I had an old dog and his name was Blue
Had an old dog and his name was Blue
Had an old dog and his name was Blue
Betcha five dollars he's a good dog too
Here old Blue
Good dog you
Well, I shouldered my axe and I tooted my horn
Went to find 'possum in the new-grown corn
Old Blue treed and I went to see
Blue had 'possum up a tall oak tree
Boy I roast'd 'possum, nice and brown
Sweet potatoes, n' all a-round
And to say, "Here old Blue, here boy
You can have some too"
Now, old Blue died and he died so hard
Made a big dent in my back yard
Dug his grave with a silver spade
Lowered him down with a link of chain
Every link I did call his name
Singing, "Here old Blue
You good dog you"...
We might be able to have a good visit about ships and shoes and sealing wax, and whether pigs have wings . . .
If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year.
Do you suppose,
That they could get it clear?

Absolutely heartbreaking, so sorry you had to say goodbye, for now, to Molly.
Definately keeps things in perspective.
