I don't often post Molly stories on the blog, especially when weather information is so much more important. However, when james set up this weather blog, he provided a category "Miss Molly." You can click on that category and see a variety of stories about the little girl.
But today, I want to tell a story from Cara McFarland. I never do this without first getting permission and Carla graciously agreed. Here is her story:
I asked permission to use this story in the hope that it would make us all appreciate our pets more and treasure our time with them.
Carla's cocker spaniel, Brandy, developed a cancerous
tumor the size of a golf ball. It grew to the size of a softball in two
short months. Carla has a great vet and he told her that Brandy would let
her know when it was time to go.
About a week ago, Brandy woke up and put her head under Carla's hand wanting
her to pet her. She had never done that before, because she preferred belly rubs.
Carla is sure that it was Brandy's way of telling her she was ready to go.
Carla had read a book recently called, "Getting Lucky" by Susan Marino. It was a
story about a dog, named Lucky, coming to live his last days in a hospice called Angel's Gate.
On April 21, the Pell City Animal Hospital was loving and compassionate during Brandy's last
moments. Carla will never forget how beautiful Brandy looked in her box
holding her favorite toy.
Brandy was buried April 22 at Carla's parent's
farm next to her cat, Max. If Carla's story does not touch us, I don't know
what will. I dread the day when I face that with Little Miss Molly. I plan
to post a longer story on the BLOG. Life does not go on and on forever.
Enjoy every minute that you have.
