It
is with great sadness that I had to say goodbye to my beloved
Molly. At over 10 1/2 years, she still was in excellent condition
... except for the cancer that set in the last couple months. She
died peacefully in my arms ... a safe, happy place for an old girl who
slept on my bed almost every night.
Everyone
loved Molly. She had the ultimate Labrador temperament, calm,
sweet, loving, cooperative, tried so hard to please. Yet she was a
dynamo retriever, even to the last summer when we went to the
pond. She was the best mama, loving and nurturing her babies with
complete devotion ... and always retained a special, forever bond with
her kids.
Molly
came from my old
bloodlines, so it pleases me that she's been such a wonderful
producer. Her memory and wonderful qualities live on through her
kids, grandkids and great-grandkids ... perfect temperament for
family companions and strong potential for conformation, hunting and performance
competition ... true all-purpose Labradors.
Rest
well, my "sweet Dolly". Run free and joyously with your
granddaddy Major, grandma Dyna, grandpa Mac and even some of your babies
who didn't make it. I miss you so much but will never forget the
love we shared.
With
love,
Mom
