Thanks to you all... ...for your kindness and compassion since the loss of my sweet, little Molly last week.
It has, needless to say, been a very difficult week for us. I've been crying a lot, which Maggie (my 4 year old) doesn't like one bit.
I know that I'm luckier than some. Molly was not my only fur baby...I still have Maggie and MacKenzie. That doesn't make the loss of her any less difficult for me. Molly (my "middle child") had a very different personality than the other two. I don't know how to explain her sweetness. She used to listen...really listen (with the head bobbing and all that went with it) while I played my flute...just sitting at my feet and listening to me. Maggie sleeps and MacKenzie hides in the bookcase. Molly listened! (I've not played since she died!)
Anyway, it's hard. I look at the two I have and see a little ghost of the one precious puppy that I lost. I know it'll get better with time, but..... One of my girls is missing, and I hate it!!!!
And yes...my neighbors did have their dog put down the morning after Molly's death. (This really doesn't make me feel any better. It's as if they felt the death of Bailey was payment for Molly). They've moved on...went out and got themselves a kitten...named it Hope...want me to be excited about all of this.
Anyway, thanks for caring. And thanks very much for understanding what I'm going through. (One of my brothers came over and made a remark about "only a dog". As I kicked him out of the house, I pointed out that perhaps his is "only a dog"....mine are my fur babies. His wife, whom I also kicked to the curb, made some sort of remark about the fact that I'd only had her for two months (as if one can't be totally, idiotically head over heels in love with one of these little ones in seconds).
I'll get over it. I know I will. For now it's way too new.
Thanks for caring about me. |
