Miss Molly by Christy Cogdill & Ricky Dunn / Your Wanna Be Mom & Dad

Dear Molly:

You had a horrible life and I can only say that I am very sorry that your “real” owners wouldn’t claim you because they would have had to pay a fine…you were so abused…and I apologize for the way other people treated you.

You were only a year or so old when you started coming into my yard with Jake and Mrs. Beasley for food and treats….where else could you go in that neighborhood where there are only 2 other people who loved animals for food?

I am so sorry that I never got to touch you…but you responded to me and you knew that we loved you….Ricky was your person if you had one…because you really prefered him….

I remember Memorial Day, 2002, you were obviously in labor and you were waiting on us to come feed you at your “feeding place”….you couldn’t stay awake and when I tried to pick you up to take you home with us, you came amazingly to life and ran away…wish I had succeeded because you would have been safe here…22 acres for all of you to roam…and NO CARS!!

I apologize for all the horrors inflicted on you and I hope that now that you are in heaven, you can see that Ricky and I meant well and only wanted you as part of our family because we loved you…..

Oh yeah, you knew I took Georgi from you because you were very mad at me….you never forgave me for that one but she looks like a black German Shepherd and she is one happy dog!! But, you can see her now and you know that….

Bailey and Kirby, Georgi’s littermates, live with Karen and they are sweet, too…check them out if you haven’t already…

Oh, and the 7 puppies? That were left orphans because of your sudden passing, Ricky and I found them the next day in a dead tree stump…right where you had left them…they were hungry…but sweet…we brought them up to our mountain and called them “Molly’s Magnificent Seven”…but you know that because you were here with us…yes, I felt your sweet spirit for 2-3 days after your passing up here….we named them Boots, Giggles, Gatekeeper, Frito, BlackJack, Ace and Bear….Blackjack, Giggles, Boots and Frito were adopted to good homes and I kept Ace, Bear and Gatekeeper…and was very happy to do so….Giggles came back a few months ago ABUSED and Starved by the people who adopted her and called her Cheyenne…but, she is home now and doing well….we call her Gidget aka PEEWEE…

We buried you here on our mountain on a knoll where you can see out….we miss you Molly and we are sooo sorry about your life…..take care and say hello to Big’N, Mighty Max, and Coker for me…and tell them Moma and Daddy loves them too….

I am glad you are in Heaven and can look down and see that not everybody is evil and mean and abusive…..run free and gather all the love that you only got here from your daddy and me…

We miss you and we love you!! PS PLEASE HELP US CATCH JAKE, Millie, and MRS BEASLEY out there in hell…it’s been two years…but we will never give up…..so, say a prayer for them and lend us a helping hand!!
