Welcome to Molly's Rainbow Residency

Memories of Molly

My dad and I found Molly at the pound, on March 11, 1995. She licked my face, and I knew she was the one for me. Molly rode in my truck like she was born to it. She was already trained, knew how to use the doggie door, took a drink from the toilet and jumped right up onto my bed within 5 minutes of coming through my front door. She plainly was happy to have found a home with me. What a joy she was. The vet said she was a lab/border collie mix, and I know mixed in there too was a big heart, lots of smiles, and unconditional love for me, no matter what. The last thing she did before she drifted away from me was to lick my hand, as if to tell me everything was ok. I miss her so very much. 9/4/07 - 2 weeks ago yesterday, Molly tamale, and I sure do miss you. Have you seen Miss Kelly yet? She probably won't hiss at you now, such a goofy bird she was, and so jealous when I brought you home. She did mellow, though, and learned to love you, too. You're back home here now, in time for Labor Day. I know you remember our Labor Day campouts!!! You and Jake have the place of honor in the livingroom, on Grandmother's precious tea cart...I know she's ok with that, in fact, today is her birthday! Wish her a happy one for me, ok? Love, Mom 9/17/07 - You've been away now for 4 weeks. I still see you at the fence watching me leave in the truck, and your little seat belt is still in your spot on the front seat. The weather is finally cooling down, your favorite time of year. Your chair is still by the firepit in the back yard, you always liked to sit in the chair or in my lap, though you were a bit large for a lap dog, and be warmed by the fire and enjoy the peaceful nights. The quail and bunnies still wait for me in the morning, but nothing's the same without you, my friend. xoxox, mom. 9/19/07 - Tomorrow marks one month since you left for the bridge. I thought it would get easier, but I still look for you at the door when I come home. When I lock the door at night I see you grabbing your snowman and running down the hall to jump in bed. All your toys were called 'snowman', even your tennis ball, which is still against the wall by the back door. Please share your toys with all your new friends, little one, and know you are loved and missed more than I can ever say. xoxoxo, mom 10/16/07 - Well, today is my birthday, and it is a sad day without you. It was a nice day spent with Dad, who misses you, too. In a couple days you will have been gone for 2 months. I miss you still, and not a day goes by that I don't think of you and smile and/or cry. Cousin Cathy lost her beloved Jasmine a couple days ago, so look for her and remember to share your toys and show her around, ok? xoxoxox, mom 11/13/07 - Hi, sweet pea. As you must know, Miss Ellie came to live here almost 2 weeks ago. I certainly had no idea I would have another dog so soon after you left. She needed a home, as her moms had their hands full with 2 other dogs and she needed special care. Ellie is a border collie, with a lot of your traits, but she was badly abused as a pup, and has a bad shoulder - like me - and is quite timid. She was nursed back to health by the ladies who gave her to me, and they did a great job. She has not touched anything of yours, except your tennis ball, and has decided to stay for awhile. I still miss you so, but she makes it easier to come home, and makes me smile. You'd like her, too, Molly tamale...xoxoxo, mom 12/19/07 - Tomorrow marks 4 months since you left for the bridge. The Christmas decorations are up, and your Christmas picture is up, too. I imagine all will miss your Christmas card this year, the tradition ends, but I certainly have a number of entertaining photos of you in your Christmas hat! I already miss you tearing open your present on Christmas morning...I hope you have lots to open from all your new friends at the bridge.....xoxox, mom 12/25/07 - Merry Christmas, my dear friend. I miss you so this day, but I know you are happy and enjoying all your new toys and friends. I sent my 'after Christmas' cards last evening. Your silly hat and 'I can't believe she made me wear this damned hat again' expression will be missed. Be well, and rest in peace on this blessed Christmas day...xoxox, mom 01/14/08 - Happy New Year, little one! A bit late, but I know you are ok with that....You are missed by all, your Christmas funny face made quite a few folks smile; many dear friends told me so. I hope you are enjoying your new flowers! xoxox, mom 02/15/08 - Sweet Pea, it is raining so much lately, I know how much you hated getting your feet wet. I know you are warm and dry and healthy, and that brings me comfort. I miss you, little one. xoxox, mom 3/11/08 - Happy Birthday, dear friend. Of course I didn't forget! I know you have lots of presents to open, remember to share! Have you met Trixie yet? She arrived befoe you did, and tells her dad it is really a great place. She says angels give good belly rubs, but it isn't quite the same. Enjoy your special day, and know you are always in my thoughts. xoxoxo, mom 3/23/08 - Happy Easter, Sweet Pea! I'll leave your Easter Tree up for awhile, it looks cute. I'll bet you finally are enjoying chocolate Easter eggs...I wouldn't share them with you here, but I'll bet you can have as many as you want now, and not get sick from them!! Eat up, little one, and have a few Peeps, too! Run and play and have fun....I miss you. xoxoxo, mom 4/17/08 - The year is flying by, Miss Molly! The grass is silly-high in the back yard, I remember you used to hate the weed eater....me too! Getting warmer, your blankets are off the bed and back into the closet until winter. Wasn't the same without you this cold winter, but Ellie did her best. She's quite respectful of your things, and still won't let me take her picture. Did you warn her about having to wear a Santa hat if she got too comfortable getting her picture taken???? Miss you...xoxoxo, mom
