RIP My Sweet, Sweet Mollie
We put our 13 year old Irish Setter down this morning. This is the first dog I’ve ever been attached to. Sundance died when I was too young to remember and we gave Sadie away because she was crazy (well at least that’s what I remember!). I was never attached to either of them, but I was 13 when we got Mollie. She broke my wrist and gave me a nice raspberry near my right elbow that I still have a scar from, but I still loved her. We were in the room when they put her down, her face in my lap. It was so sad, but I know that she’s at peace now and not in pain. She could barely walk without falling over. To my sweet, sweet Mollie: Even though you broke my wrist, you will still be my favorite puppy girl. You drove me crazy sometimes but wouldn’t trade any of it. You brought our family joy and you will be forever missed.
Mollie Tara French 10.4.95-4.10.09
