It's hard to lose a family pet. But I keep telling myself it's worth the grieving time to have had all the companionship and loving, fun times with them. Each time it's as hard as the others but each time I take another in, in honor of those who've gone and to save another abandoned one. (Mine have all been strays or adopted from shelters, except one and he was a kitten mill kitty I bought to rescue from an abusive pet store situation- luckily the pet store went out of business very shortly after that!)
Cherish your time with Molly, Mark. She's a lucky dog and you're a good ownee. [img]smile.gif[/img]
