Sad Thanksgiving at our house

[Lowell]

I have mentioned our dog Molly before, she came to my moms house in july of 2012. Mom took her in and kept her until she went to the nursing home , so we took her in. That was 2013. She was a great dog and smart. She always put a smile on peoples faces.she had been a little sick lately but had gotten better. about 5 days ago she started acting strange and kept getting weaker. this morning she could barely stand so we took her to the vet . xrays showed a large tumer in her abdomen and the vet didnt give us any hope that surgery would help so we had to put her to sleep.So my wife and i are sitting in our lonely house tonight and ive got this awful lump in my throat.

Loosing a canine friend like that can put a damper on a holiday. Know what you're going thru, doesn't make it any better.

So sorry for your loss
You and your wife did a great thing by keeping Molly in the family.

I’m sorry she went down the bridge. I know it’s tough.

I haven't had a pet in years due to the same reason. I get too attached to them. And I honestly can't say "I know how you feel" because with animals just like with humans, every relationship is different. BUT, I have felt sadness and the LUMP in the throat many times with both.

The best cure for the lump in the throat is to let the tears fly.......REAL men DO CRY. Some may even say it's dumb to cry over an animal, but it's not so much that it's an animal, as it is that is was an animal that could dish out more love than it every received......Praying for you.

Very sorry to hear

REALLY sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my 2 best friends this year, about 2 months apart. Had them put to sleep here at the house and I cried like a baby.I read somewhere....to have lived and not known the love of a dog is to not have lived at all. I still get a BIG lump in my throat, even now, when I talk about Jack and Sammy. Some of the Slicksters got to meet them in Salina. I sure do miss my boys, and I truly feel your pain. Jeff
