WE BROUGHT YOU HOME AS A PUPPY SO
CUDDLY AND SO CUTE, YOU GREW INTO
THE BEST DOG EVER IN OUR HOUSE,
YOU LOVED US, PROTECTED US AND AMUSED
US. YOU WERE AS HUMAN AS US.
EVEN THOUGH YOU HAD AN ATTITUDE YOU
PICKED YOU FRIENDS AND ENEMIES.
BUT CHILDREN YOU NEVER COULD ACCEPT, BUT
WITH US YOU WERE ALWAYS LOVABLE & PLAYFUL
YOU LOVED TO PLAY BALL,AND THE BANANA
THAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE SQUEEKER TOY FROM
PUPPY TO THE END.
YOU MET ME AT THE DOOR DAILY, TAIL WAGGING
ALWAYS GLAD TO SEE US EVEN WHEN YOU WERE
THE SICKEST NEAR THE END. I WISH I WOULD
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GIVE TO YOU AS MUCH AS
YOU GAVE TO US.
THE ONLY DOG WE EVER KNEW MORE AFRAID OF
GOING TO THE VET THAN ANY KID WAS OF A
DOCTOR. WE KNEW IT WAS TO LATE AND THERE
WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, I FELT IT CRUEL
TO PUT YOU THRU THAT PAIN, AND DIDN’T WANT
THEM TO HURT YOU OR BE MEAN TO YOU AGAIN.
YOU WERE WITH US ALMOST 11 YEARS, AND
I WISH IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LONGER I
WRAPPED YOU IN A WARM BLANKET, PUT
YOUR BALL YOU LOVED NEXT TO YOU. I
BURIED YOU NEXT TO THE ROSE BUSH YOU
LIKED TO HIDE IN SO MUCH. AND PUT A STONE
WHERE YOU LAY.
I CRIED AS I LAY YOU DOWN , THEY SAY
IT’S JUST A DOG, NO MOLLY , YOU WERE NOT
JUST A DOG, YOU WILL BE TRULY MISSED,
YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART, NO DOG
COULD EVER REPLACE YOU
I HOPE YOU ARE PLAYING BALL WITH
ONES WHO LOVE YOU AS WE DID.
WE LOVE AND MISS YOU,
