Dogs' lives are too short.  Their only fault, really.  ~Agnes Sligh Turnbull

I talk to him when I'm lonesome like; and I'm sure he understands.  When he looks at me so attentively, and gently licks my hands; then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, but I never say naught thereat.  For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes, but never a friend like that.  ~W. Dayton Wedgefarth

To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace.  ~Milan Kundera

I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love.  For me they are the role model for being alive.  ~Gilda Radner


Even though Mollie wasn't alive for very long, she lived the good life; one would have thought she was part of the family, as a human, rather than a dog. It wasn't suprising, really. We loved her straight away, even if she cried for her mother for the first few hours after we picked her up. I remember the look on her little smushed up face when she first touched the carpet and her little claws got stuck. I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her, as she looked so helpless and alone.

But we took care of her.

I remember holding her and having to massage her temples to put her to sleep while I was watching King Of The Hill.

I remember the way she always tucked her tail under her bum and ran laps of the house when we stamped on the floor or chased her with a particular toy.

I remember the way I cried when I watched the film Bolt with her in my arms, because Bolt ran back into a burning building just so he could die in Penny's arms; Penny hugged him and said "You're my good boy".

Mollie was my good girl. And that day, I discovered she liked the taste of tears. And then proceeded to lunge at my face and bite at my nose when I laughed.

I remember how much I loved her, and how much I will always love her.

And Mollie, I will never forget your personality. You loved a laugh. You loved to make little jokes even though we didn't speak the language. You were the smartest, most inquisitive and most human-like dog I have ever had the pleasure in meeting.

R.I.P Miss Mollie, you will, most definitely, be missed.
