My life changed just a few days ago. My beautiful, sweet puppy passed away on Monday. It has been so rough, and it still hurts so so much... But let me tell you about her. :) Molly was an adorable silver miniature poodle. She would be 12 years old this November. I remember the day we got her. My parents picked my sister and I up from school (we were in elementary at the time!) and they said they had a surprise. My sister and I were so so eager to figure out what it was! I distinctly remember looking in the back seat and seeing a little doggie carrier and a towel. Then I knew. But I had no idea this new puppy would change my life and be my best friend and companion for the next 11 years. We bought her from a litter of poodles and I remember picking her out. She was SO full of life, and she honestly was THE happiest dog I have ever met. Ever. She was always so excited to see anyone. And yes I know all dogs are like that lol but Molly really really was. Whenever I'd come home, she would ALWAYS run up to our gate, wagging her tail and greet me. ALWAYS. Seeing her always made me smile to come home. Haha and she wouldn't really run... but leap lol everywhere she would go, she would leap. She was so happy and so full of energy. She also loved EVERYONE she met! Well... she didn't like boys very much haha but thats a different story lol. But she immediately would run up to anyone she met and want to play! I spent so much time with this little puppy. She taught me so much. I learned responsibility as a result of being her main caretaker. I know it sounds a little silly lol but she also taught me so much more. She had such a beautiful, loving personality :) She was my angel.
Molly was a very very healthy puppy up until a few months ago. She started having this little cough.. At first we thought it was nothing, just a little cough. But it wouldn't stop. We took her to the vet and learned it was her heart. She had congestive heart failure. But she was still just as energetic and happy as always! Molly really didn't seem any different, she just had to take two tiny pills every day. Haha that was always fun. She did NOT like to take her medicine, but one of my friends suggested putting it in peanut butter! And Molly LOVED it :) it worked perfectly. So we did that for a few months. Everything seemed to be going all right. Then she started getting a little bit more lethargic. I thought it was just because it was SO hot and humid outside. (Summer in South Texas after all!). But she kept getting more tired. She wasn't as active as she usually was. But she was still okay! She'd still dance and jump for treats. Her favorite- Beggin Strips :) It wasn't until a week ago until I noticed she was moving really slow. i thought maybe it was just the heat, so I'd let her inside a lot more. But then she just stopped eating. I got a little worried but decided it was nothing. But the next day she wouldn't eat. And this went on for a few days. I tried everything. She just wouldn't eat. And her breathing became really shallow. I was so worried... We kept her inside most of the day and tried to make her as comfortable as possible. We even bought her a new cute little doggie bed she could use inside. This went on for a couple of days. And then this Monday, my dad scheduled an appointment for her at the vet. I wanted them to find out what was wrong! Or what I could do to help my sweet puppy. I unfortunately didn't go to the appointment (I had to work on a lot of Calculus homework lol but it's probably best I didn't go...). My dad said they gave her some oxygen and she perked up a lot! He also gave her a few treats (which she actually took and ate!!). They were about to run a few tests on her (or an X-Ray.. something. I don't remember.) when it happened. My poor baby had a heart attack. And she didn't make it.. :( I met up with my dad for lunch and he told me the news. I was devastated. I couldn't stop crying. But a part of me was relieved she wasn't suffering anymore. I don't know how long I could see her in that condition. And I was SO afraid to say goodbye to her and something happen when I was up in College Station... 
I miss her SO much. She was the best puppy in the entire world. She loved me so much, and I loved her with all my heart. It makes me so sad even thinking about all this. Its pretty hard writing this right now. But I know Molly would want me to be happy and remember all the beautiful memories I shared with her throughout the years. She was SUCH a blessing in my life. I constantly thanked God for giving her to me. She was part of our family. Its never easy losing a loved one, or a furry friend. But I'm just trying to be thankful for all the time I spent with her. Molly May, I miss you so very much. and I will ALWAYS love you :) Here are some pictures of my angel. Miss you baby
XOXOXOXOXOXO
I love you so so much Molly May! :)
