[2newpups]

We're finally strong enough after losing 15-1/2 year old Molly on September 30 to feel ready to open our hearts to Finn and Monty, babies we'll pick up February 4. Have been focusing on the excitement and preparations all expectant parents enjoy. Adding new puppy pics to our YT albums made me decide to revisit old photos of dear Molly - found a few and added them to our RIP album, but found the pain is still too raw and I had to quit - hard to look at them thru the tears.

It did make me realize, though, that there aren't near enough photos of Molly over the few years she was central to our life, and admittedly, our marriage - we married in 2000, and she came into our life less than a year later. I blame some of why we don't have photos for most of Molly's time here with us to the fact that it was 2012 before we finally gave in and bought cell phones. [I think we may be a couple of the last holdouts LOL.] It wasn't until then that we could snap and save pics instantly with our phones and Google Drive instead of having to search out the old 30mm camera and film and batteries.

Still, I so very much regret not taking many pictures of our baby as she grew to a whoppin' 5 lbs - unbelievably I found none at all of her as a puppy. Makes me want to share with y'all that we can't miss any opportunity to capture as many sweet moments as possible, which these little angels give to us. There go the tears again, so I'll close with this: Keep taking pics - even if you find you have 1,000 pics of just that little pink tongue sticking out as she sleeps!
