"Be at Peace, Molly"

When is rains, it pour around here! Molly has been sick for a while and it suddenly was getting a lot worse. I won't go into the details but a year ago she had a cancerous tumor removed and we believe that the cancer finally was taking it's toll on her body. Tonight, Paul and I took her to the vet to be put to sleep. We had prepared the kids as best we knew how. The girls were on to wondering what the next pet would be but Jamahl had alot of questions. Right before we took her, Jamahl asked why we couldn't do a transplant with another dog so that Molly could keep living. We are always amazed at how his mind works! Miraculously, when we arrived at the vet, a friend of ours who works there was there to help us through it. She was so great. She knew just the right words to say and made the ordeal as good as she could. Thanks Sharron! It feels like we have lived 10 days in this one. The house feels strangely quiet, even with the noise of the kids. Molly was a great pet that certainly could be a pain sometimes but she fit just right into this crazy home and we will all miss her.
