Nickname: Goo Ga

When I went to pick the 4th Yorkie puppy I would own in my life, it actually turned out that she picked me. After looking at all the puppies in the litter, I was undecided because they all were so neat and beautiful. As I was pondering mt decision, out she came from the rest....she walked right over to me to check me out. That was all I needed to know that she was the one...and I thank God that we had 16 wonderful years together! I've had three other Yorkies in my life, and have loved each one dearly, but Molly was with me the longest and we had such a special bond. She was my constant companion and the most loving and sensitive dog I could ever have hoped to have. She was just a good dog at heart....feisty, as Yorkies are, but always playful and fun and inquisitive and loving, too! Molly rarely barked except when it was warranted, such as when the doorbell would ring or when she was busy chasing a squirrel up a tree, or 'reminding' other animals in the neighborhood that this was really HER territory! She taught me so much about life and how to better savor each day. I still haven't mastered it, and maybe never will, but I think of her every day and am trying to enjoy each day to the fullest and appreciate all the little things, for they often bring the most joy. That's what she would expect me to do.The last six months or so of her life were not good....she endured being blind and deaf and eventually having dementia with acceptance and she always tried her best through it all. The hardest part was when I first realized she didn't recognize me any longer and that there would be no getting better. That was so hard to bear but I had to because she would have done no less for me. I loved her so very much and I just pray that she always knew that The great evangelist Billy Graham was once asked if he believed that dogs go to Heaven. His reply was along the lines of God has prepared Heaven for us to enjoy so if my joy is enhanced by the presence of my dog, then yes, I expect to see him there....for all eternity. That is the hope I cling to today. As I grow older with each passing day, I know it brings me closer to seeing once again those I have loved in this life, including my beloved Noel, Buffy, Joy and Molly. It's comforting to think they are playing together at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for my arrival. Maybe it won't be long but regardless, until then I will hold special memories of each one of them in my heart....until we meet again!
